Time Lapse

Time Lapse 

A piece of animation that is done by using the time-lapse technique is achieved by taking lots and lots of photographs ( 24 photos equals 1 sec in real time) over a long period so when they are played back in real time it alludes the human eye into seeing the object move when in reality it would only move extremely slowly, this is used to showcase subtle processes like a sun rise or a flower growing. Time Lapse has been around since the first use of it in a feature film by George Méliès, the film Carrefour De L'Opera (1897) since the invention of the camera it has been embedded into photography techniques for hundreds of years. However it say a major popularity spike when it was used successfully in the 1982 Experimental film Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio. The film achieved cult status for its cinematography style of time lapse
