Which technique is used to animate real objects?

• A. Object Animation (Technique)
• B. Drawing Animation
• C. Paper Animation
• D. Flip Cards

Answer: (A)

Animating real objects means manipulating actual items in front of the camera and photographing them frame by frame to create movement. This approach is the essence of object animation, the technique that brings tangible props—like toys, clay figures, or everyday objects—to life on screen through careful, incremental changes between frames. It’s what gives a distinct tactile feel, since you’re working with real-world objects rather than drawings or flat cutouts.

This differs from drawing animation, where each frame is drawn; from paper animation, which uses cut-out paper pieces; and from flip cards, which is a presentation method rather than capturing motion of real objects. So the best answer is object animation.
