Investigate different options for animation of images
Closed, ResolvedPublicSpike

Description

Current tool version is using a Ken Burns implementation, but it doesn't always produce the best results (i.e., sometimes large images are very pixelated on zoom-in, irrelevant parts of the image are zoomed into, head cutoff problem on people/animals, etc.)

  1. Investigate options for different ways to visualize a somewhat unpredictable image stream (some ideas from Design are here: https://www.figma.com/proto/o7idnBrc4TOqWGab88zEh4/Sprinthackular-Group-D?node-id=273-12719&node-type=FRAME&t=zyneyW5Q5lnqjiXD-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed&page-id=270%3A7987&starting-point-node-id=270%3A12709&show-proto-sidebar=1)
  2. Generate video previews for the highlighted enwiki DYKs here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_6R0z4MQqWTWZL3jZYGV_SEUuwzukbewlhuTf39Khss/edit?gid=616783496#gid=616783496) with the 1-2 most promising alternatives to Ken Burns and take a first pass at assessment to see whether this is better or worse than Ken Burns.
  3. Pass off to @Maryana for final assessment

Goal:
Aiming for ~75% of topics to produce acceptable video

Found a Ken Burns improvement but might make render time slower but that's probably okay. Couple days of work to implement this approach.

@Maryana I think I need access to the linked google doc on this ticket

Make a dev endpoint to deploy these changes

Ping @Maryana & Lucas on Slack when ready to get feedback

@Maryana checking in on point 2 from this ticket: I did check out the videos mentioned in that doc. Is part of the expectation of this ticket that those videos are downloaded and stored somewhere? Want to be sure I'm not jumping the gun calling this ticket "in review"!
