How to install Raspian on a Raspberry Pi: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+you+install+raspian+on+a+raspberry+pi+3+B%2B&oq=how+do+you+install+raspian+on+a+raspberry+pi+3+B%2B&aqs=chrome..69i57.15877j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_5n6DXbSnGs_l_QbkhJGICA22

SUMMARY OF THE PROCEDURE:
1. Format a micro SD card using FAT32.
2. Format the card using the normal formatter used to install Raspian.
3. Download Raspian from raspberrypi.org onto the micro SD card.
4. Install Raspian onto your Raspberry pi.
5. Install the Omxplayer-wrapper.
A. Open a terminal and type "sudo python3 -m pip install omxplayer-wrapper"
6. Download the python script from github: https://github.com/scarethetots/living_portrait_player/blob/master/living_portrait_player.py
Here is the actual code if you cannot get to that site for some reason:

files = sys.argv[1]
slength = '1440'
swidth = '900'
print("Starting up....")
tgr = 0
try:
VIDEO_PATH = Path(files)
player = OMXPlayer(VIDEO_PATH, args=['--no-osd', '--loop', '--win', '0 0 {0} {1}'.format(slength, swidth)])
pir = MotionSensor(4)
sleep(1)
print("Ready to trigger")
while True:
player.pause()
if pir.motion_detected:
print("trigger count {}".format(tgr))
player.play()
sleep(player.duration())
tgr = tgr + 1
else:
pass
player.set_position(0.0)


except KeyboardInterrupt:
player.quit()
sleep(3)
sys.exit()

7. Place the python script into a folder of your choosing.
8. Place your portrait ( I assume it was purchased from atmosfx.com) into the same folder.
9. Set up all the hardware as instructed in my video.
10. Run the script by opening a terminal, navigating to the folder containing the script and typing: python3 living_portrait_player.py filename.
11. Adjust the dimensions of your portrait to match your monitor's settings.
12. Decorate the hardware to your liking.
13. Make sure to give
