All the steps needed to create deep dream animations on EC2

I didn't write any of the Python code you are complaining about. The install steps do use environment variables (and in fact set some in the bashrc). The install steps are not a script for reasons I gave in other comments in this thread (reboots, remote dependencies). You mention elsewhere that the effect includes JPEG artifacts if you use JPEG as your intermediate state. That is unfortunate, so I have added a links to other Python scripts for making movies so more variation is available.

I started this because none of the instructions I could find actually worked or had prominent enough links into the original BVLC source and Wiki. And why I did not submit to somebody else's Github or Wiki- mostly so I wouldn't have to beg to have pull accepted or a Wiki edit not reverted.

I apologize if you felt I was picking on you personally however I was in the same position as you. Nothing out there works. Now including your recipe.

Meanwhile the top GitHub issue for your referenced Python project (also on the HN home page is):

"Unable to run script with default arguments, get an invalid syntax exception."

I poked in to see if he'd managed to rename "avconf" to "avconv" yet.

Right below:

  print("SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTT You're running CPU man =D")

I found this:

  # this line is not tested cuz i don't have avconv :(

It's just all so gloriously half-assed. Sorry if you got caught in the cross-fire but it's hard to soar with the eagles when you're hanging out with turkeys.
