Week 13 Lecture Questions & Answers

2) Timing & Motion
Luxo pushes the ball away with the its lampshade head. As it can easily do this, it demonstrates that the lamp is heavier than the ball. Luxo can push the ball away at a fast speed displaying both weight and motion.
3) Anticipation
Before Luxo Jr. jumps the lamp body folds up, preparing to spring.
4) Staging
The staging of this film is extremely stark. There is only the wooden floor, the outlet that both lamps are plugged into, and first the little ball, and then the large ball.
5) Follow Through & Overlapping Action
When the ball rolls back to Luxo, it pauses to look down, as if to verify that what has happened has actually happened. This sets up the motion of the lamp-head to roll the ball back away.
6) Straight Ahead Action & Pose-to-Pose Action
Only Pixar knows what method they used to achieve these results.
7) Slow In & Out
The movement of the lamps in the scene is detailed and smooth.
8) Arcs
The animation in Luxo Jr. displays virtual movement that is consistent with natural models. (Barring lights that jump up and down, that doesn’t happen in the physical real-world.)
9) Exaggeration
When Luxo Jr. flattens the ball it provides an exaggeration of when it was bouncing on the ball.
10) Secondary Action
As both lamp characters are staged in a dark room, every time they move their lamp heads it changes the lighting effects in the room.
11) Appeal
The scene is indicative of a parent/child relationship involving play. This is often seen as cute and appealing.
