ffmpeg-ascii takes an input video, converts it into ASCII frames, and prints them to screen.

Try it for yourself, clone this repo and yarn install or npm install.
You also need to have the ffmpeg executable installed.
If you don't have it, be sure to install ffmpeg first.
I initially started by looking at ASCII-Video as a way
to play videos in the terminal, but it is designed to pre-process all of the frames and store them
in an inefficent data format. After pulling bits of it apart I was left with asciify-pixel and
commander as dependencies.
