• Asymco: Hollywood by the numbers. IN-DEPTH

• The Critical Path 21: Negative Costs. Dan and Horace take on the way income from movies is distributed and why no movies ever make money.
• The Critical Path 71: Bingewatch.
• The Critical Path 80: Functional Structure. What is a functional organization and why is that a thing of beauty? What do Pixar and Apple have in common? EXCELLENT
• Horace hypothesizes that apps will become the new distribution mechanism for entertainment. INSIGHTFUL

In one Critical Path episode (can't remember which), Horace posits that Hollywood is like a distributed functional organization:

Instructions for making a Neural-Style movie

The following instructions are for creating your own animations using the style transfer technique described by Gatys, Ecker, and Bethge, and implemented by Justin Johnson. To see an example of such an animation, see this video of Alice in Wonderland re-styled by 17 paintings.

Setting up the environment

The easiest way to set up the environment is to simply load Samim's a pre-built Terminal.com snap or use another cloud service like Amazon EC2. Unfortunately the g2.2xlarge GPU instances cost $0.99 per hour, and depending on parameters selected, it may take 10-15 minutes to produce a 512px-wide image, so it can cost $2-3 to generate 1 sec of video at 12fps.

If you do load the

Start a g2.2xlarge or better (GPU instance) with https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-ffba7b94

Login, username is ubuntu

Update a bunch of stuff and make sure cudnn R2 is used:

luarocks install image
luarocks install loadcaffe
luarocks install torch
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ubuntu/torch-distro/install/lib:/home/ubuntu/torch-distro/install/lib:/home/ubuntu/cudnn-6.5-linux-x64-v2-rc2
