do you need to have a camera that can do time lapses or to you just film for awhile and then speed it up when you edit it?

i dont know, but a tide rising and leaving, boats in a peir, people in a subway (may be tough not to loose your camera) a carnival, camera mounted to the back of a car facing forward would look cool,

if you're feeling REALLY artsy. do a timelaps of a flower following the sun. it takes hours but you can probably do it in your own back yard!
