Title: Tilt Shift
Post by: Gina on May 13, 2012, 12:03:21 AM: http://vimeo.com/4946315 (http://vimeo.com/4946315)

I found this a couple years ago. I didn't know what tilt shift photography was back then and I thought it was all a toy replica.

Silly me. Enjoy.

Imagine that all it takes to make everything look so small is this effect. I really enjoyed the clip and the fresh music too :)

Thanks!

Eirik

BTW: Here is the real toy replica but on a large scale. ;)

Post by: acomplishedartis on May 14, 2012, 02:06:41 AM: I saw the video before reading the what you said about it and thought it was a toy replica as well. ha. Then I thought, that is how they make (or used to make) special effects in movies...silly me,

Now I have to see it again with a different perspective...

Is it not strange how the perspective that we watch at things can rely so much on the context that we give to them?

I think this is how WE (the ones who are trying to take serious the Scriptures) can be able to see and learn from things differently than the majority around us, even so we live on same environments.

I think what makes the first one seem artificial is the extreme cleanliness of the roads and tracks.
We don't usually see that in the U. S.

The music was cool too, thanks for sharing Gina. :)

Great,

I think it was captured in Switzerland or Germany, and both are known for their extreme cleanliness. But upon further research ;) I learned that what they typically do with these tilt shift videos is enhance the color so that everything looks much more sharp and vibrant, therefore, kind of make believe. It's really cool, still.
