"Earth Cal" |
Check the amount of CO2 emissions each day |
This epoch-making TV program united the awareness of Cyber Network Co., Ltd. towards the environmental issue and the long-term measures of ICT. In the TV program, with the cooperation of the University of Tokyo Graduate School, we developed an original CO2 calculating machine called "Earth Cal," which enables us to see at a glance both the amount of CO2 you have spent and saved. In order to record the amount of CO2 easily, we used PDA in Part 1, and a mobile phone in Part 2.
The simulation of the result!
In the city of Inagi, Tokyo, 50 families challenged for a month to slim down the amount of CO2 emissions by taking another look at their daily lifestyle.
With the cooperation of National Institute for Environmental Studies, the importance of individual's effort for the environment was clear to everyone.

The aims of making this film are to let more people and children know about the environment in which the animals at the zoo used to live in, be familiar with the issue of global warming, and the danger which wild animals are facing, and take an action for it.

Up-to-Date English for the Future Children
Another characteristic of the film production by Cyber Network Co., Ltd. is our intensity towards “representation." This animation was especially made easy enough for the children to understand.
This is an English teaching material which will be delivered to the home of preschool children for two years, and the characters of the animation also grow up gradually with the children watching.
The four characters, Mimi, Mani, Pepi, and Zizi make English fun to learn.
These four characters look as if they are two-dimensional, but they are actually made as 3DCG. We drew out the good points of both the two-dimensional animation and the 3DCG, and made the most fun anime possible so that English becomes more familiar to the children.
Enjoy the fun BGM which also makes the animation comes to life.
