Teacher Apps for Creating Time-lapse and Slow Motion Videos

May 17, 2015
We have handpicked for you today a list of some very good iPad apps that you can use with your students to create time-lapse and slow motion videos. Time-lapse is a cinematographic technique that involves compressing several photos (or frames) into a high speed video. This technique is usually used to photograph slow-changing scenes or objects (e.g cloudscapes, plans growing, crowds…etc). Stop motion is “an animation technique which makes a physically manipulated object look like it’s moving on its own”. Here is a very good article if you want to read more about time laps videos.
