Tilt. Shift. Go!

The tilt-shift miniaturizing effect that has gained popularity in recent years has made the jump to motion picture. Sydney based photographer Keith Loutit has combined the tilt-shift effect with time-lapse photography to create some fascinating short films like the one below shot on Mardi Gras. Check out his vimeo page to see a bunch of other really fun films.

For those of you who are curious about how to create your own miniature effects using the computer (you can also buy special lenses) check out this tutorial on TiltShiftPhotography.net
