First ever music video entirely using Instagram pictures

The music video of “Invasión” by a Mexican band The Plastics Revolution is the first ever music video filmed entirely using Instagram pictures.

"This is the very first music video done entirely on Instagram without any third party alterations. Every single frame of this music video is an actual picture that we ran through Instagram. We never shot any video. We only shot still photography," the band says.

Speaking to Petapixel, Arturo Perez Jr, who realized the music video, explained that all the pictures were not taken with an iPhone but a camera. He says: "We processed all 1905 photos through the Instagram app on an iPhone 4S. However, we used the Canon 7D to shoot the still photography."

"As you know the Canon 7D can shoots about 8 frames per second on continuous shooting mode. We shot over 45,000 pictures in all. Then during the edit we condense it down to 1905 pictures," Perez continued.

According to the director, the editing of the video took approximately five months. "We made a conscious decision to stay true to Instagram, as no other music video had done that before," the director said, before adding "We didn’t use any third-party software or gimmicks we were pure Instagram."
