Behold, the first music video ever produced using nothing more than Snapchat filters.

Ingrid Michaelson subjects her face to a dizzying array of transformations in the video for "Hell No," a catchy paean to defiantly blowing off those who mistreat us. All the greatest hits you love are here, from puke rainbows to big nose face to painted lion face.

Michaelson assembled the video over a four-week period, collecting Snapchat lens-enhanced clips and cutting them together with help from editor Dylan Steinberg, and producers Cason Cooley and Katie Herzig. "Hell No" is the first song off of Michaelson's upcoming seventh studio album.

UPDATED May 1, 8:19 p.m. ET An earlier version of this post credited Michaelson alone for assembling the video. The text has since been updated to reflect the team effort involved in bringing "Hell No" together.
