I love this - People watching is the best - sort of puts the world into a different perspective and that's wahat all good art should do.
Michael Rissi 1 year ago

That playmobile effect is cool! If only there were a train :-)

Thanks Steve, Michael.

Hello great and simple
why dont available for downloading?
Ben Garvin 1 year ago

This is great. a question--how'd you achieve the shallow depth of field? And why does it seem like it's miniature set? The angle or light or something seems almost artificial.
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Thanks for the comment Ben. I use a series of tilt shift lenses.
Jeremiah Jacobs 1 year ago

The tilt-shift effect was done with lenses or in post?
Christopher Prouse 1 year ago

Just created the same effect in post with photoshop cs3 extended here!: vimeo.com/1924007
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Hi Jeremiah - Lenses.
Jesse Nichols 1 year ago

hilarious!!! can you do more like this in other settings? Parks, malls, any populated place would be just fine. Something about this video just made me grin.
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Thanks Jesse - I plan to :) thanks for your comment.
Dave Christenson 1 year ago

there are alot of photoshop tutorials out there on how to do this to stills, which i have tried, but i didnt think to do it to video, even cooler that you didnt do it in post. Looks cool.

There's a company called Lensbaby that makes bellowed lenses for 35mm cameras. This would work if you have a SLR lens mount.
Stefan Gilgen 1 year ago

Nope, that's not true. Lensbabies won't do the same effect.
Sean Servis 11 months ago

yes they do
Mathew Tataryn 1 year ago

So very cool. I love it
cyesergio 1 year ago

You know what's scary...I just finished reading the 5D preview and went to vimeo to see if Vincent Laforet's video was up here...while I was typing the url I imagined how cool it would be to shoot a sequence with a tilt-shift lense...and there was your movie on the front page! lol. Kudos!

Luke 1 year ago

Brilliant.

I suspect it won't be long before we see some advertising creatives nicking the idea for some commercial.
Ed Macovaz 1 year ago

Never seen tilt shift video before. Awesome.

Any plans for other Sydney scenes?
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Hi Ed,

Yes - I have 3 collections I'm close to releasing. Weather has been working against me unfortunately but I expect to post something this weekend. Thanks for asking.
Ed Macovaz 1 year ago

I know what you mean. The way things are in Sydney at the moment you'd be lucky to have the same weather for an hour.

Look forward to seeing the new vids.
Pompo Bombacci 1 year ago

so the vids are created with a dslr with a tilt and shift lens then?
Keith Loutit 1 year ago

Hi Pompo - That's right.

Terry Tolleson 1 year ago

That is the first time I have ever seen a tilt-shift video. Simply amazing!!

Can't wait to see more.
peter bill 1 year ago

Hi-

did you use one of the medium format lens hacks floating around to create your effect? one uses a bathroom plunger+medium format lens- or a PB-4 hacked by a japanese guy... what SPECIFIC lens did you use?
i just made one at JFK airport with a lensbaby- but i am unsatisfied with the optics...and i am too poor for the nikon 24mm PC lens, which i gather will not get the radical effect you have achieved so briliiantly...
Yanni Batsios 1 year ago

That was sweet!
Faye 1 year ago

These videos (and photography - visited your site) make me think of humans as a little infestation or something on the planet earth. It makes me feel weird, looking at these. A new perspective on the way we spend our lives. Utterly fascinating - good job!
