Drive Like Maria just released a music video for their song "Deep Blue." What makes this unique is that every frame has been rendered with the "Dreams" effect using the Prisma App. This app uses AI to create effects that make your images look like paintings of famous artists. It has many effect options, and it really looks as though a lot of time, knowledge, and effort has been put together to create it. It looks like Waking Life, but instead of drawing each frame by hand, Drive Like Maria has taken every frame of their music video and run it through the app.
What is great to see is that while the app uses AI, it kept the same light and color rendition of every frame. It could have actually interpreted a frame differently than the one after or before it, similar to what auto white balance or metering can do if the light changes. To see musicians using a tool like this to create a new visual experience is really impressive. And to see an app like Prisma, which is mainly used to add effects to photographs, being used for a video is something new and inspiring for photographers and members of the creative industries across the board.
Looks pretty good. Did they manually do this frame by frame or create some software to do it?
" What makes this unique is that every frame has been rendered with the "Dreams" effect using the Prisma App. "
Yes but did a human do this frame by frame or did they make a batch of some kind
You do not now prisma ?
You can make 10 sec video ... so they make it like scene by scene and then combine it in some software.
Hello Lee, according to the fan who shared the video with me, the band and production house (Bert Albers - http://www.sixteenbynine.net) did the editing process manually. They exported the frames to single stills/frames then lowered the frame rate to 10 fps. They then edited the indivdual frames in the Prisma app, to be saved and exported, and then again imported to video.
Yeah - did they have to run this through Instagram?
Why not create this for After Effects and PS??
Hi Mike, the Prisma App does not need to run through Instagram to have an exportable frame. It needs to go through the Prisma app only, which in itself is quite a task. They lowered the frame rate to 10fps.
I see that you can export direct from Prisma - but everything is square 1080x1080?
How can you get a 1920x1080 export?
If anyone would like to do this without all the wait....
Bounce the video out as a sequence, then create a photoshop action to make the prisma effect buy using oil paint and and artistic cutout, then just batch your sequence in PS
I tried all kinds of PS combinations to get a "Dreams" effect....
I get close but nothing I can do in PS looks as cool.....
The oil paint filter is key after cut out. If you don't see it here is a link on why:

Personally tired of phone apps, plugins, filter packs etc. doing creative things, making everyone an "artist/photographer/videographer"
While I generally agree with you (I've hated Instagram from it's inception), there are always exceptions to the rule. I find this project to be one of them.
Band is so good that I'd preferred to watch them without the effect. Prisma app is nice but content is key.
