time_lapse

An image showing how something changes or the progression of an event overtime through the use of several “frames”. A considerate amount of time may pass between individual frames, making this tag different from sequential (in which at most seconds pass).

Usually, other than the main subject that is changing, the rest of the frames should remain mostly the same. (Ex: for a time lapse of a store, the angle/position at which the store is displayed in each panel is the same).

For the time-lapse of a work being drawn, see making-of.
