First Prisma app music video is short and mind-blowing

I just saw the future of music videos. And it came in the form of an Instagram post transformed by the Prisma app.

Posted by musician Junk-E-Cat, the brief video shows the producer tapping out beats on an apartment deck in what looks like a scene from a strikingly rendered animated movie.

Of course, in this case, the "rendering" has been done by the Prisma app, which uses a mix of artificial intelligence and neural networks to produce imitations of art styles produced by the human hand.

Last week, we reported on an upcoming version of the app that applies its effects to video, but this is the first such example we've seen that includes sound.

However, it turns out that this isn't a preview of the app's video functionality, but rather a demonstration of ingenuity on the user's part. "I wanted to give my videos a new look," Junk-E-Cat told Mashable. "So I split the original video into frames, 799 to be precise, then edited each of them with the Prisma app."

The filter Junk-E-Cat used is Traverse Line, which is currently available on the app's photo version. As of this writing, there's still no release date set for the video platform, but this brief example of what's possible will likely excite the already passionate and growing Prisma community.
