I came up with this idea when I was really bored today. I am having trouble finding work here at home and there is literally bugger all to do here.

I've decided that I would like a nicer body for sex and that I am going to act on that for the few months I have off over summer (and beyond). Next year I am moving into student halls that are literally a stone's throw away from my department, but also the sports center and gym. So I'll be able to get an hour in here and there alongside my crazy 3rd year engineering schedule. The general concept of this idea is that I will stand in as much of the same position as I can possibly manage, each day and take a photograph of my body using a digital camera against a white background. I will then use my matlab skills to make a program that outputs an AVI of all the pictures I have taken, similar to time lapse photography.

I figured I could also use the image processing functions to align my body in the centre of each frame so that it is easier to make the animation flow smoothly. Obviously this could be done perfectly but I would need to go to a studio every day to do it and I don't have one. There's also the issue of my hair which changes every day (it's medium length, but pretty wild) so that would be flailing around like electricity in the animation.

A few people have done similar things on youtube, with their face. There's a video of a tree that goes through all four seasons in time lapse on there too.

What do you guys think? Is this boring? Stupid? Unachieveable? I am going to use it to springboard me into a routine so I am a better third year student (i.e. less complacent, healthier, better self esteem and more motivated).

Sounds like a plan, I've been thinking about doing the same sort of thing for a while now actually.

i've seen people doing this thing with muscles before but i think it'd be more interesting to see the changes in a third year engineering student.

God that's hot. Gives me motivation to continue p90x.

1 to 2 in itself is a giant leap. I'm about about a 3 right now.

also my little brother does something like this except he just takes a bunch of pictures of himself in our house and shit with his shirt off and puts them on myspace hoping little girls will jump on his shit I guess.

its really funny too because he's always got this stupid look on his face that reads "OHH YEAH OHHYEAH I'M EYE FUCKING MYSELF THROUGH THE CAMERA LENS".

to be fair though whether or not this is considered hot there is something that should be said about just generally encouraging yourself to have a healthy body and if nothing else, having a nice "bod" will give you that extra confidence you need to land your sister in law

yeh.
I know it seems kind of vain/weird, but if you look past that then I think it's a good idea. If you're working out and stuff, seeing yourself get buffer over time or w/e would be motivating. In fact, it's a good idea. I don't do that so I always have this sneaking fear that I'm actually losing weight/muscle mass. But then again, that sneaking fear just makes me think "Ahh!! I have to work out more!! Faster!! Harder!!" So nm.


also lmfao @ Coxswain's brother

Give it a shot if you want to.

Coxswain your brother is a skeleton if I ever saw one.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.
