Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    How many pictures in a second for a pro stop motion?

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      75

    • C.

      112

    • D.

      24

    • E.

      55

    Correct Answer
    D. 24
    Explanation
    A pro stop motion typically consists of 24 pictures in a second. This means that for every second of the stop motion, 24 individual pictures are taken and played in quick succession to create the illusion of movement. This is a common frame rate used in film and animation to achieve smooth and realistic motion.

    How does a stop motion work?

    • A.

      You take a video and walk slowly

    • B.

      You take photos and edit them

    • C.

      Slideshow

    • D.

      You take photos and put them together

    • E.

      You walk slowly around a park and take memory pictures

    Correct Answer
    D. You take photos and put them together
    Explanation
    Stop motion animation is a technique where a series of photographs are taken, with each photo slightly different from the previous one. When these photos are played in quick succession, it creates the illusion of movement. This process involves taking individual photos and then putting them together to form a sequence. The correct answer, "You take photos and put them together," accurately describes the process of creating a stop motion animation.

    A good stop motion should...

    • A.

      Look like a movie

    • B.

      Have pictures of you in it

    • C.

      Have music

    • D.

      Be creative

    • E.

      Be fast

    Correct Answer
    A. Look like a movie
    Explanation
    A good stop motion should look like a movie because stop motion is a form of animation that aims to create the illusion of movement by capturing individual frames of an object or character and then playing them in sequence. To achieve a cinematic quality, the stop motion should have smooth transitions between frames, realistic movements, and a cohesive visual style that resembles the aesthetics of a movie. This includes proper lighting, camera angles, and attention to detail in order to create a visually appealing and immersive experience for the viewer.

    Which is not true?

    • A.

      Clay figures are often used in stop motion

    • B.

      Stop motion has a long history in film

    • C.

      Stop motion has been used in videos for decades

    • D.

      Stop motion is a technique to to make an object appear to move on its own

    • E.

      Wallace and Gromit is a stop motion

    Correct Answer
    C. Stop motion has been used in videos for decades
    Explanation
    The statement "Stop motion has been used in videos for decades" is not true because stop motion has been primarily used in film, not videos, for several decades. While stop motion techniques have been used in some videos, it is not a common or widespread practice in the video industry.

    The first stop motion was invented by...

    • A.

      Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton

    • B.

      Neil Armstrong

    • C.

      Nelson Mandela

    • D.

      Eliot Noyes Jr.

    • E.

      Marc Paul Chinoy

    Correct Answer
    A. Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton
    Explanation
    Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton are credited with inventing the first stop motion technique. Stop motion is a filmmaking technique where objects are physically manipulated and photographed one frame at a time to create the illusion of movement when the frames are played in sequence. Smith and Blackton experimented with this technique in their 1897 film "The Humpty Dumpty Circus," which featured a toy circus coming to life through stop motion animation. Their innovative use of this technique paved the way for future developments in animation and filmmaking.

    Stop Motion is also known as...

    • A.

      Video

    • B.

      Movie

    • C.

      Pictures

    • D.

      Frame by frame

    • E.

      Cell Animation

    Correct Answer
    D. Frame by frame
    Explanation
    Stop Motion is a technique used in animation where objects are physically manipulated and photographed one frame at a time to create the illusion of movement. This process involves moving the objects slightly between each frame and capturing them with a camera. The term "frame by frame" accurately describes this method as it emphasizes the meticulous and time-consuming process of capturing individual frames to create a smooth animation sequence. Therefore, "Frame by frame" is the correct answer for the given question.

      Quaq Quao

    • D.

      The Fuzzy Felt Moomins

    • E.

      Pogo

    Correct Answer
    A. The Humpty Dumpty Circus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The Humpty Dumpty Circus." This is the first stop motion film ever created. It was made in 1898 by Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton. The film features a circus scene with various moving figures and animals. The use of stop motion technique in this film paved the way for future advancements in animation.

    Stop motion is used...

    • A.

      For intellegence

    • B.

      In Astronomy

      In Science

    • D.

      Fortune telling

    • E.

      In paintings

    Correct Answer
    B. In Astronomy
    Explanation
    Stop motion is used in Astronomy to create animations or visualizations of celestial objects and phenomena. By capturing a series of still images and then playing them in quick succession, stop motion allows scientists and researchers to study the movement and behavior of stars, planets, galaxies, and other astronomical objects. This technique helps in understanding complex astronomical processes, such as the motion of planets in their orbits, the evolution of stars, and the formation of galaxies. Stop motion also aids in presenting astronomical concepts and discoveries to the general public in a visually engaging and informative way.

    Stop motion was first created in...

    • A.

      1898

    • E.

      1978

    Correct Answer
    A. 1898
    Explanation
    Stop motion was first created in 1898. This technique involves capturing individual frames of an object or character, moving it slightly between each frame, and then playing the frames in sequence to create the illusion of motion. The earliest known example of stop motion animation is "The Humpty Dumpty Circus" by Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton, which was released in 1898. This pioneering work laid the foundation for the development of stop motion animation as a popular and widely used technique in the film industry.

    Stop motions can also be...

    • A.

      3D

    • B.

      2D

    • C.

      Slow

    • D.

      Thick

    • E.

      Small

    Correct Answer
    A. 3D
    Explanation
    Stop motions can also be 3D because stop motion animation is a technique that involves capturing individual frames of an object or character in different positions and then playing them in sequence to create the illusion of movement. This can be done using physical objects or models in a three-dimensional space, allowing for depth and perspective in the animation.
