The Lego Batman Movie

What animation technique was primarily used to create "The Lego Movie"?

• Traditional hand-drawn animation

• Computer-generated imagery (CGI) designed to mimic stop-motion

• Live-action footage with Lego characters composited in

• Pure stop-motion animation with physical Lego bricks

What was a key difference in the approach to realism between early Lego films and "The Lego Movie"?

• Early films used more detailed character models.

• "The Lego Movie" aimed for a more grounded and realistic feel.

• Early films focused on abstract art styles.

• "The Lego Movie" incorporated live actors alongside Lego characters.

Which of the following was a method used in "The Lego Movie" to make the digital world appear more like physical stop-motion?

• Using advanced motion capture technology for character movements.

• Digitally building the world exclusively from real, purchasable Lego bricks.

• Employing real-world lighting setups on miniature sets.

• Incorporating hand-drawn textures on all surfaces.

What rule did animators follow for character movement in "The Lego Movie" to mimic real Lego toys?

• Characters could bend their limbs in any direction.

• Characters were animated with exaggerated squash and stretch.

• Characters could only move their limbs in ways a physical Lego toy could.

• Characters were given soft, rubbery textures to enhance flexibility.

What is a fundamental limitation of Lego characters that animators had to address?

• They can only move their heads up and down.

• They are limited to nine points of movement.

• Their arms cannot be extended.

• They cannot perform fast motions.

How did animators achieve dynamic poses, such as a character doing the splits or showing motion blur, while adhering to the physical limitations of Lego bricks?

• They used traditional 2D animation smear frames.

• They digitally stretched the Lego pieces to create the desired effect.

• They built custom Lego brick assemblies that mimicked the desired shape or pose.

• They ignored the physical limitations and animated freely.

What rendering techniques were employed to make the digital Lego characters appear more realistic and less like "old games"?

• Applying a smooth, polished texture to all surfaces.

• Adding realistic scratches, dents, and crease lines to match physical Lego molds.

• Using brighter, more vibrant colors than real Lego bricks.

• Simplifying the character models to reduce rendering time.

Which of the following is a significant advantage of using Computer Graphics (CG) over traditional stop-motion animation for large-scale Lego movies?

• CG allows for easier modification of camera angles and animations after initial creation.

• Stop-motion is inherently faster and more cost-effective for complex scenes.

• CG animation always produces a more "realistic" look than stop-motion.

• Stop-motion offers greater flexibility in building massive, intricate worlds.
