    wow. everything looks like miniature, extremely intricate models or toys. does this naturally just 'happen' when a tilt shift is used? or was more done in post to achieve this effect?

    I love this effect - I've only seen it done once before. Really clever and so convincing! It loses the effect a couple of times when the subject is less landscape or architectural and more human (such as the golfers and the swimming pool), but overall, really excellent work!

    There are so many requests for how in post. Well, here's a cookbook.

    Use AfterEffects or FinalCut or Nuke or whatever and you'll need stills of all of the shots (just one) in Photoshop. You could use photoshop cs4 + to do it with video layers, but it won't be fun.

    But you do need photoshop to make a Grayscale Mask of the areas you want to be sharp (white) and blurry (black). The more black, the more blurry, the more white, the more in focus. It's just an image, designed to your liking to your image.

    Then, in your post program load the video footage, and the greyscale matte and call up a COMPOUND BLUR (effect/node). You will have to say in the blur settings "I want to use my greyscale image as the source image (Basically it's asking - how will I blur?).

    Then, it's all done. Can test in photoshop on a still. (For photographers - works great with faking real depth of field as well.

    Or use Motion Templates in FCP - Check out Crumple Pops excellent Shrink Ray motion template for FCP.

    crumplepop.com/?page_id=19
  • Alexa Miller 1 year ago
    Can also be done only in FCP without plugins if you duplicate the footage and stack the copies in the timeline. Use the defocus filter on the bottom layer, and then apply a feathered garbage matte to the top later.

    At first I thought 'clever and charming' and then it started to settle into me...and I think that with the choice of music this is also quite visionary. Reminds me of all those philosophies which encourage us not to sweat the small stuff and to see life as play...thank you.

    Great vid! I've been playing a lot with the tilt/shift effect recently but mainly with still photography.

    To mimic the movement of a toy town is it just a case of removing every other frame, or is there something more? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks...

    Beautiful work. Someone commented on the golf course and swimming pool shots not working as well because of the subject matter, but I really think it was just due to the angle, which wasn't aerial enough. Loved the shot of the cloud shadow though, really nice work.

    beautiful work, thanks for posting. I am a bit surprised at your choice for soundtrack. A bit dramatic for the "toy" theme. I kept hearing Charlie Chaplin/Early Disney theme music running through my head. Maybe even the Benny Hill theme (Check out something like Disney's Water Babies Silly Symphonies tinyurl.com/2fkzmaf skip ahead at least to 1:00) The classical track seemed ill-fitted and made it feel like two separate ideas going on instead of one seamless experience. Just my opinion, love the visuals, love to see some more! Are you based in LOS?
