Beast Transformation - ASCII Video

I came up with my own algorithm to convert an image to text (ASCII art - it's a thing) and then extended my code's functionality so it would automatically apply the algorithm to every frame in a given video (unlike with the colorization algorithms where I have a BufferedImage to store for each frame, this one involves repeatedly taking a screenshot of the text output window each time the new text is displayed).
I first learned about ASCII art a few years ago while working on my CS degree and I thought it was pretty cool. But it wasn't until now, having spent a couple weeks trying to create an algorithm to automatically colorize black and white images, that I remembered ASCII art and had the curiosity to see if I could make some myself.

If I make the video the size of a thumbnail its actually watchable. Its an amazing transformation. My regards to the chef.
