What is the antonym to "slow motion"? How can I write this in a scenario?
 
=NOT A TEACHER=

Hello,

Technically the effect opposite to "slow motion" is called "time-lapse" and is usually achieved by filming (or photographing) a scene at a lower framerate than it is planned to be played back. When played, the motion appears proportionally faster than it is in reality.

I'm not sure if that's exactly what you meant in your post.

Best regards,
Tomasz
