does your camera have tilt shift built in ? or in post production?

this is so awesome. really great work!

Where is this? You did a great job and it looks fantastic. That shoot must of been freeeeeezing!

the combination of time lapse and simulated tilt-shift make for a splendid look at winter life as if it were an ant colony.

Thanks to everyone who commented. I shot this in Milwaukee, Wi USA. Yes, it was freezing but worth it!
This was my first experiment with T/S and I am hooked.
I would really like to try some non-simulated T/S with a DSLR.

awesome, what a great idea to combine tilt shift with motion :)

Awesome video!
What were your camera settings on this and did you shoot to cards or tethered? I'm amazed you did it all post.
Very nice

Excellently shot and edited. Kudos. I hope this brings in a ton of paying work.

This was fab! I LOVE ALL things tilt shift!

Amazing ...
I NEED to know how much pictures you put on all film PLEASE???

Wow, this is awesome. I love the tilt-shift in motion. Very creative.

Wow 4500 images ... what a work man ... im tired only imagin that aha !!!

Erik can you show to us your equipment (cam and lens) for that film please ???

awesome video :) great idea combining tilt-shift with moving image, great work

great!! I loveit!!

Really amazing, It looked like an antique miniature town in a model train set. Now I have to find out what Tilt/Shift is.......

nice!

INSANE! You just turned a big corner, E.

I absolutely love everything about this, I don't even know where to begin. From Codebreaker to Milwaukee snowstorms to the fact that it was done with a point and shoot. What really put it over the top for me was the scene of de-icing US Airways planes, where I used to work. Bravo.

it's like a hell of ice. nice video. congrats

Wow! What a video! You did this for fun or is this actually an offical videoclip?

What I really love about this video, besides the snow and the good photography, is that due to the S/T it almost looks like a toy world. At first I even thought that this was a model city or something with toy cars and planes.

incredible that you can do that with an ixus.

OMFG!! How the hell do you do to simulate tilt shift?!! It's simply amazing, it seems a diorama!! I wonder if it's possible with Premiere pro... Very Very Nice job! Che Spettacolo!!

FUCK the technique and wasting space talking about it. You held tight to a beautiful and simple concept and this production shines. I'm very happy someone sent me this link to view.... Plus damn Codebreaker nice track

No please let me take back my last comment. that is why i love Vimeo because we can intelligently talk about the technique and become a community. I just get frustrated when I read comments that seem to ignore other comments previously posted. I'm from Milwaukee currently living in Germany and I have the hugest grin on my face seeing those snowplows go to the race track.

awesome! tilt shift looks great! love the de-icing of the planes wings!

Very Cool!
I grew up in ND and know snow.
This vid is like watching train set models in action.

This is an awesome video, I was really amazed to read that you did all this in post production. And the track is just swell.

Erik did you use the continuos shooting function and of corz with tripod right?

Thanks for answer Erik, awesome work! I have to try it myslef...:D

Love the feel of it, great match with the music. great work

Very Inspiring!

AWESOME i love the way this way shot and made complete in post, great work

outstanding production! Glad I found this. I now know my next concept to tackle. ;)

Very nice man! I tried in PS CS4 and did a basic Gaussian Blur...what was your workflow? Did you do a batch filter process in photoshop for your 4,500 images? Would you mind posting your basic workflow?

Thanks!

that is cool video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

diepixeljaeger (markus)

looks absolutely great. imho music doesn't fit quite so well.

Great final piece. Originally from Milwaukee I recognized a lot of these areas.

Approx. how long did the post-production take?

Around 1.40 man, thats a great part!!! Really like those snowmovers and the planes. :)

You just used an SD630 for the stills? Awesome, I tip my hat to you sir.

That is most incredible video I have ever seen!

Awesome!

its looks like little toys like legos or something. thats what i thought at first. its awesome! creativity comes in all shapes and forms. keep it up!

Absolutely fantastico!

Striking and compelling. I'm struck how these real machines look like miniatures...??? bizarre, beautiful, real looks fake > wow.

Absolutely amazing!!

beatiful

Wow, this is a fantastic video. You shot my house and made it look incredible. Do you know someone at Diamond Tower, or did you have to ask for access? Also, that little one story, curved roof house in the exact center of the first shot is my favorite in all of Milwaukee. Thank you so much for featuring my hood.

You simulated all this with Photoshop? What version? I need to learn this trick,cause I sooo Love this effect!!!
Thanks
Evan

Love this!

the tilt shift effect makes it look like miniatures...love it!

at the end of 3:30 i was left felling, and wanting MORE!
:) Mad Props.. and seriously i want more!

like it a lot. As said before like legos... One of the buses went with slide...hehe i thought it would crash

this is one of the better tilt-shifts i've seen. the car slipping at 2:40 made me laugh

Oh gash, where's my brain??? It's awesome!!!!

Great.........I want to play LEGO now))))

T/S is cool! Simulated T/S...that's very cool! So let me get this straight. Those are all multiple still pictures....or did you just do a batch removal of a portion of video throughout the vid' to get the stop motion feel? You said you did a batch process of 2 layers for each frame in the film/video....what software did you use to do the Gaussian Blur, Masking, And Blur for the soft edges?

Thanks!

One other thing. I find T/S very inherently interesting to watch, even if there really is no complete story to tell. You'll note that I dish out some helpful writing techniques on some videos that seem to get lost and have no place really to go. But with Tilt Shift...I just get lost in the toy land feel. Just an interesting side note. - Cheers!

You win.....Everything.

I don't know what to say. You make the rest of the world just plain look bad.

that was freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bravo!

It`s greate, thank you !!!

fabulous video. And what commitment to concept and process.
Moving onto your thought to use a DSLR with a tilt shift
( perspective control) lens, is that just for resolution? Other than using a large format stills camera 4x5, 8x10 etc, with a seemingly infinite array of perspective and focus shape shifting, a DSLR lens just wont give you the altered focus planes you've utilised in the video. The same applies to complex motion with perspective control prime movie lenses. Evenso having achieved what you have in this video, I'd have to say 'go for it'!
Also for a note the work of Japanese photographer, Noaki Honjo, and Finnish photographer Miklos Gaal might give fuel to your thoughts.
Chapeau bas!

Amazing Video!!!!

looks amazing! like toys. Great

Cool!!

this is great

It almost looks like miniature cars. How did you achieve this effect?

one of the best tilt-shift videos here. nice work.

amazing video! I may or may not have just watched this like 3 times in a row :)

with Canon Powershot SD630!!!!!!!
damm!! it's great

love it posted at the curious brain

Great effect. You could use Alien Skins Bokeh filter to easily create and apply the tilt effect to numerous files.
