Life Lapse ideas from Colette Peri

Eek!! We’re weeks away from the biggest launch since we built the app and we’re SO excited! If you’re stumbling on here because you’ve been WAITING… it’s coming soon, I promise.

In the meantime, here are three ideas from stop motion extraordinaire, Colette Peri. If you don’t know Colette, she is the industry-leading stop motion artist and educator known for her colorful aesthetic, creative ideas, and eye-catching animations. Her client list includes prominent brands such as Sony, Starbucks, REI, Dunkin’, Pottery Barn Kids, Redbull, and more. When we saw her amazing hybrid videos with mixing stop motion with regular videos, we came together to see if we could make something that the everyday user can create with our app and their phone… and that’s how this new feature came to be!

We asked her to share with us three ideas to try with Life Lapse and here they are (along with our own creations from her ideas!)

We hope this sparks some inspiration! Be sure to follow us on social for more ideas.

1. Stop-Motion: Avocado toast and berries pop onto a plate, one ingredient at a time.
Regular Video: To the right of the breakfast— your hand reaches in, swirling an iced coffee/tea.

2. Stop-Motion: Your favorite plant spins around in a circle. Regular Video: Next to the plant, your kid (or pet) interacts with a toy, and smiles at the camera. 

3. Stop-Motion: A stack of books pile up one by one on the coffee table. Regular Video: You're on the couch next to them, casually reading, flipping pages.
