True or false: You have to manually make each frame in 3D animation
What is false?
The 3 parts of rigging
What is Skeletons, Skinning, and Controls?
A common mistake while filling in the frames in 2D animation

DAILY DOUBLE!
Celluloid film, or Cels were invented in this year.
What is 1888?
In the principle of animation, "Straight ahead vs pose to pose", straight ahead is typically used for what 2 things?
What is visual effects and overlapping action/follow through?
True or false: 2D animation can be done with 3D rigs.
What is true?
The part of the skeleton that is typically the parent of every other bone
What is the hips?
The recent tactics that 3D animation has been implementing into movies
What is stylization?
The first recent movie to bring the stylized aesthetic to light
What is "Spiderman Into the Spider-Verse (2018)"?
When doing moving on to a clean line version of drawing a character, you should be mindful of this tiny effect.
What is overlap?
True or false: Most principles of 2D animation do NOT apply to 3D.
What is false?
The reason we use controls instead of posing the skeleton
What is to make specific actions (eg. posing the hips and legs) easier to impement?
The reason(s) AI interpolation is bad
What is completely ruining the timing and ignoring several basic principles?

DAILY DOUBLE!
The difference between "Overlapping action" and "Secondary action"
What is the method they use to communicate how the action feels (Overlapping is typically various appendages, while Secondary is extra limb movements, facial expressions, etc.)?
True or false: A common framerate in 3D animation is 30 FPS
What is true?
