Animation I Quiz (Principles of Animation)

I am the first and most important principle.

• Secondary Action

• Follow Through and Overlapping Action

• Arc

• Squash and stretch

I make characters seem realistic and interesting. The viewer doesn't have to like them, but he/she does have to connect with them.

• Exaggeration

• Appeal

• Slow In and Slow Out

• Timing

I give a sense of weight and flexibility to drawn objects. My most important point is to keep the volume of the object consistent, no matter how it moves.

• Anticipation

• Squash and stretch

• Staging

• Solid Drawing

I give volume and weight to 2-dimensional art, imagining it in a 3-dimensional space.

• Solid Drawing

• Exaggeration

• Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose

• Staging

I prepare the audience for an action, and make that action look more realistic.

• Arc

• Anticipation

• Slow In and Slow Out

• Exaggeration

I tell the audience where to look. I have also been defined as "the presentation of any idea so that it is completely and unmistakably clear", whether that idea is an action, a personality, an expression, or a mood.

• Staging

• Arc

• Exaggeration

• Follow Through and Overlapping Action

I am an action scene that is animated frame by frame, from beginning to end.

• Straight Ahead Action

• Pose to Pose

• Solid Drawing

• Overlapping Action

I am an action scene that is animated by drawing a few key frames, and filling in the spaces later.

• Straight Ahead Action

• Pose to Pose

• Solid Drawing

• Overlapping Action

I make sure that when a character is in motion, and stops, that all parts of the character do not stop at the same time.

• Exaggeration

• Overlapping Action

• Squash and Stretch

• Follow Through

I make sure that when a character is in motion, different parts of the character move at different rates of speed.
