The dawn of Hyperlapse music videos is upon us.

Fall Out Boy, the band who brought us Flappy Bird clone Fall Out Bird, just released a new song accompanied by a music video that partially uses footage filmed via time-lapse app Hyperlapse. The "Centuries" video speeds through cityscapes and concert footage.

Though time-lapse videos are not new, the app makes it simpler for musicians, big or small, to employ the method for their music videos in two simple taps.

New Jersey-based band Radiant Life Perspective, for example, used only an iPhone 5s and Instagram's Hyperlapse app to create "Strange Gifts," below. The group strolled through the streets in Princeton, New Jersey, with a boom box that played a super slow version of the song in order to sync the singers' lips with the music in the final product.
