Holy bejebus this one took forever. I actually started it in class on Wednesday and did not finish until Saturday afternoon. The assignment was to animate something with Excel to make it fun. I decided to use the highlight functionality to animate a quick shot of Pong being played.

At first I drew it all out and then copy/pasted it below itself, changing just one thing at a time. I figured I could do a screen capture of me scrolling down and animating it. Turns out that didn’t work and there was a much easier way to go about it. I ended up taking a screen shot of each frame and draggin that into iMovie. Much to my chagrin iMovie puts the Ken Burns effect on any stills you drag into it by default. No offense to Ken but that was really really obnoxious and it’s not the easiest thing to change. eventually I figured it out and from there all I had to do was upload it to youtube. Enjoy.
