A few weeks ago I shared how you can animate a picture of yourself in #Python. Well!!! you can also animate a video of yourself too🐍✨

#animeganv2forvideos is an open ML project that uses #PyTorch to let you do this. Here's what it looks like in my terminal. Full code below👇🏿💕

This code is based on code in the project's public collab notebook✨ I edited it to run on a cpu and to be able to use it in my terminal. Pictures are in order👩🏿‍💻

You can also have a look at the original code here github.com/nateraw/animeg…

As a final note, I found this awesome project through @huggingface's spaces🤗💕

If you don't want to write the code and just want to convert your video automatically or turn your webcam stream directly to animated video use the app here

Actually as a final, FINAL note 😂 I love that Hugging Face uses @ApacheArrow under the hood for some things!!! If anyone is interested in the lower-level stuff here's a great article about it🤗🏹🐍💕
