I have recently discovered a technique in photography called “Tilt-Shift Miniature Faking“, via an article on Gizmodo.com.

The technique uses “Tilt-Shift Photography” to make a life size subject appear like a miniature scale model. The effect is achieved by distorting the focus in order to simulate a very shallow depth-of-field. This makes  the scene seem much smaller than it actually is and is further exaggerated by taking the picture from a high angle.

Bellow are two amazing videos by Photographer/Videographer Keith Loutit. They combine Time-Lapse with “Tilt-Shift Photography“. The outcome is nuts.
