A small animation i made with my girlfrierd after having watched the last episode of The Mandalorian.
Masks made in illustrator, animation made in python3.



# if you want to run or reuse some parts of the code: 
- first of all, u need these three useful dudes
1
$ pip3 install pygame
$ pip3 install opencv-python
$ pip3 install moviepy

- once u got these three requirements
--first launch this (you need pygame for this)

$ python3 animate.py
 
   this will create a frame sequence in "snaps" directory
   the hard job is pretty much done entirely here:
   -blit
   -alphas
   -transitions
   each image can be converted in a pygame sprite, so we also can use 
   pygame as a very rude real time animation driver

   please note that we can choose to obtain an effect by playin on three different levels
   1: real time effects: effect must be pretty light, in order to be processed in 
      your frame rate window
   2: post production: since the output is a list of frames, you can always process the images 
      one by one in a second time
   3: you can also run the pygame movie in simulated (or even distorted) time. just change the clock value
      assigment to a fictious clock     

--then launch this (you need opencv and moviepy for this)

$ python3 generate.py

  this is merely a snaps2video subroutine. we generate a mute movie with opencv
  (maybe vwe can cut out opencv from this pipe, once and if i get better with moviepy)
  then we join a soundtrack with moviepy

may the force be with you
