I like it :)
Ed Slaman 7 months ago

I think you did something with a story line in your fisherman rescue piece. The effort to create the same kind of wonder with standard shooting is way beyond you.
Joey Carr 1 year ago

It's so funny that model makers spend all that effort on making models look real, then CGI replaces them and all-of-a-sudden it's cool to make reality look like a model :)

Very cool. Must have taken FOREVER to render all that lens blur!
gonzalo chong 1 year ago

I think the images are actually taken from real world with only a tilt-shift lens and a 35mm adapter. There´s no CGI in this clip. (sorry for my crapy english!::)

Great!
Alice Bevan–McGregor 1 year ago

D'y'know, I think I'd be able to reproduce this using a D90 and a Lensbaby, or even my D200 intervalometer and Lensbaby. :/ Looks wickedly awesome, though! I love tilt-shift miniatures!
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Thanks Alice - Be sure to post if you do.

Thanks Retner!
Jesse Morgan 1 year ago

I have seen this type of effect before and I love it! Is this done with only a tilt-shift lens and a 35mm adapter? What lens and what video camera did you use, it looks fantastic!
Wynner3 1 year ago

That was so cool, nice blur effect.
Asier Gonzalez Zabala 1 year ago

I like it alot!
It reminded me of a maquette, I guess what made me feel that feeling, is the fact that is quite blurred at both background and foreground, very like when you use a macro lensess on a camera to shoot small things like an Antz...:D...

VERY INTERESTING Keith!!

Thanks for share!!

Asier.
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Thanks Asier.

Rich Danby 1 year ago

Fantastic. I'm hoping to get a TS lens soon and one of the reasons was to do some timelapses. Nice to see someone has beaten me to it and produced something that looks great.

Erik Hölperl 1 year ago

Its so unbelivable to watch
first seconds you think, "ahhh nice rendering" until you recognize its real. After you got it you cant stop laughing how cute this hole little big world looks. love the speedboats speeding through the screen. <3
Sean 1 year ago

Wonderful! If I hadn't actually been to Sydney, I would question if it was a model or the real thing. Fantastic work!

Amazing. At first I really thought that these are toys and I was wondering "how the hell did you make the waves look so realistic?". Haha. Really great piece!

Hi Jay,

These are high res photos downsized to produce the video. The smooth motion is related to frame rate. Thanks for the questions.
Jesús Olmo 1 year ago

paco 1 year ago

This is totally amazing.
Nick Douglas 1 year ago

Fantastic stuff, of course, and I hope to see more. Where do you shoot these from to get such high angles? Are you on nearby buildings zooming in?
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Hi Nick,

Sydney has a great landscape for this kind of photography. Plenty of hills and clifflines surrounding beautiful harbors. Cheers, Keith.
RNG35 1 year ago

Which adapter are you using?
mbgriffi 1 year ago

Very nice! Tilt shift heaven. Did you shoot in timelapse or in realtime and then timelapsify it? Additionally what do you use to edit with?
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Hi mbgriffi - Yes timelapse and archive high quality stills. I edit using FC Pro, Color and occasionally motion. Thanks for asking. Keith.

LEE 1 year ago

very fun! very interesting..

This is amazing movie...

What type of camera taken movie?
David Gidali 1 year ago

Are you sure no post DOF on those shots? I could swear the blur is based on 2D screen space and not real world distance from camera.
(Looking at those high poles "loosing focus" as they enter the blurred area in the background).
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Hi David, Lenses only. I have converted MF lenses to tilt & mounted them on a DSLR. The reason the poles are also out of focus is that the plane of focus created by the tilt shift lens has been flattened to cut through the scene. At closer subject distances you could control this better.
David Gidali 1 year ago

I see, thanks for the info. It sure looks awesome - I could definitely find use to it in some of my future film projects :)
FS Dreamscapes 1 year ago

It reminds me of Thomas the Tank Engine for some reason, great filmography!!!

Great shots. Congratulations for your imagination.
Charlie Ellis 1 year ago

brilliantly creative!
Chris 1 year ago

Very, very clever, and beautiful.

I am interested in the psychology. As far as I can see, there's no real reason for me to "feel" as if these are miniatures (they are not of course), but I do. Strongly.

Is this simply because previous conditioning has lead me to associate a very short depth of field and no water or wind movement with models? Or is it something else?
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Hi Chris - Yes that a big part of it. I go into a bit of detail in this interview:

Cheers,

Keith.

I've become an instant fan! Love your work. I'd love to see panning action.
Dave T 1 year ago

Hiya,
I rocked up and introduced myself to you on Sat when you were down at Tamerama beach.

This vid is my current fav but really looking forward to checking out what you do with the Sculpture walk.

Have a good one and wear lots of sun screen :-)
