Creative endeavor of the day: Matthew Perren lip-syncs Queen


Creativity, dedication and temerity.  Three words for this video project by Matthew Perren.

Every day for about three years,  Matthew took two photos of himself, making sure to shape his mouth in-sync to the lyrics of Queen's upbeat song, "Don't Stop Me Now."

He eventually put all 1,101 days worth of photos together into one video, and that video shows him singing the song as he ages from 15 to 18. Then at 0:55, he continues singing as he ages backwards from a young man to a young teen again. I love creative minds!

The Daily Dot
quotes Perren regarding his technique:

“I made a very simple lip sync animation for the song, and adjusted the frame rate to determine how long I’d have to take pictures for… Then everyday I’ve taken two pictures [one for the start and one for the end of the video] and they gradually make their way towards the middle of the video.”
