Zooming in on images that optimize the gram matrix from another image.

To setup a virtual environment with python3 and the dependencies installed, execute in a shell:
python3 -m venv venv3
source venv3/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
You can now run the main script:
python gramzoom.py --steps=660 \
--target_size=640 \
--zoom_from=10 \
--samples_per_step=7 \
--input=kittens.png \
--output=kittens.mp4
And it should create a zooming in movie:
The command line parameters shouldn't surprise anybody. steps determines how many steps to
run the script. target_size determines how big the movie will be. zoom_from is a bit more
tricky, basically this determines the number of warm-up frames before we start zooming
and saving frames. samples_per_step determines how many times we run the algorithm per
frame - more results in slower progress but higher quality frames. Then there is the input
and output.
