Learning about: Time Lapse? Stop Motion?

First of all a disclaimer: No I am not going to teach you how to do time lapse and stop motion in this video, although I feel tempted to actually practise a bit with both.

As previously stated I have begun with my first session of progressive learning. I started with formulating a question that I had:

What is the difference between Time Lapse and Stop Motion?

I then proceeded to dedicate 15 minutes of my time to investigating and developing a conclusion which I will post here.

What is Time Lapse?

A video or animation consisting of frames separated by a fixed time interval. For example: A video of the sky in which a frame is taken every x amount of seconds.

What is Stop Motion?

A video or animation in which every frame is taken without consideration for the time interval between frames. For example: You can take a picture of a man in one position, and the following frame could be taken 15 minutes later, or 30 minutes later, and the following could be the following day.

Thanks to Andy for a great site on Time Lapse and Stop Motion. This concludes my learning for today.
