THE CHALLENGE: Time lapse videos (also known as fast framing) are a cool way to show people a long process in a very short amount of time. Show people how you created a picture on PhotoShop, a drawing in Adobe Illustrator, or do it with pictures of the same thing that change over time. Like how a tree changes color throughout the year, or your different outfits throughout the semester while standing in the same spot. Be creative and have fun with this idea. This could be a project that you simply take one picture a day and then work on another project until you have gotten a lot of photos to put into iMovie and speed up.

STEAM U Level:
