How would you guys go about doing timelapses?

Hey guys, I have been doing a YouTube channel from Jan 2026. I am printing new designs parametric for everyday for now. The series titled The Source Code. The main problem I have is, my YouTube shorts are having way less clarity on the first 3 seconds which we call the hook. I am using a timelapse. Just want to know how do you guys film better timelapses, any suggestions for me? I want to film high quality timelapses on my p1s or any new printers. But I don't want to spend too much on extra phones or high tech cameras. Has anyone been doing good timelapses? I have been searching for camera ones, but never have been able to solve this problem of recording those crisp timelapses. But no spending heavy amounts. For reference my YouTube shorts now feature the timelapse from default in-built camera, which to be honest is very poor. My channel for reference - https://youtube.com/@theworldofvariables Thanks in advance.
