What is the problem that needs to be solved for this assignment? <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Create an animation about something that has happened in our lives in two or more minutes.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">5. Spend three days investigating all of the above sites. What did you learn about each of the sites: <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">STYKZ: <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">GoAnimate: <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We noticed that it was unrealistic with an incredible little amount of options and absolutely no emotion. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Dvolver:<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;"> We noticed that there were more options than GoAnimate, but it was the same idea. However, we want something more realistic. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Blender: <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">PHUN:<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">It was definitaly interesting but it might be hard to do our little thing on it. In the program the ability to make a lifelike animation that is phesable to do within the time limit would be very challanging. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Anime Studio:<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">It was weird. We can't figure out how to make an animation with it. Well that basically sums it up.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">6. How did you decide which platform(s) you were going to use? <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We based it on what we personally liked best,and would be more accurate to the design we wanted. === <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">7. What MYP grade do you deserve for this section? === <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">6

=== <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">Do you understand the problem and its importance to your life? <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">6  === === <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">5/6 - I completely explained the problem and considered its importance to my life. === === <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">3/4 - I mostly described the problem and considered its importance to my life. ===

<span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">1/2 - I only stated the problem.
=== <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">0 - I did not state the problem or consider its importance to my life. ===

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">8. Do you ever use or see animation in your life? Explain <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Yes, for television shows and movies. Also, in some books. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">9. How can animation be used to tell a real story? <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">It can communicate what really happened with some additions. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">10. Explain how animation environments can be positive and negative in your life: <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Positive because it can help us see how the world is in a new perspective. Negative because they may become addicting to some people. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">11. How can virtual environments represent real environments? (Write a complete paragraph!) <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">A virtual environment can represent the real environments by making something like popularity a big part of the game, to show that a real environment can have an obsession with popularity. It can also show that money is needed to have a fabulous life. An example of this would be Club Penguin. To have many cool thing for you penguin, you have to pay for a membership. Also, you have to play games to get coins to buy the cool stuff for your penguin as well. === <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">12.

People can relate to falling and it isn't violent but its still funny. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">15.
