Multiple choice

Which animation technique is often used to bypass censorship restrictions?

  1. Rotoscoping

  2. Cel animation

  3. Computer-generated imagery (CGI)

  4. Stop-motion animation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Rotoscoping, which involves tracing over live-action footage, is often used to create animated content that can evade censorship restrictions due to its realistic appearance.
