Watch Me Change Chronicles Our Growth in a Most Creepy Fashion

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

For a while I had this idea about taking a photo of myself every day for a year or two, then compiling the images into a kind of stop-motion video that showed me aging in pseudo real-time. Then I thought it might make a decent art project (or something) to do something similar, only with a baby as it grows into whatever it is babies grow into these days. It appears as though I wasn't the only person who's thought of this, which isn't exactly a surprise given the billions of people on the planet, as MJH Apps has seen fit to create a universal app that does exactly what I'd been daydreaming about.

And really, that's what Watch Me Change does. It enables users to create time-lapsed video using pictures taken from their iOS device and stringing them together. They can set how many frames-per-second, set background music and use a grid that pops up on-screen to help with more consistent framing. Stuff like this can be a little eerie to watch, but it's also pretty fascinating. Those brave enough to put themselves under the microscope can currently find Watch Me Change in the App Store for $0.99.
