How to Create Time-Lapse Videos of Your Art

I've been busy creating some new illustrations this week, and filming time-lapse videos of the process. You see, I get asked all the time how I create and edit my time-lapse art videos, so I created a step-by-step class to show you how to make your own! And the best bit is that you can do it all on your phone, oh, and you can finish the whole class in less than 30 minutes!

I contribute the majority of my growth on Instagram to time-lapse videos. While Instagram rarely promotes my photos to the discover feed, my time-lapse videos end up there all the time. This means that instead of a shelf-life of around 24-hours, my video posts end up bringing in new likes and followers for months after I post them!  

Most recently the super simple video below (which I created in about three minutes while listening to a speaker at a conference) has been viewed over 2.4 Million times and brought me over 5,000 new followers in less than a month!

The editing part is really easy too. Check out the example video below. In about one minute I brightened it, got rid of the dark corners, edited out the shots where I leaned across my work or was using my hairdryer to dry the paint, and added in some side angle footage! AND I did it all on my iPhone!
