Animation

This one was definitely a bit of a challenge for me. I like to cook and try new things out, so I decided to make my animation based on the process of baking some muffins. They are Banana Bran Zucchini muffins (that's right, zucchini) and despite the name, the reviews were pretty good and they're mighty healthy, so I gave it a try. I must admit, there is definitely a reason the recipe site doesn't have a picture of these posted...no one would try them if they took a look at them first! That said, a few of my pictures might make you wonder why I didn't quit in the middle of the recipe. They are pretty tasty though and you surprisingly can't tell it's got a vegetable in it at all. The recipe can be found here: [] Getting the video put together was a learning experience. I tried gifup.com first, but it would only accept a few of my pictures, so I ended up landing on animoto.com, which turned out much better. However, I haven't yet figured out how to manipulate the way each picture is introduced...I added text to many of them that gets cut off with the Animoto formatting. I also noticed that the blue font on the last picture is very blurry - it viewed fine when I added the text, but for some reason it's not transferring well to the animation software (all it says is that they took 18 minutes to bake, and while you can still see a little green in them, the muffins are still tasty).
