C Correct answer
Explanation

Compositing is the technique of combining live-action footage with computer-generated imagery (CGI) to create a seamless and realistic visual effect.

Multiple choice

What is the technique used to create the illusion of movement in animated characters?

  1. Keyframing

  2. Motion Capture

  3. Rotoscoping

  4. Lip-Syncing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Keyframing is the technique used to create the illusion of movement in animated characters. Animators create keyframes, which are specific poses or positions of the character at different points in time. The software then interpolates the movement between these keyframes to create a smooth animation.

Multiple choice

What is the term used for the technique of creating realistic simulations of natural phenomena like fire, water, and explosions?

  1. Motion Capture

  2. Compositing

  3. Dynamic Simulation

  4. Rotoscoping
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Dynamic Simulation is the technique of creating realistic simulations of natural phenomena like fire, water, and explosions. It uses computer simulations to generate realistic movements and interactions of these elements.

  1. Motion Capture

  2. Rotoscoping

  3. Facial Animation

  4. Keyframing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Facial Animation is the technique used to create realistic facial expressions and movements for animated characters. Animators use specialized software to manipulate the facial features of the characters to create a wide range of emotions and expressions.
