Create a "deepdream" video.fx #184

Open mgaitan opened 9 years ago

mgaitan commented 9 years ago

Few days ago, Google published a blog post and a related code (in python) describing a technique to use neural networks to do the opposite of what they are frequently used for: instead to classify a given image, use the information the network has about a classifier and a seed (potentially just noise) to create a new image. a truly artificial dream!

the "deepdream" turns a trending topic around the "nerd" social web, because it's really fun. A very active community arose in reddit and there are people extending the concept to related fields, like video (python implementation)

As Moviepy is the standard-bearer library for python geeks who like to play (for fun and profit) with video, and already has all the helpers needed to "apply" the algorithm, would be great to adapt those codes to create an easy to use video fx function.

Definitely. I have been wanting to do that in the last two weeks but I really haven't had the time. And I crashed my ubuntu windows manager trying to install nvidia drivers to cuda-accelerate the DeepDreaming. But yes it would do nicely with MoviePy! (maybe not as something part of the library, more as a tutorial+example kind of blog post).
