Basic requirements

You are going to make an animation that is at least 60 frames long. Write a function called movieFun that takes in a directory as a string. When run, this function will create at least 60 frames of your animation (as JPEG files) in the directory you passed in. These frames should be named frame01.jpg, frame02.jpg, frame03.jpg, etc unless you have more than 100 frames. If this is the case then the frames should be named frame001.jpg, frame002.jpg, etc. Each frame will be the same size and no more than 400 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. You should save this in a file named hw6.py. You are also required to use more than one function.

Something Walking

During this animation, you must have a walking animation of some sort. You will accomplish this by using sequence of predrawn images of a walking figure. Here are a few examples that you can use, but you are encouraged to find/make/photograph your own. The animation will have to walk in place and to show movement the background will scroll by. Here is some sample code to help get you started. Lastly, when copying the figure onto the background you must use chromakey.

Summary/Checkoff list
You will be graded on the following:

Your function name and file are correct
Your function takes in a directory
Your function outputs frames to that directory
Your function uses images from the media path
You use at least two functions
Your frames have an animation of a figure walking in place with the background moving
You use chromakey to copy the figure onto the canvas

Hints

Use mod with the frame number to figure out which picture to use for your walking animation
For your extra function make a generic copy function that can copy a picture onto a canvas at an arbitrary set of coordinates you pass into it
To make your animated character do something different for part of the movie, use if statements that make decisions based on the frame number.

Above and Beyond

5 points of extra creidt - Have two different walking characters move in opposite directions. (although no moon walking allowed)
2 points of extra credit - You may notice that some of the example pictures have a hideous green background. This is ideal for using chromakey. If you use chromakey while copying your images, then you will get an additional 2 points.
