## What it is
A Python-based command-line tool that applies Google's DeepDream algorithm to videos by extracting frames, running a pretrained deep neural network on each frame with continuity blending, and reassembling them. It includes shell scripts for frame extraction via ffmpeg, avconv, or mplayer and GPU/CPU benchmarking guidance.

## Use cases
- apply deepdream hallucination effects to a movie clip
- create trippy deep dream videos from any video file
- process video frames with a pretrained neural network
- generate psychedelic video art with deep learning
- run deepdream on frames with temporal continuity
- benchmark deepdream processing on GPU vs CPU

## When to choose
- you want the classic DeepDream effect applied to an entire video with frame-to-frame continuity
- you have a GPU and are comfortable with older Python/Caffe-based deep learning setups
- you want a scriptable pipeline from raw video to dream-processed output

## When to avoid
- you need modern, maintained tooling with current framework support (PyTorch/TensorFlow)
- you only want to deepdream single images
- you need fast processing on CPU-only machines, as it can take days for short videos
