Life Lapse

Life Lapse is a Vancouver stop-motion app. It gives phone users ghosted frame overlays, timing controls and export presets to shoot product and social videos that would otherwise need a studio. Sarah Boland founded it in 2017.

About

Life Lapse started as a way for expectant mothers to shoot a week-by-week bump montage. Users took it somewhere else — small brands and creators used it to make product videos — and Boland, who came from film school and video marketing, rebuilt the app around that. She demoed it in the Demo of the Month slot on the TechVancouver stage in January 2018, less than a year after launch.

How did it start?

Who founded it?

Sarah Boland, in 2017, in Vancouver.
