wow!

Gonna have to try this. Thanks for sharing!

Cool,, there was a tremendous influx & flurry of this technique on flickr close to two years ago . It really is fascinating how landscapes , especially those with people & buildings appear to be miniaturized, train set-like, or for a
"memory scene" in a film good stuff.

interesting technique

I love using t/s lenses.

Or slant focus. Whatever; much fun. Thanks for posting these.

thanks for all the comments!

yeah! you can do this in photoshop or for real with view-camera (the ones with bellows and a tilting/swinging front and back) if i´m not mistaken.

savage! is it just a perceived super-narrow depth of field? I can't work it out. i wonder can you do the reverse and make models look like real life? I love photography...

Great Job! 1:35 works sooooo perfect!
It's cool that you show the originals too.

(... and nice music selection ... did not hear the track for ages :D)

Is this an effect done on the computer or is it a special lens you use?

Very cool. after u apply the depth of field work to it, do you skew the image at all?

Super cool! Who's the music by?

so so cool.

yeah...this is really fun to do with aerial type shots!

Great tilt-shift work! Here's one example of the PS effect applied frame-by-frame to video: boingboing.net/2006/03/16/fake-tilt-shift-movi.html

nice stuff thomas. very informative to see the image with and without treatment.

i think you could get this look for video by pulling out the horizontal realm... making it 840x480 rather than 640x480 (or there abouts aspect) and then adding a garbage matted guassian blur.

i have done some similar effecting, though a bit different... kind of a way to cheat for a shallow depth of field.

you still end up working more or less frame by frame, but with a bit more continuity via keyframing.

That's insane! I've never seen that before!

Actually I have the equipment to film this tilt-shift effect in live action but haven`t used it much. If is remember correctly Cetury converted all the Canon TS-E lenses for cine use so one can actually rent those lenses for movie cameras. I only have the 35mm one. Another great effect to film through tilt-shift lens is the perspective correction that can not be done for film or video in post production.

So awesome.

Nice. Another question: Who's the track? I know I own it, but if I'm right it's been YEARS and somewhere in the closet.

Bjork is the artist...I forget the name of the track and have since lost it off of my hard-drive...damn technology.
