    Very cool view of sheeple carrying about.

    I rented a tilt shift lens last week (Canon 28mm TS) and took some pretty cool..oops awesome pictures myself but not quite this awesome.

    The best pictures are from up above. It’s hard to focus on a subject as focus is manual only. For tripod and moving subject use it is tops.

    Very pretty… Reminds me of how I thought life on cities was when I was a kid… :)

    Is the step / step / step / step frame rate really a needed item to carry the effect?

    Or, is it, as we often say in production, a design elephant?

    #3 Just a side effect of showing more frames per second than recorded. The old silent films, maybe all early video, suffer from the same thing when shown in the present. They get played faster than they were recorded and the action looks jerky.

    Like most photographic effects, the less of it you do, the more real it looks.

    Some of those shots were stunningly realistic. Most were obviously not.

    #5. I don’t think so. It’s a real time or faster than real time, but artificially slow frame rate.

    2 Much Tekneeeeque.

    If you check the similar city miniature in #4, you see what simple speed-up looks like. That one is MUCH easier to watch and carries the miniature effect much better.

    I’m declaring a Design Elephant Moment for the lede story.

    I think the jerkiness leads you to believe that it is a stop motion film which is how you would animate an actual miniature scene.

    I feel like a giant looking through a magnifying glass!

    So this “tilt(shift)” effect only focuses the middle band of a high-res movie stream? And the stop-motion gives a “claymation” effect of moving miniature models?

    Cool. SME’s, tell me more.
