Timelapse
June 15, 2011
Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that which will be used to play the sequence back.
When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, in this case an image of a scene is captured once every second, and then played back at 30 frames per second; the result is an apparent increase of speed by 30 times. Time-lapse photography can be considered to be the opposite of high speed photography.
Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, such as the motion of the sun and stars in the sky, become very pronounced. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of under-cranking, and can be confused with stop motion animation.
