Time-lapse video shows boy’s selfie over 7 years (Video)

WASHINGTON — Hugo Cornellier started taking selfies when he was 12 and became obsessed with the idea. He’s now put together a time-lapse video that shows how he’s changed over seven years.

The 1 minute, 34 second video features almost 3,000 selfies.

He took his laptop everywhere his family went to document himself, The Daily Mail reports.

“It all started because my dad bought a time-lapse camera. I’d seen similar videos but I realized no one had done it to document their teenage years. And I thought, ‘I want to create one,”‘ he told the MailOnline.

The video has been seen more than 4.8 million times.
