Indoor timelapse subjects?

Yes
After seeing some amazing timelapse videos recently I decided to give it a try but I'm looking for some inspiration for indoor subjects until the weather picks up enough that I can leave my camera shooting outside for a few hours ;)

The two obvious ones I can think of are a melting candle and a melting ice cube but does anyone have any other suggestions? Growing/dying plants is an idea but I don't really want my camera tied up for the days that that would take so something which has a noticeable change over a few hours would be ideal.
 
My first go was with ice cubes in a glass, as they melted they twisted in the glass which made for a more interesting shot. Do you have any small pets, hamster?
One on a wheel might be quite good fun?
 
No pets but I can imagine a hamster would work very well, especially dragging the shutter to let it blur a bit and setting it to music. A pets for life, not just for a photo opportunity though :-p
 
Stars at night are always interesting in a time lapse video. You could also do a time lapse of something you can see out side your windows in your house perhaps, a busy road? park? field?

Would be good to see how you get on :)
 
We have a rubbish view, it's either into a carpark or into our neighbours window. I might try the carpark but thought a bit of practise on something simple inside would help first where I can control/vary the lighting.

The lightroom presets suggested on the timescale forum make producing it quite straight forward, just need some inspiration on the subject.
 
Hamsters only live for a short time, you would be lucky to get one decent time-lapse out of one......... LOL
 
What about something baking and/or rising in the oven, if the oven window is transparent enough? That idea just occurred to me, and I'm going to give it a bash myself. :)
 
Scott, that's a great idea. I may even try that myself this weekend with some blueberry muffins!
