DEADLINE 29TH MAY

I plan to have this all done by the 27th.

This made me think about how to actually format my final moving image, I have never really made a dvd of specific moving image so I had no idea of what resolution to make my animation what frame rate what aspect ratio nothing really, all I was learning was how to make the animation, not how to physically produce it.

So I did some research so that I don't have to leave it to the last minute. I used videohelp to find what I needed to know.
