What’s a Time-Lapse Movie? A time-lapse movie is a movie shot at a really slow frame rate which is played back at a “normal” frame rate, thus accelerating the motion tremendously to the point of revealing normally imperceptible motion, such as the movement of a plant growing. For a better definition, check out what Wikipedia has to say on the subject here. If you're looking for some examples, check out my Time-Lapse Gallery. My friend Francois also has a stunning gallery of Timelapses. If you want to get an idea of how far you can push this, here's a videoclip shot in time lapse of a drive from L.A. to New York. It was created  by Michel and Oliver Gondry, for French pop star Laquer. I’ve started making time-lapses when I realized that my digital still camera would allow me to try this without tremendous cost (such as the expense of large amounts of film) and that I could edit and view them on my computer.
