I just discovered the wonder of time-lapse videos. I recently saw my first one on YouTube. It’s a popular video<\/a> by Dutch filmmaker Frans Hofmeester called “Portrait of Lotte.” Hofmeester filmed his daughter Lotte every week from birth to 14 years old. The video shows Lotte going from a smiling toothless baby to a young girl with braces. You can see Lotte talking in the video, but the only sound you hear is sweet background music. Since its release, the video has over 4 million views on YouTube.<\/p>\n

TIME Magazine<\/em> reported <\/a>that Hofmeester makes time-lapse videos as a way to bond with his children. He has another video <\/a>of his son Vince growing up from birth to age 11. Hofmeester used the time he shot the videos to talk to his kids about their lives and how their weeks were going.<\/p>\n
