image_stack_to_movie is broken

[ambarb]

At one point, widgets were broken in jupytherhub, but now we are conda env associated with 2018-3. This function looks to be very broken at this point.

ValueError: Invalid file object: <_io.BufferedReader name=65> is the Exception, but I tried with just 10 images that were just a portion of the FastCCD image, so the problem is not with the input array.

Also not there are some requested enhancements for usability: #57

image_stack_to_movie(sub_images[0:10], vmin=np.percentile(sub_images[1],30), vmax=np.percentile(sub_images[1],90))

#62 is the original issue so I am closing this.
