I setup my iPhone on a small tripod, and used the OSnap! time lapse software to film me assmebling this kit. One image is taken every five seconds, and the result is played back at 5 frames per second. The kit I'm assembling is an Etherkit OpenBeacon, which is a small amateur radio transmitter designed to send very slow Morse code signals, or QRSS. Because of it's slow speed, these signals can be heard over long distances. Sadly, the batteries on my iPhone died after about 90 minutes of recording, so you don't get to see it finished, but here you go anyway.
