Time Lapse Animation

Time Lapse Animation is a series of lots of images taken of a subject over a length of time, and then the images are all played one right after another. The results then look like a sped up recording of something that has been film. Time Lapse Animation is used to show the sun rising and setting in the sky, also it is sometimes used to show a room filling up over a couple of hours, and even to see the progress of a growing plant.

To do a time-lapse animation, a camera is set up in a place where it will not get moved and keep the same thing in the frame. The camera is then put on a setting so that it takes a photograph every so often.

Here is a Time Lapse Animation, It is a bowl of fruit that was left for 74 day. The camera was set to take a picture every 40 minutes, and is played back at 30 frames per seconds.
