Celebratin'... Fast Forward

Time-lapse photography has a weird way of revealing the truth about the human condition. That's why one of biggest viral videos ever, much-spoofed, was the girl who took a picture of herself every day for a year.


The Grind's first big brush with the freaky potential of time-lapse photography was a substance-addled viewing of the cult film classic, Koyaanisqatsi.


This sounds very gross, but it's really not all that graphic. Check out this time-lapse video of a rabbit decomposing and returning to the soil.


If you want to drive from LA to New York, watching this vid instead will save you a bunch on gas.


Nature!


This haunting time-lapse of a man trapped in an elevator for 48 hours will stick with you. Read the awesome Nick Paumgarten story about the ordeal in the New Yorker.
