Tilt-Shift Video Makes Big Things Look Small

Metal Heart from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

Tilt-shift photography can be used for many things, but one of the more interesting is a technique used to trick the mind into thinking very large things are very small. Tilt-shift takes advantage of our familiarity with very close up images of small things, where the object of interest is in focus, but everything else is progressively blurred.
