Incredible Timelapse-like Aging Animation Made from Family Portraits
"The video http://vimeo.com/74033442 is equal parts mind-blowing and unsettling. Created by filmmaker Anthony Cerniello with help from a couple of animators and a photographer, it’s a timelapse-like animation that captures the process of aging in a way we’ve never seen before. Trying to show the process of aging in pictures is not a new idea. Usually it involves time-lapse photography and a willing subject — more often than not one of the photographer’s children. But Cerniello’s creation is much more fluid, gradual, and maybe even “insidious” if you’re not fond of the idea of aging."
"To create this effect, Cerniello first brought photographer Keith Sirchio to his friend Danielle’s family reunion last Thanksgiving. They took photos of just about everybody there with Sirchio’s Hasselblad, and then parsed through them to find the family members with the most similar bone structure. Those final photos were then edited to look even more like the same person at different ages, after which animators Nathan Meier and Edmund Earle and Nuke artist George Cuddy animated the still photos to “morph” them from youngest to oldest in a way that looked as lifelike as possible."
