Creating Computer Animation

Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 25 questions in 10 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A single still image in a video animation.






2. A program that can work independently of a browser to play audio or video files.






3. An animation process in which frames are created between the keyframes that are needed to create the illusion of movement.






4. Process of applying colors - textures - shadows - transparency - etc. to create the final image or animation.






5. The vertical red marker in the timeline that shows which frame is the current frame when previewing an animation.






6. All images - objects and animation are created on the computer. Typically uses 3-D images. It adds two steps to the animation process.






7. Process of manipulating real-world objects and photographing them one frame at a time. Very popular method with the film industry until computer generated imagery became possible. Now used mainly in clay animation.






8. Process of creating a wireframe structure of the 3-D objects and scenes.






9. The process of reducing the space required to store data by efficiently encoding the content.






10. An animation process in which frames are created between the keyframes that are needed to create the illusion of movement.






11. A program that can work independently of a browser to play audio or video files.






12. Refers to the way our eyes retain images for a split second longer than they actually appear - making a series of quick flashes appear as one continuous picture.






13. A hardware or software application that adds a specific feature to a browser.






14. The standard format for sound files on Windows-based computers.






15. Used to store frequently used graphics - movie clips - and buttons.






16. Also called vector animation. An bject follows a path which is a line - or vector - inserted by the animator






17. Also called mouseovers. When the mouse is moved over an image - it changes to a different image so quickly that it looks as if the change has occurred in a single instant. They are created in scripting languages.






18. The amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given amount of time.






19. Capture techniques can be used to animate objects.






20. Shows where the key (most important) actions occur.






21. Also called vector animation. An bject follows a path which is a line - or vector - inserted by the animator






22. Requires knowledge of a programming or scripting language. Created by using scripting languages such as Javascript.






23. What appears to be continuous motion is actually a series of many different frames Each frame shows the same graphic with a tiny amount of position change to simulate motion.






24. A hardware or software application that adds a specific feature to a browser.






25. The part of the animation program window where the animator's content is composed and manipulated.
