Time-lapse filmmaking

Time-lapse filmmaking is a technique where a camera captures images at set intervals over an extended period, then compiles these images into a short video. This process accelerates the passage of time, making slow phenomena—like a sunset, blooming flower, or busy city traffic—appear to happen quickly. It’s a valuable tool for visualizing change over time in an engaging way, often used in documentaries, art projects, and scientific studies. Proper planning and stable equipment are essential to ensure consistent framing and smooth playback, achieving an impactful representation of gradual processes.
