Time-lapse movies are becoming increasingly popular. Photographers and filmmakers as well as multimedia artists are discovering this new and exciting facet of photography for themselves. Time-lapses are much more than videos that are played back faster. They are sequences of photos taken at a specific interval, edited with photographic means, and combined into great movies that we all know from nature documentaries and the Internet, among other places. Like a flower blooming and wilting within seconds, passing clouds or the transition from day to night. With time-lapses, “time” can be made fast – things that would otherwise remain hidden from the viewer can be made visible in this way.
