When these frames are then sped up or played back, you get a condensing of the motion. This means that something that was recorded at one frame every five seconds, suddenly takes a longer period of time and condenses it down. For example, if you needed 30 frames of material to make a second of video and you recorded one frame every five seconds, well now you are recording for 150 seconds, which is about two and a half minutes, to create a single second of video, obviously a big speed up in condensing. This could be used to show traffic, construction projects, clouds, weather systems, all sorts of things and it's pretty easy to do.
