10) Drop your exported movie in my drop box before class (it should be between 400 and 700 mb) labeled with your name and 2 and the word Static  ("Your Name" 2 Static.mov). If you don't include the "Static" I might think it is a #2 assignment for my other class, so help me keep them straight by including "Static" in the name.
