Watch Hillary Clinton age 50 years in just over a minute

Does the age of a presidential candidate matter? (Remember: Ronald Reagan was just 17 days shy of his 70th birthday when he became president of the United States.)

If Hillary Clinton were to win in 2016, at 69 years and 86 days old, she would be the second oldest president in American history.

The stark reality of Clinton's age is quite evident in a new video, "Hillary Through The Years," just posted on YouTube.

The video, from "Calculating Clinton," a D.C.-based group, starts with photos of Hillary from her high school years and morphs from image to image every few seconds, until we reach today.

"Watch Hillary through the years," from high school to present day:

TheBlaze contacted Calculating Clinton for background information on the video and its creators.

While we do not know specifics about the people who made the video, they did tell us; "There are three of us who are all young professionals. We have no money behind us. We are interested in creating content that is unusual and different to reach people with specific messages. Typical blaring political ads tend to wash over people these days and get tuned out."

"Our philosophy is to break through the noise using an approach that is unique, somewhat quirky and memorable."

When asked about future videos, the trio replied, " We have some other video concepts in mind. All will revolve around numbers (hence the Calculating Clinton brand). The tone will vary as we will be experimenting with different styles. We approach political ads like art and enjoy having the freedom to experiment."

We wondered if the video triggered any complaints from the Clintons or their supporters?  The group replied, "No heat to date. Lots of positive comments."

Comparing the montage to other videos showing how quickly past presidents have aged during their time in office, the video makers told TheBlaze, "This video is no different and really humanizes the arch of Hillary Clinton over the time she has been in politics."
