CHAPTER 05: ANIMATION


Part 1: Key Team Quiz

1. An object seen by the human eye remains chemically mapped on the retina for a brief time
after viewing. This phenomenon is called _______________.
2. The human mind needs to conceptually complete a perceived action. This phenomenon is
called _______________.
3. To make an object travel across the screen while it changes its shape, just change the shape
and also move or _______________ it a few pixels for each frame.
4. The animation technique made famous by Disney involves showing a different image for each
frame. This technique is called __cel animation_____________ animation.
5. The first and last frames of an action are called ___key frames____________.
6. The series of frames in between the first and last frames in an action are drawn in a process
called ___tweening____________.
7. In computer animation terminology, _ink______________ usually refers to special methods
that allow images to blend or otherwise mix their colors to produce special transparencies,
inversions, and effects.
8. The study of the movement and motion of structures that have joints is called
__kinematics_____________.
9. The effect in which one image transforms into another is known as
_morphing______________.

Part 2: Multiple Choice


1. Most authoring packages include visual effects such as:
a. panning, zooming, and tilting
b. wipes, fades, zooms, and dissolves
c. morphing
d. tweening
e. inverse kinematics
2. The term cel derives from:
a. the concept of each action in a sequence being a separate element or “cell”
b. the fact that the inks used in early animations were based on extracts from celery plants
c. an abbreviation of the phrase “composite element”
d. the fact that the first animations were the work of communist dissidents who were organized
into cells
e. the clear celluloid sheets that were used for drawing each frame
3. Which of these is not a reason why animation is perceived as motion?
a. An image remains in the eye chemically for a brief time after viewing.
b. Our mind tries to “connect the dots” by completing perceived actions.
c. The use of darker colors for moving objects is interpreted by the mind as motion.
d. A sequence of images is read as continuous motion.
e. All of the above are valid reasons.

Part 3: Discussion Question


3.1. Locate a GIF animation at any web site. (Go to Google and do an image search using the
term “animated GIF.” You may get as many as 2,000,000,000 hits!) Save the file of your choice
to your computer’s hard drive. Using website https://ezgif.com/, upload and open the file. Save
the individual frames as separate files and print them out.

3.2. You need to create a simple animation of an animated logo. The logo depicts a planet
orbiting the sun. Describe the motion in a storyboard. List the points in the action that would
make good keyframes, and explain why. How would you need to manipulate the planet to make
its motion look natural?

3.3. Discuss where and how you might use animation in one of the following projects.
Becreative. Where would animation be appropriate? Where would it be distracting? How could it
best be used to visually illustrate a concept?
