5 time-lapses you can make with iOS 8

So, the holidays are almost here, and you need to find stuff to do. Below is a list of things you can do with the time-lapse feature on your iPhone:



1) FIND A ROOM WHERE YOU SPEND MOST OF THE DAY
Set up your iOS device in a room that you are going to be in for most of the day. This can be your office or bedroom. For example, I set up my iPhone in my room for about an hour, while I was working on a project. The end result is excellent; you have a video showing the amount of work you have done for the day. It shows the stages you have went through to complete your work, for example, the brainstorming, planning, editing, and finalising.

2) PAINTING
Get out that set of paints that you never use. If you want to, buy one of those canvases that have numbers. The numbers on the canvas comes with an outline, and it tells you which sections should be painted with a certain colour, eg: 1 is red. Then, put your iPhone near you, and start painting! Trust me, you'll love the results.

3) BUY YOURSELF A LEGO SET
Don't tell me you're too old, go out there and buy yourself a LEGO set. Then set up your camera and build the set. You could upload the video to YouTube, and tag me on Google Plus.

4) GO OUTDOORS
If you're an outdoor person, take your iPhone and go outside. Find a nice spot, such as a busy beach or harbour. Then start your time-lapse. If you're on the beach, you can see all the different tourists coming and going. In the harbour you can watch ships coming and going.

5) FILM YOURSELF EATING 
Get a few cupcakes or sandwiches. Then, put the camera in front of you and start recording. The time-lapse will show you the different stages of eating: you start off hungry, then you feel a bit full, then you slow down, then you stop. It's quite interesting, if you have the stomach for it!

Those are the 5 best things I could think of, let me know if you have any other ideas in the comments below. Also, subscribe to the mailing list to know when I put up another post!
