They same time flies when you're having fun. For this bounty we're challenging you to film and edit the most beautiful Elite Dangerous time-lapse video you can, using only in-game footage. It can be anywhere from two- to 20-minutes-long. It's not essential, but considering the hefty top prizes, we recommend thinking hard about your transitions and combining multiple time-lapsed clips into a single video for maximum effect.

What is a time-lapse video? A time-lapse video stretches out the frame rate, so that when played back at a normal speed, time appears to be sped up. There are plenty of guides and examples online.
