Where does the “Hyperlapse Photography” meme come from?
The expression refers to a specific filming technique rather than a traditional joke. It combines static time-lapse with camera movement. The earliest known occurrence dates to December 27, 2008, via a Vimeo video by Fran Muradas titled *Test Hyperlapse*. The term gained popularity around 2012 through Shahab Gabriel Behzumi’s *Berlin – Hyper-Lapse* video. This clip widely disseminated the distinctive visual style. The meme relies on this aesthetic, often shared without strong narrative context. The French phrasing appears to be an explanatory paraphrase added by users to describe the visual effect.
