• Asset

Multiple Choice

What is an individual image within a sequence of images?

• Tween

• Layer

• Animation

• Frame

Multiple Choice

This principle makes objects appear to obey the laws of physics; for instance, an object's weight determines how it reacts to an action, like a push. Critical for establishing a character's mood, emotion, and reaction.

• arc

• timing

• staging

• appeal

Multiple Choice

Its purpose is to direct the audience's attention, and make it clear what is of greatest importance in a scene. This can be done by the placement of a character in the frame, the use of light and shadow, or the angle and position of the camera.

• staging

• timing

• arc

• pose to pose

Multiple Choice

Gives the illusion of weight and volume to a character as it moves. It is used in all forms of character animation from a bouncing ball to the body weight of a person walking.

• exaggeration

• anticipation

• squash and stretch

• timing

Multiple Choice

This principle means taking into account forms in three-dimensional space, or giving them volume and weight. The animator needs to be a skilled artist and has to understand the basics of 3D shapes, anatomy, weight, balance, light and shadow, etc.

• timing

• arc

• solid drawing

• anticipation

Multiple Choice

Principle with more drawings near the beginning and end of an action, emphasizing the extreme poses, and fewer in the middle. Most objects need time to accelerate and slow down, this principle softens the action, making it more life-like.

• pose to pose/key to key

• anticipation

• appeal

• slow in - slow out

Multiple Choice

This action adds to and enriches the main action and adds more dimension to the character animation, supplementing and/or re-enforcing the main action.t

• exaggeration

• secondary action

• squash and stretch

• solid drawing

Multiple Choice

The action that follows the main action; actions do not stop at the same time.

• exaggeration

• solid drawing

• overlapping action

• timing

Multiple Choice

This principle describes an action that remains true to reality, just presenting it in a wilder, more extreme form.

• exaggeration

• timing

• anticipation

• appeal

Multiple Choice

Most actions follow a slightly circular path. This is especially true of the human figure and the action of animals. Give animation a more natural action and better flow. Examples are a pendulum swinging, arm movement, head turns and even eye movements.

• exaggeration

• timing

• arc

• squash and stretch

Multiple Choice

This movement prepares the audience for a major action the character is about to perform, such as, starting to run, jump or change expression.

• squash and stretch

• slow in - slow out

• anticipation

• overlapping action

Multiple Choice

This movement prepares the audience for a major action the character is about to perform, such as, starting to run, jump or change expression.

• Anticipation

• Staging

• Slow in and slow out

• Arc

Multiple Choice

• Staging

• Anticipation

Multiple Choice

Almost all actions have a little bit of curve to them. Almost no action is a straight line.

• Staging

• Arc

• Anticipation

• Squash and Stretch

Multiple Choice

More frames of animation exist at the start and end of an action, with fewer frames of animation in the middle of that action. This makes the movement more realistic.

• Slow-In and Slow-Out

• Squash and Stretch

• Timing

Multiple Choice

I am the first and most important principle.

• Secondary Action

• Follow Through and Overlapping Action
