10 Astonishing Tilt-Shift Videos
Advertisement
I’m sure you have seen some amazing tilt-shift photos – if not, tilt-shift creates an effect that turns normal sized objects or scenes into miniature-like. It is done by special tilt-shift lenses that have very limited depth of field. To start playing with this technique you need to buy a tilt-shift lens, attach to your dSLR camera and start shooting.
In this post we wanted to feature some of the best videos applying this technique. To make such amazing pieces you can see below, just take your time lapse tilt-shift photos and create video using some video editing software (it is most popular technique) . Scroll down your our 5 quick tips on creating tilt-shift videos.

5 Quick Tips to Create Tilt-Shift Time Lapse Videos:
1) Get some tilt-shift lens
2) Think about some interesting scenes to shoot. Scene should include some moving objects as they look very interesting in your ‘miniature’ world. People, cars etc works great!
3) Experiment how fast to take shots. there are no standarts how much frames per second you should take, just play arond and see what works for you best.
4) Try to shoot from above. Remember – you are trying to create miniature effect!
5) Search for some great music track as it helps to create right feeling. You can also play with frames, even add some effects that match music when editing video.

Wow, really increadible stuff there. I especially liked “Small Life in Southampton, England” as not only am I from there, but I was actually able to recognise my miniturised self in one of the shots! Quite a perculier thing to see yourself like that, but very cool
Ha, ha – this is cool – I can imagine how cool is to see yourself in such videos!

great videos, tilt shift photography can be so captivating and almost mesmerizing to watch. great selection here!
I wonder what is the exact thig that changes in the image that makes us percive it like minatures. I mean what is the diference to our ayes between real size things and minatures.
Also how would a person talking shoot with this lense look like.. like a close up..

you do understand that you do not need a special lens to achieve this effect, it can be done in still photography using simple techniques in Photoshop or just about any photo manipulating software and for film it can be achieved through video editing software like Premiere Pro.
Great videos regardless but nothing that requires deep pockets to achieve

Normally, when we see a large object that's, say, over forty feet away, and it's in focus, we would expect to also see anything beyond that also in focus. This isn't true for a tiny close up object (say, two feet away) that takes up the same field of view–if we focus on them, we'll see objects further away go out of focus. The tilt shift lens simulates this effect on large, faraway images that we normally only see on small, close up images.
This can also be done in Photoshop. Just select the areas that you want to push out of focus, and add a slight blur. for a better effect, do a gradient blur that starts close to the “in focus” object and gradually blurs more the farther away it is. To really do a good job, select the area so as to follow the shapes of objects in a way that draws a line such that everything on the line appears approximately equidistant from the camera lens.
Other touches can be used to add to the illusion. One is to decrease the detail slightly everywhere except for a thin slice where everything is “superfocused”. Another is to add a very slight, subtle “plastic wrap effect”–tweaking the detail until it looks right. That can make things look more “toylike.” A little bump up in color saturation can help with that, too. Emphasizing specular highlights in the image helps, too.

i love f-stop!
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension….
Those words hold true as illustrated above. Fascinating and fun to watch. I would like to see feature films using this technique. It may be simple to some but requires some profound thought to be effective.
you have such a great artistic mind the the way you bring reality to almost a toy state wonderful

This was so beautiful. I spent my entire lunch break watching all of the videos. Thanks for making my day.
I wondering about the music track. Good ones it seems would be copywrited? What are the legalities for publishing this on the net?

I always wondered how people achieve that effect. Very cool technology – would love to get my hands on one of those cameras…

strong stuff!
wow
Read the intro got excited, watched 2 vids and they bored me to death. Looks fascinating if it were 1985.
I write this only in case someone else doesn't have a “wow” response.
Thanks for the exposure but I just don't get it.
That is soooo cooool! Never knew how to do it. Thanks for sharing!
to me the only thing in the videos making everything appear “toy-like” and Miniature” is the use of speeding up the video and filming from a very panoramic vantage point. At the same time, the still frames are pretty effective.
Wow I'm so amazed.. At first I really thought everything in the video are miniature models.
I think it takes a true passion for photography to appreciate what they are displaying here. Like me? I loved this! I think its brilliant!
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but none of these are actually done with a tilt-shift lens, but have been modified afterwards with a bit of guassian blur, unsharp mask and layer masks. You can tell because of the irregular shapes of the sharp areas…
Still nice but SO common now!

I really like the ones titled “Small World” and “Toy Soldiers”, those are really neat.
lol me too. I realize it wasn't miniature
Hi, here is a very similar video, we've done as a student-project at the FH Duesseldorf:

That's pretty dope! Just another example of how bizarre it is that one can manipulate photography in such neat ways. Cool showcase.

Thats pretty awesome. I also found this really shocking, yet entertaining video about a diet coke + mentos + microwave experimnet GONE WRONG video on YouTube.
