Time-Lapsing Into a Coma of Pure Excellence
As digital video cameras become less expensive and videos become easier to post and share, wonderful converges have developed. One of our favorite YouTube genres is time-lapse, or videos that have been filmed from long periods of time in the same place and then sped up.
Time-lapse Photography is not new; Georges Méliès used it in 1897 and it’s been in practically every nature film you’ve ever seen. But it’s fascinating to see what people come up with. The videos seem to mainly be in four categories: flowers, cityscapes, the moon, and hot-air balloons. Of course, there are many, many, variations but these groups seem to dominate.
We love the balloons. Who doesn’t love balloons? Terrorists, that’s who.
