A video of me walking, converted to C64 Multicolor bitmap compatible* graphics.

The following restrictions are applied:
- C64 multicolor bitmap resolution of 160x200
- the pixel aspect ratio of 2:1
- a tile is 4x8 pixels
- maximum of 4 colors per tile (4x8 pixels)
- one of the 4 colors is the background, shared by the whole screen, and is also reflected as the border
- the shared color can change every frame (although it doesn't do it every frame)

The following restrictions are NOT applied:
- I don't know how many unique tiles the C64 can show in one frame, and I don't even know if it supports bankswitching with a ROM cartridge, so I just ignored the limitaiton completely
- I did not check, but maybe we can use sprites to add some extra colors in some parts? but that's not implemented anyway.
- The bitmap part of the screen may not be in the right aspect ratio. I don't know. Sorry.

With all this said, the disclaimer: this probably won't run on real hardware. There are just too many obstacles we need to pass to make that happen. There's the CPU speed, graphics access speed, RAM size, storage size... This was made to just "simulate" how a video would look like if we were to apply the restrictions as written above.
