Yeap, one appealing aspect of tilt-shot time-lapse photography/videography is that everything appears to be miniature models. How adorable! I'm equally amazed that he wrote his own music ;) techno and hip, fits the overall feel of his video as well. Thanks for the compliments, Trina!

Of course, genuine ones can only be created using special tilt-shift lenses, which will definitely punch a gigantic big hole in your wallet. Usually how I achieve the tilt-shift effect is to copy the background layer ([Ctrl] + [J]), and then blurring the new layer. After that, apply a layer mask and paint away areas that you want to appear clearly in focus (for that, paint black on areas of the layer mask to mask/hide the blurred layer). For a more realistic effect, you can draw a black-white gradient instead of painting using a brush. The effect you’re talking about can be achieved easily with the help of photoshop.

I love the time-lapse videos you share. This one is soo cool. I love how it all seems like small toys. Even the people! haha, I love it. And he made his own music, too? Very awesome guy, indeed. It sounds like something you'd hear in final fantasy or something, hehe. <abbr><em>Check out Latrina’s latest blog post » <a href="http://www.blistersinmay.org/2009/06/07/a-boost-in-self-confidence/" rel="nofollow">A boost in self confidence.</a></em></abbr> OMG!
