iMotion is one of our favourite apps for creating time lapse and stop motion videos. As you probably know, time lapse is ’ a cinematography technique which accelerates movement. It can be used to photograph cloudscapes, plants growing, crowds… Stop motion is an animation technique which makes a physically manipulated object look like it’s moving on its own’.
