Timelapse

Timelapse is a certain form of animation achieved by taking pictures of anything at certain intervals, it can range from a picture a second to a picture every year.
This certain time lapse was done by taking a picture of the Gentleman's face every day for a year so it can capture how his beard grows in a year, he called the time lapse the 'year of the beard'.
Another popular form of time lapse is something known as 'Speed Drawing' . This normally consists of people taking pictures at very quick drawing an object, a drawing that might take a couple of hours will be sped up and the final piece is ready within a few minutes.
