.org -  Part of the Internet address of many organizations or individuals that don't fit any other top-level domain (com,edu, or gov). (.org domains are usually limited to non-profit organizations.)  
.com - Part of the Internet address of many companies. It indicates that the site is commercial, as opposed toeducational or governmental. 
Animation is also one of the most important ways to show how motion in film is actually an illusion generated by the way our eyes acquire information (in discrete images) and how our brain processes it. 
There are many software applications that enable you to create animations that you can display on a computer monitor.
Stop motion animation is a simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures, or frames.
An animation key frame is a single still image in an animated sequence that occurs at an important point in that sequence; key frames are defined throughout an animated sequence, in order to define pivotal points of motion before the frames in between are drawn or otherwise created to "tween" the motion between the two key frames. One example of key frames could be an animation of a swinging baseball bat; the bat at rest would be one key frame, and the bat at the end of of its swing would be another. All other frames would be "tweened" frames
Animation starts with ind ependent pictures and puts them together to form the illusion of continuous motion.
Normally there are 12 frames per second in high production animation.

3. If you had to construct/create your own webpage from the beginning, what would you want it to be about and why?
