In this video, we see how to create a timelapse effect in Blender. I’m not just showing what buttons to push, I’m trying to show the principles behind it.
Since animation works more or less on a frame-by-frame basis we can manipulate the timing so, that we achieve a believable timelapse effect in animation.
In cinematography, a timelapse is an effect to convey to the audience that a significant amount of time has passed. By speeding up the footage or file sequence so that the normally slow action feels energetic and enjoyable.
Lately, I’ve been really enjoying these forest cabin videos for example by Erik Grankvist. That’s where the inspiration came from.
Timelapses are pretty common in movies of all sorts, from feature films to instruction videos.
However, we rarely see someone use a timelapse effect in animation, at least I don’t know of many. (Big Hero 6 has the one I know of.)
I did something similar for a client in an explainer animation. Telling the story of scientific advancements regarding a certain topic. Over time showed trial and error, but eventually, the scientists came to master the science.
