15 days of my face

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  Video    Posted date:  April 7, 2011  |  No comment


I bought and started using a new iPhone app 15 days ago—Everyday, which prompts you to take a picture of yourself each day at a pre-set time, then assembles them into a video that comes off as a time-lapsed movie of your face. I saw it recommended somewhere, maybe Gizmodo, and it sounded like a fun idea for $1.99.

Here are those first 15 days.

I realized two things watching this.

First, it speeds by pretty quickly, and probably won’t really be interesting until many months of pics have been shot. Though if 15 days runs less than two seconds, that means even a year will be under a minute.

Second, even that’s probably isn’t enough, and to make this really interesting I’d need to do something dramatic, something that would make the changing pics come more alive. Like … grow a beard. Which I just might do once I return from World Horror in Austin, so I can see how it looks.

And actually, I realized three things while watching this. Probably the only one interested in watching pics of me speed by is … me. So instead of this being a post pushing my face in your face, think of it more as an recommendation for the app so you can buy it and do it with your OWN face.
