Bored? Make Any YouTube Video Into 'The Artist' with 'The Artistifier'
by Andy NeuenschwanderIt's hard to be bored nowadays with the Internet spitting out stuff like "The Artistifier."
This new website, released just in time to take advantage of the success of "The Artist" at the Oscars, will take any YouTube video and turn it into an artsy, black and white silent film, just like "The Artist."
Keyboard Cat becomes a tortured pianist playing a lamenting theme. The trailer for "Inception" becomes an old-timey comedy set to ragtime music. That video you uploaded of your dog twitching in his sleep becomes an Oscar-worthy short film.
You can check out any of the pre-made videos at The Artistifier, or enter in the URL of your favorite YouTube video and get to work. You can even add your own caption cards for custom dialogue. So if you ever wanted to make the characters in the "Twilight" trailer talk about bacon (or something equally silly), here's your chance.
So the next time boredom grips you, go ahead and make yourself an Oscar-winning masterpiece. Who knows, you might get to spend some time with Angelina Jolie's leg.
