One guy named Hugo is giving socialites a run for their money, after producing a clip solely from selfies, taken over a span of 8.5 years #fotomagic
Hugo is the same in every selfie – serious, eyes looking at the camera, centered and mostly alone -, whereas most selfie-addicts spend time in elevators, bathrooms and well-chosen popular cafes to take carefully studied selfies. But that’s the whole point of his project – to show how his look changed over the years. The end result is a video that highlights the way his expression matured and his hairstyle changed.
In order to achieve this result (where the body is a constant, while the background varies), he “had to edit, align and re-touch every single photo ONE-by-ONE”, adding that “it took me about a minute per photo once I got the hang of it (and there are well over 2000 photos).” That’s dedication!
Although he’s happy with the end result, Hugo is pretty hooked up on the selfie “drug” and swears this project is “on-going”: “I will never stop taking pics. Ever.” Remains to be seen how many of his followers will stay on his tracks from this point forward…
