Cool. It needs some kind of averaging with nearby frames (or whatever), to avoid the constant flicker in areas of more or less solid color.

Given the movie being represented, the constant flicker is thematically more appropriate.

I have two opinions: 1) I don't think cubism transfers well into a motion picture format, 2) I think these experiments, as they are currently, attempt to merge two styles and end up with neither, and nothing novel in its place; there is little Kubrick or Picasso in the final piece.

I think it's superficial and doesn't do either source justice.

"It looks cool" is sufficient excuse for experimentation.

I kind of want someone to do the same thing with a "NON-neural network" Picasso filter, like the ones in Photoshop and similar image editing programs. I want to compare how much the neural network's understanding of Picasso's style adds to the work (I imagine it's a lot, because this looks incredible).
