You can do all kinds of tricks with video nowadays, especially with the help of all the (mostly free) editing software on the web. I personally enjoy time lapse videos, which are ordinary recordings, only played back a lot faster (kind of like fast-forwarding).
A popular theme among time lapse videos is traveling. People film they trip wether it's by car, train, boat or any other means of transportation. Watching that video later after it's been accelerated is quite amusing as you can see where you've been and what happened without waiting too much.
But there's another way to make these videos. You really don't even need a camcorder. A lot of people record a dying or sprouting plant, the view of the sunrise from their window and so on. They don't do it using a camcorder, they use an ordinary camera. The trick is to put it on a tripod, connect it with a computer and then let it take pictures in certain predetermined intervals. This can all be easily achieved using special software, which usually comes with the camera. Later you can reorganize the pictures and view them a slideshow.
Time lapse videos are a great way to observe some painstakingly slow process, which would be otherwise difficult to understand and it's also a lot of fun :) Yaika! is the perfect place for uploading those videos as your friends can then easily view them.
