Fire (Jimmy Edgar Remix) from Erik West on Vimeo.
In regard to my tilt-shift photography related post a couple weeks ago “Everybody’s Tilt Shifting – and I like it”. This video called “Fire” by Erik West is another interesting example of this trendy photographic/film style. Shot in Milwaukee, WI, during a pretty significant snow storm, all of the tilt-shift effects were added in post and most of the footage was captured by with a simple point and shoot camera -> Canon Powershot SD630. I am now completely convinced that this effect can be pulled off successfully without an expensive HD setup. The music track by Codebreaker feat and Kathy Diamond is pretty catchy as well.

None of the snow in this piece is simulated. I went out and show on the snowiest days of winter. The last scenes in the video were shot during a blizzard.
This was shot on a Canon Powershot SD630 Point & Shoot.
Additional footage was shot on a Sony EX1 by Jeff Thomas.
