Rewrite Step 3 to only generate missing GIF/MP4 files #131

I had an issue where 8K into a 10K run, I ran out of disk space. I was able to just re-run step 3, but it erased everything that had been completed and started over from scratch.

It would be great if the program allowed me to pick up where I left off. This would also potentially allow me to run step 3 as a separate process while Step 2 was running, allowing me to to speed up everything.

@jimsabo @reesepushkin huge update, I have productionized the code above, and added documentation. Should be straight forward. Now the code will generate all the JSONs at once, then regenerate from the JSON based on the START_EDITION and END_EDITION. See the latest code and README: https://github.com/jalagar/animated-art-engine#generate-entire-collection-in-parts
