Time Lapse

time lapse

Time lapse is where you get a camera for a certain time and set it to go off and take a picture every few few seconds - the time can change, but is usually the same time to take the pictures for the entire animation - like every five seconds for instance. Then when you play it back, the still images will look like they are moving - but you will have made something that takkes usually a long time to happen, take place in the animation in just a few seconds.

here is a example. This kind of time lapse animation is called Speed Drawing.
