timelapse
Speeded-up video technique
Timelapse is a photographic technique that compresses long periods into short sequences by capturing images at intervals and playing them back at normal speed.
A flower blooming over days becomes seconds of footage; clouds race across the sky.
As a modifier: timelapse photography, timelapse video.
Also spelled time-lapse or time lapse.
