Cool video

I watched this video called "Noah takes a photo of himself everyday for 6 years" on YouTube, this guy took a picture of himself 2356 days in a row. I bet you can guess that he's a photographer. He took the individual pictures and made them into a movie. It's set to

He doesn't move around as much as I would have expected, he must have edited the pictures so that his head is about in the same place in the frame, and he has almost the exact same facial expression in every picture, a kind of sad, languishing expression, you can catch the beginning of what might be a smile every now and then, but it goes away and your left with an even darker feeling. The video takes about 5 minutes, and the backgrounds change so quickly you can't see any of the detail. You can see hair growing and abruptly getting short again. The music adds to the overall somber mood, but if it was set to something upbeat, like Yakety Sax for example, it wouldn't have the same power.
