Miniature Nice And Tilt Shift

Nissa Miniatura from Pan Bagnat on Vimeo.

This video of Nice was captured using a technique known as tilt shifting, which creates the illusion that you're looking at a miniature set.  Using overly saturated colors, strategically placed blurs and depth of field, the world through the lens is turned into something resembling a toy set.

A different tilshift of Disneyland Paris after the jump!


The difference with the Disneyland tilt shift example is that the photographer used time lapse photography, over 4,000 photos in fact to create a stop motion effect by skipping frames.  In my opinion this was a much more successful attempt in selling the entire miniature toy effect theme that tilt shift photography usually tries to recreate.  Lets not forget the advantage of filming an area which was created to look like a giant play set.
