Miniature or Real?


I recommend watching it in HD. More videos by this guy. Read the comments for the explanation.

  1. Actually this is timelapse footage from a real event. By using a special depth of field technique called tilt-shift photography the artist creates the effect of looking at miniatures.
    I really recommend watching his other videos which are more clearly real and very nice timelapses.

  2. This looks like a good time to eleminate this from my 'potential blogposts' bookmarks...

    I think it gives a very cool effect. I wonder how hard it is to make such a timelapse and whether I need special equipment.

  3. The wiki page says you can either do it digitally by gradient blurring or optically with special lenses.

  4. I'll give it a try someday.
    Any cool places I should consider?
    I'm thinking Rotterdam Centraal would be a cool spot.

  5. Yeah that could be cool. Remember to find a place where you have an oblique high view of the scene.
