Of the hundreds of beard time lapse videos out there I thought this one was quite effective. It’s the first part of the short film “Hairlady,” found at davidbirdsell.net.
Hairlady began as a time-lapse photography experiment. First the subject’s head and face were shaved. As hair growth proceeded, two identical digital photos were shot per day (approximately 12 hours apart) for 4 months, the subject becoming rather hairy. Finally, a video camera was mounted in place of the still camera and the resulting video footage was shot, following the subject as he goes to meet the titular Hairlady (Miriam Escovitz).
