The difference between time lapse and stop motion

Whilst I've been researching I've thought what are the differences between stop motion and time lapse photography. They are very similar as its 100's of photos combined to then be converted in to a video.



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.

The time lapse video was made by some one I briefly know through a friend. This piece of work is incredible and I've asked if I can go along one day to see how he makes the time lapse.. There is a very expensive piece of equipment to create the double movement and you see it when he's filming the time lapse.




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.
