Question 1

Movies on film are typically shot at a shutter rate of __________.

Accepted Answer

24 fps

Question 2

Explain how to animate a sphere by rolling it across the screen.

Accepted Answer

You first need to make a number of rotated images of the sphere. Rotate the image in 45-degree increments to create a total of eight images, rotating a full circle of 360 degrees. When each is displayed sequentially at the same location, the sphere spins.

Question 3

What is the process of creating a series of frames between keyframes in animation software?
A) tweening
B) zooming
C) authoring
D) color-cycling

Accepted Answer

The process of creating a series of frames between keyframes is known as tweening (short for in-betweening). This involves the software automatically generating frames that fill in the movement or changes between the keyframes to create a smooth animation.

Question 4

Which of the following file formats is specifically designed to contain animations?
A) psd
B) aiff
C) xls
D) gif

Accepted Answer

The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file format is specifically designed to contain animations. It allows for a sequence of images to be looped and played back in sequence, creating the appearance of movement.

Question 5

Which of the following is an open-source standard for passing 3-D animation files among applications?
A) Flash
B) Maya
C) COLLADA
D) Gif

Accepted Answer

COLLADA is an open-source standard for passing 3-D animation files among applications and is widely used in the industry. Flash and Gif are primarily used for 2-D animations, while Maya is a 3-D animation software but not a file format standard.

Question 6

Which of the following is the act of making something come alive.
A) Animation
B) Zooming
C) Tweening
D) Morphing

Accepted Answer

Animation is the act of making something come alive by creating a sequence of images that generate the illusion of movement when played back in rapid succession. Zooming refers to changing the scale of an image or video to make it appear larger or smaller. Tweening is a type of animation that involves generating intermediate frames between two keyframes. Morphing is a type of animation that involves transforming one image into another image seamlessly.

Question 7

The more key points, the smoother the transition applies to which popular effect?
A) kerning
B) fading
C) tracking
D) morphing

Accepted Answer

The statement "the more key points, the smoother the transition" applies to morphing, as it involves transforming one object or image into another by creating a series of key points along the way. Kerning, fading, and tracking do not involve creating key points for transition.

Question 8

__________ animation is a technique in which a series of progressively different graphics is used on each frame of movie film.
A) Cel
B) RGB
C) Phi
D) Beta

Accepted Answer

Cel animation is a traditional animation technique in which hand-drawn or hand-painted images are photographed one frame at a time on a transparent celluloid sheet, or "cel", to create the illusion of movement.

Question 9

Which file format does HTML5 use to deliver browser animation?
A) avi
B) mpg
C) wav
D) svg

Accepted Answer

HTML5 uses Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for delivering browser animations. Unlike raster images such as JPEG or PNG, SVG is a vector format that allows images to be scaled up or down without losing quality. This makes it ideal for animating graphics on websites and is supported by all modern browsers.

Question 10

To make a bouncing ball animation seem natural, you must consider which of the following?
A) perspective adjustment
B) acceleration effects of gravity
C) morphing parameters
D) perpendicular line of sight

Accepted Answer

To create a natural-looking bouncing ball animation, it is essential to consider the acceleration effects of gravity. This means that the ball should gradually lose speed as it ascends and gain speed as it descends, giving it a more realistic appearance. Perspective adjustment, morphing parameters, and perpendicular line of sight are not directly related to creating a natural-looking bouncing ball animation.

Question 11

Animation is possible because of a biological phenomenon known as __________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Animation is possible because of a biological...

Question 12

A psychological phenomenon in which the human mind needs to conceptually complete a perceived action is called:
A) chi
B) alpha
C) phi
D) delta

Accepted Answer

Phi phenomenon is a psychological phenomenon in which our mind has a need to conceptually complete a perceived action. It is often seen in illusions where our mind fills in gaps to create a sense of continuity and motion. The other options, chi, alpha, and delta, do not pertain to this phenomenon.

Question 13

__________, available in high-end 3-D, is the process by which you link objects such as hands to arms and define their relationships and limits.

Accepted Answer

The answer of __________, available in high-end 3-D, is the...

Question 14

What is the main difference between 2-D and 3-D animation?
A) the number of frames per second
B) the number of axes on which the motion occurs
C) the number of keyframes
D) the number of tweens

Accepted Answer

The main difference between 2-D and 3-D animation is the number of axes on which the motion occurs. 2-D animation occurs on a two-dimensional plane, while 3-D animation occurs in a three-dimensional space, allowing for a more realistic depiction of movement and depth. The other options listed (frames per second, keyframes, and tweens) refer to technical aspects of animation, but do not constitute the main difference between 2-D and 3-D animation.

Question 15

To create an animation with a realistic rolling effect, calculate the __________ of the ball to specify the movement.

Accepted Answer

The answer of To create an animation with a realistic...

Question 16

The word __________, in computer animation terminology, usually means special methods for computing color values, providing edge detection, and layering so that images can blend or otherwise mix their colors to produce special transparencies, inversions, and effects.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The word __________, in computer animation terminology,...
