Animators
Animators do this to get inspired, and to add creativity and variety to their animations.
What is watching other animators' work?
In order to create a hand drawn animation, animators had to do this technique.
What is hand drawing the scenes separately frame by frame?
This is the process used for the creation of every stop motion animation.
What is moving the object, taking a photo, repeating and playing the photos in order.
3D animation differs from hand drawn animations due to the fact that they have this specific characteristic.
What is being able to see the character from all angles instead of just a flat character?
In order to show off their skills and past work, an animator should make one of these.
What is a showreel?
Classic hand drawn animators often did this to understand facial movements and expressions.
What is using their own bodies as reference? (Often with a mirror)
This animation style involves animating things that are not drawn, not fully flexible, and not built to look exactly like a person or animal.
What is object animation?
After the original model is made, these will be added to give the character more depth and realism.
What are finalized details?
Animators should bring things to life by using these to create the illusion of movement.
What are inanimate objects?
In hand drawn animations, these are created first to set the major actions in the animation.
What are keyframes?
What is puppet animation?
This is a 3D model that allows the digital puppet to be animated and to move.
What is a rig?
Due to the fact that animations require a lot of work and collaboration, animators need to be successful at this.
What is teamwork?
A second step in hand drawn animations is to add these to define the path of action.
What are breakdowns?
This form of stop motion animation involves incorporating live actors into the frames.
What is pixilation?
Unlike other forms of animation, 3D animation involves the use of this to create the characters.
What is a 3D computer software?
A typical animation usually has around this many FPS (frames per second).
What is 24 frames per second?
These are added to animations to make the transitions between frames really smooth.
What are in-betweens?
This phenomena allows animators to use almost any object for their animations with the viewers still seeing humanistic characteristics.
What is facial recognition?
These are added onto the 3D characters to allow the animator to move the character, especially at joints.
What are points of movement?
