I'm not much of a baseball fan but you don't have to be to like this.

This is an example of Tilt Shift Photography or video.

It's a concept where the surround edges of a the frame are blurred so it makes the object in focus appear smaller, newer DSLR cameras that can do video can utilize prime lens' which are a fixed focal range but can achieve a very low apeture and some lens's are specifically designed for Tilt Shift Photography.

In short, it makes real life look like models.

I'll post a few other of my favorite Tilt Shift videos.

vimeo is like a youtube without all the crap.

Here are a few of my favorite Tilt Shift videos.

These are all real videos, they are just sped up a bit and in the Tilt Shift format, I could watch these all day.

I just thought I'd share.

Some of the boat ones and construction ones really remind me of LEGO since all ELGO is is real life stuff in a smaller form, especially when I see large cities built or giant MOC's, I think of tilt shift stuff.

Great find. I really enjoy these videos, although they don't really remind me of Lego, but yes, they are both stop motion

Interesting vid. I liked it. I'm really not a baseball fan, but I can tell the maker is a fan and a New Yorker. The music seems anachronistic compared to the slobby dress of a contemporary baseball fan, but that's a small critique. I liked the music, it was just classier than the images

Anyway, I dig tiltshift stuff, and did a bunch of those photos myself. You can Photoshop fake them, but it's best to take the photo from overhead, and have an easy line of perspective. If you're interested, I'll tell you more.

I like those, they sure are great. They are really cool, but they don't quite remind me of lego. I'd say they more remind me of the miniature models you see around museums, etc.

def that's awesome, I've been learning how to do it but I don't have any good photo's to try it on.
