A U.S. filmmaker has emulated the ageing process by 'creating a person' called Danielle, who subtly changes in front of viewers' eyes from childhood into old age.

一位美国电影制片人近日模拟了一个名叫丹妮尔的女性的变老过程，观众可以观察丹妮尔从幼到老每一步的精细变化。

The five minute video was created by Anthony Cerniello and is a refinement of the 'photo-a-day' concept that was popular a few years ago.

这个五分钟的视频由安东尼-瑟尼罗制作完成，他是从几年前很流行的“每日拍一张照片”的概念中得到这个想法。

Mr Cerniello's 'Danielle' project was not shot over a lifetime, but is made up of photographs of family members of different generations who were photographed in similar conditions at roughly the same time.

瑟尼罗的“丹妮尔”项目并不是拍摄跨越一个人一生的照片，而是由家族中不同成员的照片组成。这些家人几乎同时在相似的条件下拍摄这些照片。

The video unsurprisingly starts with Danielle as a small girl and at first it is as if nothing is happening, but if viewers watch carefully they can see the ageing process effecting the girl's features very slowly.

视频不出意外地以小姑娘丹妮尔开头。一开始看着视频觉得似乎没什么变化，但如果仔细看下去，观众会看出女孩面容细微缓慢的老化过程。

It is uncanny as viewers realise the face is changing but it is hard to pinpoint exactly what is going on and if the video is paused, the image just looks like a regular photographic portrait of a moment captured in time.

不可思议的是，观众能觉察出脸部的变化，但却很难确切地描述出变化是怎么发生的。如果让视频暂停的话，图像看起来就是一张常规定格某一刻的照片而已。

The filmmaker, who usually edits commercials and music videos for bands like the Kings of Leon, said: "The idea was that something was happening but you can't see it but you can feel it, like ageing itself."

瑟尼罗作为电影制作人，经常编辑广告片或是为莱昂国王之类的乐队制作音乐录像，他说：“我的想法是每时每刻都有事发生，我们能感觉到，却不一定能看到，就像一天天地变老这件事一样。”
