Party Capture Device
We used this thing to make a bunch of gifs.
The complete auto-giffer is three small applications working together:
- A processing app looks for motion, which causes it to save out sets of frames.
- A python app looks for sets of frames and converts them into animated gifs using ImageMagick.
- A PHP webpage looks for animated gifs and displays the 64 latest images available.
To get this working on your machine, you will need to first install ImageMagick and Processing. Then run all the scripts. The python stuff was written using unix shell commands, so you’ll need to modify it to get it working on a PC. It's all super basic, has no implied fitness for a particular use and so on.
