Yesterday RNS:: (http://www.ranosoft.net/) released Rapid Movie (http://www.ranosoft.net/rapidmovie/) - a sequential shooting camera and time-lapse video recorder for Treo.
Rapid Movie can be used to create sequential JPG images or time-lapse QuickTime videos.
The general purpose of Rapid Movie is capturing film frames at a rate much slower than a playback speed. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster. Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye become very pronounced.
The technologies provided by RNS:: Rapid Movie generally give best results when recording objects or scenes that change slowly, in long periods of time. Some classic subjects include:

Sample animation:

The animation presented above was created with Rapid Movie. The toy-bulldozer is not a remote-controlled vehicle. It is not even equipped with an engine. Frames of the animation were captured in equal intervals with the delay of 5 seconds. During the delays, the toy's position was manually changed, making a slight difference between contiguous frames. The static pictures were then combined into a single fast-playing image sequence, creating a moving video.
The toy-bulldozer used in this video is currently for sale. The price is $500, and it will be shipped free of charge to the first buyer.
