An example of Claymation animation is ______.

Refers to variations in the proportions of objects, lines or shapes.

In its simplest form, it is physically manipulating a model, taking an image, then moving the model slightly, one frame at a time to create the illusion of movement.

The phenomenon which causes animation (and all film and video presentations) to "fool" the eye into seeing a series of images, shown successively, as real, live motion.

Animation performed by computer, or computer graphics used in animation. Can be 2D or 3D animation.

The process of infusing movement or life out of static or inanimate objects to create an illusion of movement. Can be in painting or drawing , computer (FLASH, C.A.P.S), stop motion or even drawing directly on film stock.

In it's strictest interpretation, this should mean any animation released in a format (that is, you MUST wear glasses to see it). In practice, this term has come to mean computer animation that imitates a real world.

The simplest shapes, such as circles, squares, and triangles.

Everything radiates outward from a central point

Animation in two dimensions or flat animation. Can be computer or hand-animated.

Is repetition and movement in which some/all elements repeat regularly.

Is a visual flow through the composition.

Offers some change in value creating a visual discord in a composition. It shows the difference between items and can be used as a background to bring objects out and forward in a design.

Brings together a composition with similar units. If your composition uses wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and shapes

What is a feeling of visual equality in shape, form, value, color, or more?

An area that first attracts attention in a composition. This area is more important when compared to the other objects or elements in a composition

Reflection of light refers to hues and the properties of hue; intensity, temperature, value and saturation.

What is the degree of light and dark in a drawing? It is the contrast between black, white and all the tones in between. It can be used with color as well as black and white. Contrast is the range between lightest and darkest values.

This refers to 3-D or it can be an illusion of 3-D created by the application of value using shading techniques.

It is how something feels. It's surface quality can either be tactile or visual. It can be real or implied. It is the degree of roughness or smoothness in objects and compositions.

In animation, what is flat and two dimensional with no form or thickness?

The viewer needs to feel the character is real and interesting...do this by giving the character charisma, charm, simplicity, magnetism. Varying parts of the body including facial features makes characters more likable.

Perfect imitation can look static. This brings realism into animation. If you want a person to look angry, make him look furious. What is it?

A person walking can swing arms or put hands in pockets, speak or whistle. This movement emphasizes action rather than take attention away from the main action. Good examples are arms swinging, head bobbing, whistling, chewing gum, texting

Most human and animal actions occur along an arched trajectory. Walking or running is a good example. We bob up and down.

The human body needs time to accelerate and time to slow down. You might have more keyframes at the start and end--fewer in the middle.

Certain parts of the body remain in motion even after the body has stopped (law of Physics).

Used to direct your audience's attention on what is happening. It can clearly communicate to the audience the attitude, mood, or reaction of the character as it relates to the story. Camera angles can tell the story.

What prepares an audience for action and to make the action look more realistic.

What is the area you draw onto in an animation that is visible to the viewer

What is a key frame?

What is one way that animators can convey emotion in the characters?

If an animation was using 25 frames per second, how many frames would be used in 7 seconds?

Lego animations are a good example of what type of animation?

The process of generating images that go between keyframes, also called inbetweening. 

The scene behind the action in an animation is the _________.

What is traditional animation?

Susie is creating an animation project. Which part of the animation program will be used to generate the viewable portion of the animation?

How many frames per second is a typical animation?

A ___________ is a single image in an animated production.

What does 2D mean?

Animation is a sequence of …?

Gives a feeling of weight & flexibility to objects. For example, ____ when an object hits the ground, and _____ on the objects way to its full height before falling again.
