Filmed over nine months, the mini-video documents a pregnancy from barely showing to baby toting. It’s Vine user Ian Padgham’s ([@origiful](https://vine.co/origiful)) modern take on the staid old tradition of the pregnancy photo. Padgham,whose day job involves making time-lapse clips on the social site for various brands, used his professional skill set to film his wife, Claire Pasquier, over the course of the nine months of her pregnancy. He captured her physical transformation in a six-second-long looping clip, shooting to frames at a time over nine months. It’s a cool homage to family, life and technology, that has become one of the most viewed Vines of all time, with more than 12 million views so far. **MORE**: [Get “Happy” With This American Sign Language Performance of Pharrell’s Hit Song](http://time.com/3174285/pharrell-happy-video-by-deaf-film-camp/) **MORE**: [Portland-Area Man Accused of Most Portlandian Crime Ever: Shoplifting With a Kilt](http://time.com/3176463/portland-oregon-kilt-theft/) Vine Took 9 Months to Make ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3181977/vine-9-months-to-make/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3181977/vine-9-months-to-make/"},"headline":"It Took 9 Months to Make This Vine","datePublished":"2014-08-26T17:42:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:47.183Z","description":"A pregnancy in six seconds","url":"https://time.com/3181977/vine-9-months-to-make/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Pregnancy","Internet","Babies","Family","Vine","Children and Families"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3181977/vine-9-months-to-make/","name":"It Took 9 Months to Make This Vine"}}]}] ```
