  2. 2D animation

  3. Stop-motion animation

  4. Motion capture
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

3D animation is a computer-generated animation technique that creates realistic images by simulating the movement of objects in three dimensions.

Multiple choice

What is the name of the stop-motion animation technique that uses clay figures?

  1. Claymation

  2. Puppet animation

  3. Pixilation

  4. Motion capture
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Claymation is a stop-motion animation technique that uses clay figures. It is a labor-intensive process, as each frame of animation requires the clay figures to be moved slightly and photographed.

Multiple choice
