Write your drawframe function below
function drawframe(f)
% Red version / bigger scales.
persistent frms % All we will be keeping is the cell array of frames because
% the whole loop will run on the first function call.
% The reason for this is that some spatially variant
% blurring will be applied to the RGB data on each
