ilikeriding Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) is that not just putting a camera somewhere for ages then speeding the footage up?was really good whatever it was Edited April 27, 2009 by ilikeriding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 is that not just putting a camera somewhere for ages then speeding the footage up?was really good whatever it wasWell yeah, it's stop motion, but he's used a tilt shift lens to make everything look "weird".

Luke Rainbird Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 what exactly does a tilt shift lens do ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photographyDistorts the image to tweak the perspective and give a limited depth of field, apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 In layman's terms, it makes whatever you look at through it look like toys.That video's so cool, the helicpoter looks like a little plastic thing you could get in toys r us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 In layman's terms, it makes whatever you look at through it look like toys.Erm, that's a post processing feature. A tilt shift lens allows for full control of the image in lateral and parallel planes, excellent for building photography as the building can be made to look straight instead of like its leaning everywhere after a drunken night out like you'd get with a standard type lens.

rocktrials Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I believe you can replicate images like this by using Photoshop? blurring top and bottom and something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The Mardi Gras video he does reminds me of Celebrity Death match for some reason. Brilliant though, canon lens is roughly £1250... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Erm, that's a post processing feature.Probably. You can certainly get the "toy" effect with Tilt/shift lenses although that wasn't the original intention. Nowadays most people will just use a standard lens and photoshop, so I presume that's what's happened here. Tilt-shift lenses are expensive.A tilt shift lens allows for full control of the image in lateral and parallel planes, excellent for building photography as the building can be made to look straight instead of like its leaning everywhere after a drunken night out like you'd get with a standard type lens.I think the 'shift' part corrects the parallel lines thing as you've described. The 'tilt' part is to align the focal plane with whatever you want, allowing a greater part of the image to be focussed in certain situations (E.g. something sloping away from you can be entirely in focus). You can "abuse" this feature of the lens and manipulate the focal plane in a way that makes only a small part of the image in focus. This is what you''re seeing with the "toy" effect. P.S. I may have got tilt / shift the wrong way round in the explanationP.P.S I'm sure this is all in the wikipedia article explained much better!

I very nearly bought one a while ago for some architectural based uni work but the cost didn't outweigh the use it would get due to it being such a specific lens. Dunno where i got the post processing thing from, i just remember reading it somewhere recently about miniature faking being a post processing feature. I did wonder as the design of the lens would allow for someone to use that feature fairly easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
