Math Awareness Month-Week 2
April 11, 2011
If you check out www.weusemath.org there is a list of math related jobs. I noticed that an animator was listed. How does an animator use math? I had the same question.
1. List the mathematics courses that are required for animators today.
2. An animator averages 100 frames per week, which are enough slides to produce 4 seconds of screen time. If twenty animators created a 90-minute film, how many weeks would it take to finish?
