+In this paper, we propose a solution to transform a video into a comics. We approach this task using a
+neural style algorithm based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Several recent works in
+the field of Neural Style Transfer showed that producing an image in the style of another image is
+feasible. In this paper, we build up on these works and extend the existing set of style transfer use
+cases with a working application of video comixification. To that end, we train an end-to-end solution
+that transforms input video into a comics in two stages. In the first stage, we propose a state-of-the-art
+keyframes extraction algorithm that selects a subset of frames from the video to provide the most
+comprehensive video context and we filter those frames using image aesthetic estimation engine. In
+the second stage, the style of selected keyframes is transferred into a comics. To provide the most
+aesthetically compelling results, we selected the most state-of-the art style transfer solution and based
+on that implement our own ComixGAN framework. The final contribution of our work is a Web-based
+working application of video comixification available at http://comixify.ii.pw.edu.pl
