A Lilliputian World

Posted by Ali S. in Arts & Crafts, Science & Tech, Video Clips on November 6, 2008 at 8:44 pm



Beached from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

Using tilt-shift lenses Keith Loutit created two really neat videos that make it look like we are viewing Lilliputians enjoying a day at the beach and zooming about on their boats…their tiny tiny model boats! Enjoy! ;)

    Hey thanks for posting this, Ali. I saw it few weeks ago and was absolutely floored. Tilt-shift is the bomb!

    Does this software do anything but put the foreground and background of a photo out of focus? True, that's a characteristic of *poorly photographed* miniatures, but it just doesn't seem that impressive.

    @RNB
    While these weren't created with software, you CAN easily achieve the same effect with the Lens Blur tool in Photoshop.

    No, it does the opposite. I think. I'm pretty sure it makes little toys look like real things. But I'm not positive.
