For the next video I "optimised" my ASCII render algorithm to be multithreaded, although not entirely a thread pool. But it's now pretty fast, turning 6517 frames at 720p into #asciiart in less than 2 minutes. #WeirdScience has always been one of my favourite movies. So why not do it to!!! Oooh Yeah!!!
Except that I don't like that YouTube compression sucks out all the saturation! Uggh!
