actor animated images

love the new animation for actors filmography pages. However, I notice many times there are certain animations that end up cutting off the actors heads. I know it's random but see here: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/11701-angelina-jolie
Do you see what I mean (you may have to refresh) but the first image sometimes appears with just body to neck and no face.

It's something I'm thinking about how to solve. The plugin just takes the image and chooses one of the four quadrants to start animating from. Sometimes, yes, it starts from and won't move much from where their head is. I can make the view port bigger but then I'm concerned it would be too big… in any case, it's a known improvement.

Hey Steve,
I made a few changes to the animation script in hopes that it won't be nearly as aggressive as to which corner is starts animating from. it's looking a lot better now.
It is still entirely possible that the odd shot has the tagged person in a weird spot that won't be the best but hopefully this fixes 80% of the cases we were noticing before. Unless we get crazy with face recognition, I think this is good enough.
