Planet and Star Size Comparison in HD

You may have seen a planet and star size comparison before but this one is beautifully crafted and looks stunning in full-screen HD.

Choir uses hands to create a thunderstorm

I was blown away by how realistic their thunderclaps sound – and the song is good too.

The Cigarette Trick

Short and sweet. A cigarette is tossed and caught in the mouth, then a lit match is tossed and caught in the mouth to light the cigarette.

What IS this creature?!?

So far, no one on VideoSift has come to any verifiable conclusion on what this creature is. The closet guess is a head crab. ;) Calling all cryptozoologists, we need your help.

Tilt-Shift video of trains in Switzerland

Wonderful tilt-shift video of trains in the villages of Sisikon and Göschenen in Switzerland. Created by Andi Leemann and Jeri Peier. They used two EOS 5D Mark II cameras, a Canon 90mm TS-E f/2.8 and a Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 combined with a 1.4x converter. (and polarisation filters)

Bathtub IV

Posted by Ali S. in Video Clips on April 28, 2009 at 2:02 pm


Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

Keith Loutit’s work has been presented on Neatorama in the past in “A Lilliputian World” and in “A Little Mardi-Gras” and each time it blew people away. Using his impressive skill with tilt-shift photography and filming he pumps out videos and pictures that present the illusion of miniatures brought to life. In this video Keith got to film a rescue training session with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

A Little Mardi-Gras

Posted by Queuebot in Video Clips on March 12, 2009 at 9:43 am


(vimeo link)

Photographer Keith Loutit has mastered the art of tilt-shift photography– that is, a technique requiring a special camera lens to impart the illusion that what you’re looking at are miniatures, not life-sized human beings. When he locks the camera down and shoots hundreds of successive pics, it becomes a movie. He recently took his camera down to Sydney’s Mardi Gras celebration to capture the doll-sized fun.

Over 300,000 people lined the route of this years Mardi Gras parade, which marched up Oxford and Flinders streets in Sydney’s inner-city Darlinghurst this Saturday.

If you were there on the night: I tried to capture as much as the event as possible.

Just think: once, filmmakers used models and stop-motion effects to try and make scenes look like they were real. Now filmmakers are taking actual footage and using effects to make it look like a stop-motion claymation project! Link
