Tilt-Shift Camera -> Photojojo

I saw this affordable tilt-shift camera on a Facebook post today (by Photojojo) at lunch and thought it was pretty great. The images look solid, there are some nice embedded filters and tilt-shift always looks better when thrown by a real lens as opposed to a photoshop post effect, in my opinion… Have a look, [...]

Bold Creative Studio -> NYC Photo Set

Libson, Portugal based agency called ‘Bold Creative Studio’ is responsible for the well processed images of NYC above. I really enjoy the level of desaturation and use of tilt-shift within this set. There are many other nice examples of photography on their portfolio site, as well as some squeaky clean type design. Definitely worth a [...]

24 Hours of Neon -> Philip Bloom

24 Hours of Neon from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.

It’s always entertaining when Mr. Bloom gets his hands on some new technology or equipment. In this video he’s tinkering around with tone mapped HDR timelapses. Some of the footage about half way through towards the end is just jaw dropping. I really dig the pulsating glow he’s [...]

Prime TV Promo -> In Between Magic

This is a terrific promotional video by Belgian agency ‘In Between Magic’ for TV network Prime. The combination of HO scale figures, amazingly detailed effects and shallow DOF camera style make it a fun view. I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of this miniature, tilt-shift trend, especially when produced so well. Have a look [...]

Tilt-Shift Generator -> iPhone App

I just discovered this amazing iPhone app called ‘TiltShift Generator’ available at the app store for just 99¢. It’s a fantastically efficient and easy to use app that generates a very nice tilt-shift effect on your iphone pics. I’ve been trying it on on some of my landscape photos from my Flickr stream as well, [...]

Power -> Filipp Forberg

Power from fom berg on Vimeo.

This unusual video piece embraces an interesting array of audio and visual techniques that come together in a very nice way… low level frequency sound, super slow-pan tilt-shift and a consistent contrast and subtle vignette that really direct one’s attention to each subject. Kind of dark, seems to have an [...]

San Francisco Tilt-Shift: The Miniature City -> MINIMUS

San Francisco: The Miniature City from MINIMUS on Vimeo.

I came across this well done San Francisco tilt-shift by videographer and motion designer MINIMUS on nalden.net today while killing time in between phone calls. I’ve posted a bunch of tilt-shift videos in the past, I just can’t seem to get enough of the effect. I plan to [...]

Miramar Roundabout -> Foxtree Studio (7D Canon EOS)

Ahh, time lapse, tilt-shift, wide angle, night exposure… just pump it straight into my brain already. I love this stuff. As I sit here typing this, I’m about three short days away from receiving my 7D in the mail from B&H Camera in NYC. So as you can imagine, I’m soaking up all the 7D [...]

The Sandpit (NYC tilt-shift) -> Sam O’Hare

There is something wonderful about the contrast of tilt-shift, which makes everything look smaller or ‘toy like’, being applied to BIG NYC scenery. Sam O’Hare has captured some really fantastic HD NYC footage, from multiple vantage points with his Nikon D3. His shoot locations really resonate with me, I actually lived in those blurry buildings across the [...]

‘A Bit of Africa’ Photo Set -> Paolo Novelli

 

I discovered these amazing photos taken by Italian Photographer Paolo Novelli on one of my favorite trend blogs http://www.nalden.net. He is calling this collection ‘A Bit of Africa’. I really like his application of tilt-shift photo styling to these dilapidated and underdeveloped urban settings. Makes for a nice merge of old and new… More of Paolo Novelli’s photos can be [...]

Coney Island Dream -> Joshua Brown

Coney Island Dream from Joshua Brown on Vimeo.

This wonderful capture of NYC historical landmark Coney Island was shot and edited by Joshua Brown using a 5D and Final Cut Pro, graded with Magic Bullet Looks. The mood is thickened by wintry beach scenery and forgotten places all enhanced by some interesting tilt-shift effects and muted [...]

McCann Malmö Tilt-Shift -> Colorama – Makeover

This is a pretty amazing tilt-shift short by agency McCann Malmö. They take the shooting style to the next level by adding in the effect of a giant hand that enters the scene and interplays with the action in humorous ways. Below are some behind the scenes shots of the production of this video, revealing [...]

Toy Soldiers -> Alta Media Productions

Toy Soldiers from Alta Media Productions on Vimeo.

The highly entertaining tilt-shift video above was created by Paris based production company Alta Media Productions. I find the use of tilt-shift while documenting a military parade to be highly animated and very satirical. At one point there is a series of smoke trail flybys from what I [...]
