The Excitement of Digital Technologies

In DTE / Digital Technologies I have been doing various activities involving different digital aspects including making DLO's, piktocharts & playing games about cyber safety.

The first activity I did was make an infographic about ergonomics, here is mine:

The second activity I did was play a game called interland, here is the description I put on my site:

Here is a link to interland: https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en_us/interland/

The third and most recent activity I did was on doing activities from a site called Digital Bytes:

To understand the task click this LINK then look through the site starting by clicking 'Creator' then clicking 'Is a remixed idea an original idea?' then look at the video and the three questions my answer to one is below:

Link to video

What part of this video struck you the most? Why?

The sueing part! I don’t want to get sued.

Next click continue, scroll down and watch video B Then you can look at the questions my answers below:

Link to video

1. If you had to sum up your initial reaction in one word after watching this video,what would it be?
   Why?

One word: What!!! I can’t believe you’ve done this Disney.😱

2. Are you surprised that Disney has recycled parts of old animated films for newones? Why, or why not? Does it change your opinion about Disney's creativity?

I am extremely surprised because they use so many animators. Now I wonder why Disney needs 76 main
animators.😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

3. How do you think they reused animated sequences like this? How do you think that process works? (Hint: Look up "rotoscoping" online.)

Rotoscoping, by tracing over motion picture footage so it can be used again.😏

4. How do you think the animators for Snow White (1937) would feel if they knew animators for Robin Hood (1973) copied their work?

I don't think they would care because Disney is copy & pasting every where.😶

5. Does the fact that these are traditional animations (drawn by hand versus animated on a computer) make you feel any differently about their being copied? Why, or why not?

Animating by computer is easier than if animated by hand. So do your own animating you lazy 76 animators.😤

6. Some of the dogs from Lady and the Tramp are featured briefly in 101 Dalmatians. Do you think these cameos are a form of copying? Or is Disney simply referencing its characters and movies again for fun? Is there a difference?

No I do not think it is copying I think it is just a reference to the lady and the tramp. There is a difference between referencing and copying.😑

Then I did activity B which is this:

In my opinion this was a lot of work but really fun and so worth it.
