These are written so an HR generalist can ask them without domain expertise. You do not need to evaluate the technical answer — listen for whether the candidate reasons from something they actually did, or from something they read.

  1. 1

    Show me a walk cycle you animated. What is wrong with it now that you look again?

  2. 2

    Which animation principle do beginners get wrong most often?

  3. 3

    How do you keep a character consistent across 200 frames?
