Making a move with xtranormal.com

Xtranormal.com is another website I never would have found out about if it was not for the CIS class I am currently enrolled in at Appalachian State University.  In theory it is supposed to let you choose a few settings, enter text, and animate one or two characters to make a short movie.

Unfortunately, I was not successful in being able to get a movie to render!  The first time I made it all the way through, but after two hours the movie still did not render.  I deleted my account and created a new one and went through the same process only for the new movie to get stuck on rendering as well!  I tried it one more time and gave up when the movie showed "your movie is currently being rendered.  Please check back in a few minutes."

I was excited to see the finished product because it showed a soccer player that was missing his jersey.  He looked for it repeatedly and then asked the viewer if he could borrow their shirt for his soccer match! 

Although I was not successful, I will continue to try because I would like to see how the finished product will turn out!
