ABSTRACT
Time-lapse photography has been practiced for decades and it never seems to grow old. This technique of stopping the camera and shooting frames at an even and given rate allows viewers to see events sped up in time. Time is often considered the fourth dimension and time-lapse steps into this arena. There are many filmmakers expanding the capabilities of time lapse and using the frame-by-frame technique as a basis for aesthetic exploration. Geoff Tompkinson has refined a method of moving a DSLR camera, often with a wide lens, through an environment using a time-lapse interval of shooting. Another contemporary time-lapse film artist, Julian Tryba uses time lapse combined with postproduction work to attain an effect he calls "layer-lapse". The only way to observe the natural evolution and timing of event is to record that event at an interval of shooting. In pixilation, the camera operator can shoot frames at random times depending on what is going on between frames.
