 * You can do really cool effects with Canvas and I am going to show you how to use a video to mask 
 * and image with it. To be honest I am not really sure this gist is really for beginners but I really 
 * wanted to do it. So if you are not comfortable with the code below, take a minute, breathe and maybe
 * start by reading the basics of Canvas. You will quickly start to notice this gist is not so difficult
 * to understand.
