Automatised post-processing of video using image compression algorithm glitches.
Lorn, Acid Rain
Bhad Bhabie, I got it
For jpg codec, the process is recompressing each frame with 1% less quality than previous compression. In the videos above, we start at 40% and gradually decrease the quality to 1%.
For gif codec, it is much more straight-forward, as we do the process in one pass, specifying the number of colors in the palette.
