31. Little Berlin / LensBaby + tilt-shift
2 months ago
Video memories from my Berlin vacation, in August 2009. They include the zoo, the river, monuments, streets, plazas and lot of clouds. I experimented with tilt-shift from points of view not ideal for giving the idea of the world as if it was a little model, but I discovered interesting results even if I hadn't the chance to shoot from top. Ok, I also included a fake fake-model (a real model!), I guess that you'll spot it easily...
I had a lot of fun playing with LensBaby on a Canon EOS 500D: it gives you the feeling of shooting video with a Lomo. I used LensBaby Composer with double glass optic and sometimes the super wide angle add-on (I wish that the fisheye optic was already available this summer...). A few videos and time-lapses were shot with a normal Canon Lens, so I post-produced them simulating the defects of the other toy lenses. Can you recognize them?

The composition is fantastic
how long can you film with that?
I love the zoo shots !
15 minutes is the limit for a single video, but for time-lapses I just take pictures with a dedicated remote control. With the battery grip I can shoot for many hours (not tried yet more then 12 hours...)
@Frederic
Thank you, I love the zoo too, I wish I had time for visiting the second zoo in Berlin (probably the only city in the world with 2 of them... :)
About the lens in that case I used a Wide angle by Canon: Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM.
ho usato le Lensbaby con cui puoi inclinare il piano di messa a fuoco e controllare il digradare del fuori fuoco, anche molto spinto. In pratica puoi dare l'impressione che sia un modellino riproducendo la tipica profondità di campo molto ridotta che siamo abituati a vedere nelle macro. Per rendere ancora più riuscito l'effetto bisognerebbe cercare di scattare dall'alto, come di solito succede per i modellini. Accelerare la velocità del video può aiutare ulteriormente.
Per saperne di più, prova a cercare "miniature faking" e "tilt-shift": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_faking
Domanda:
avrei intenzione di creare un video tilt-shift a Milano sotto le feste natalizie, secondo te si può riprendere tipo in P.zza Duomo in Pzza Castello ecc. o in teoria servono permessi?
Intendo riprese da terra con cavalletto, anche se sarebbe meglio dall'alto...
grazie mille del commento.
sfortunatamente la normativa italiana è demenziale, serve un permesso per occupazione di suolo pubblico dal comune se vuoi posare un cavalletto, anche se lo fai per fini personali o artistici. Io sono anche stato schedato da una pattuglia dei carabinieri, perchè sembravo sospetto con un cavalletto...
Nei luoghi molto centrali hai buone probabilità di imbatterti in polizia in borgherse, carabinieri, vigili ecc. ecc. Se ti fermi pochi minuti magari nessuno fa in tempo a romperti le scatole, se invece speri di fare un time-lapse di ore, beh prova a mimetizzarti!
The best way to get this look is shooting from a very high point of view and using tilt shift lenses on a full frame camera.
A more affordable way is to shoot with Lensbaby (as I did in this video), but in some cases you can fake well with post-production (here I'm mixing real blurs with post-produced ones).
What happens with lensbaby is that you force the aperture, so it's like working in Aperture priority mode.
