Pillow GIF Animator: Move an Object on a Background

I've shipped a new tool, the Pillow GIF Animator. This utility is designed to generate GIF animations where a foreground image moves across a static background.

The core function of this snippet is to correctly composite each frame. It achieves this by using a fresh copy of the background for every frame. This method was implemented to address common issues like artifacting and various image loading errors that can occur when generating animations by repeatedly modifying the same image object.

For example, if you need to animate a bird flying across a landscape, this tool handles the composition to ensure a clean output. It's a focused solution for a specific animation task, built to provide a reliable method for this type of GIF creation using the Pillow library.
