Lip dubs, time-lapse videos, and photo-a-day challenges: The Internet is lousy with them. But a photo-a-day time-lapse lip-dub video? Just one.

U.S. Army Veteran Jim Wolf has struggled with alcoholism, poverty, and homelessness for decades. But in September 2013, with the help of Degage Ministries in Grand Rapids, Mich., he agreed to go through a physical transformation.

As President Obama begins his second term in office, it's important to take a look back at just how much he's aged during his first one.

Time-lapse videos: they are all over the place, and they are all pretty, and at some point, aren't you like, "okay, I get it"? (As Dylan once sang, "How many time-lapse videos/Must a blogger post/Before he gets enough hits.") But! This one — Istanbul! Budapest! San Francisco! Vegas! Storms! The Northern Lights! —…

Though construction officially began in early 2006, it wasn't until a few years later that One World Trade Center — formerly the Freedom Tower — began to take its rightful place in New York City's iconic skyline.

Sunday's annular eclipse produced more than a few stunning shots of the Moon turning the Sun into a "ring of fire" visible to millions along the West Coast and across Southeast Asia. But only one time-lapse video of the event is truly worth your time: Cory Poole's 700-photo strong chronicle of the solar hide-and-seek.

EarthCam has been monitoring the construction of One World Trade Center (BKA the Freedom Tower) since day one: October 18th, 2004. (Technically, the cornerstone ceremony took place July 4, 2004, and construction didn't begin in earnest until 2006.)

Filmmaker Frans Hofmeester spent the past twelve years hovering over his daughter Lotte with a video camera — as fathers are wont to do.

You know I love a good time lapse movie and I love to ride bicycles, so this video is really freaking cool. The branding folks at Red Peak chained a bicycle to a New York sidewalk and took pictures of it every day for a year. Watch as it slowly is pillaged by thieves.

Here's the best space video we've ever seen: 18 time-lapse sequences of photos taken from the International Space Station, gorgeously processed and edited by Michael König. There's so much going on it's hard to know where to focus while you watch—the North and Southern Lights? The flickers of lightning in the…

The winning time at the New York City Marathon on Sunday was two hours and five minutes. How about shaving two hours off of that and running the whole thing in just about five minutes? Now you can, and not even leave your chair.

You know that I love a time-lapse video, so how could I resist one of the ludicrous rich people's druggie playground that is Burning Man? Sure, this thing is more played out than rolling around on E in the desert, but there's something great about watching a bustling city come together over the course of a few days…

Just watch this giant pumpkin growing in Ken Desrosiers yard in Broad Brook, Connecticut. The 1,487 behemoth took only two and a half months to grow and Desrosiers captured the entire thing with time-lapse photography. We haven't seen this dedication to Halloween since old Roseanne episodes.

Here's a gorgeous time-lapse video constructed (by James Drake) out of 600 publicly-available photos taken from the International Space Station as it orbited around the Earth. Our only gripe: No music! We would have gone with this, or maybe this. But we're open to hearing your suggestions for a space jam if you post…

You know how much we love a time-lapse video of New York! Here's one of the work done on the 9/11 memorial between 2004 and 2011. Why doesn't this thing have the dramatic soundtrack and whirling lights we're used to?

It seems like the Internet falls in love with a new time-lapse video on a daily basis, and yet it's always fun to see a new one with a twist. Ryan Killackey's "A Day in California" took 10,000 photos and 18 months of work to complete, but you'll only need about three minutes to enjoy the fruits of his labor in the…

Tom Offer-Westort used to be a guy with a big shaggy beard and shoulder-length hair. Now, he's... not. Luckily for the internet, his friend, filmmaker Peter Simon, made sure he did the big shave "in style," and created this nice little video—kind of a Vimeo Peanut-Butter Solution—of the event. Enjoy it, before…

There are tons of time-lapse videos on the internet—you know, the ones in which everything is sped up over a dramatic soundtrack—but many of the ones we've seen have been set in New York. Here's one that finally does L.A. some justice.

While many central and southern states have been dealing with scorching temperatures for days now, it wasn't until this week that the heat wave began spreading east and enveloped the entire country. So just how much of the country is suffering from the sweltering heat? Check out the time-lapse animation from the…

Did you know Chicago has an architectural boat tour that sends visitors around—and through—the city? You don't need to make a trip to the Windy City to experience it. Just watch this time-lapse video that Philip Bloom made, who whittled the nearly four-hour adventure down to a cool three minutes. [via Doobybrain]
