Inspiration:

This year on my MOvember campaign, I wanted to capture mustache growth differently. I've seen and done the "Take a picture of myself everday" thing. It's neat, but wanted to do something different - so this is it - I set up the scanner and took 3-5 scans of my face every morning and every evening, every day of November. I wanted to capture the growth day by day and have a little fun with it by trying some scanner animation. There is NO photoshop involved, just somewhat meticulous scanning every single day.

About the scans... these are pretty hard to do. I would sometimes have to take 5-6 scans to get the positioning correct and the right facial expressions and locations of the sunglasses, razor, savior MO, etc before I was able to take my "real" scans. Also - I ended up getting a pretty major haircut during the month (had a MO shaved into the back of my head b/c my team reached a fund raising milestone), and didn't think ahead to maybe try and wear a black shirt each day, as you can see the shirts changing... oh well any day you learn something - it's a good day!

About Movember:

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) men across the globe grow a Mo (mustache). That's right - we all rock the Mo because we are passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's health issues, namely prostate cancer. We use the upper lip sweaters to raise awareness and funds which will go to organizations such as the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the LIVESTRONG Foundation.

Did you know:

* The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2010 there were 217,730 new cases of prostate cancer and 32,000 deaths from prostate cancer
* Regular screenings and early detection significantly increase odds of survival
* Cancer is the second largest killer of men in the USA
* 1/2 of all men and 1/3 of all women will get some form of cancer in their lifetime

So far the world total is over $103 Million USD! Donations close on December 8th, 2011. If you see this video before then and want to help... pass it on or donate. If you see this after, check out our teams progress... there are some funny photos too!
