1,905 Instagram pics = 1 incredible video

The Mexican band The Plastics Revolution created the first music video running on Instagram pictures! All 1,905 pics were 'instagramed' on an iPhone and put together to create this stop-motion montage. The “Invasión” love story is whimsical, and the team said they used mostly the “Amaro, Rise, X-pro II, Brannan, Nashville, and 1977″ filters to initiate that effect and convoy emotions. 

The band took a social media tool to tell a love story and with that put a new filter on the way we see videos. I am sure that The Plastics Revolutions started a trend that will be adopted by other music videos and will also find its way into the app-users' homes, giving their videos a nostalgic touch. But see for yourself, revolutionary trend or unnecessary gimmick?
