This Tutorial Will Show You How to Fake Tilt Shift Videos
You’ve probably seen funny time-lapse videos in which objects appear miniature , like toys or models, in a realistic-looking environment. This style requires a tilt and shift lens , but this tutorial shows you how to create the effect without it.
This tutorial is adapted from Rob and Jonas’s Filmmaking Tips and explains the step-by-step process for creating a tilt-tilt effect. He tells you how to shoot footage to optimize it, and then explains how to process it in Final Cut Pro. As PetaPixel points out, the tutorial emphasizes grain and saturation in post-processing, making the effect more effective.
… you can trick your viewers into seeing the result as a miniature world rather than just a regular image with added blur. You are trying to make it look like a scale model, and we are used to scaling the models (toys in general) so that they are colorful and bright, and not dull and muted, as is often the case in our world. Ignore this advice at your own risk.
If instead ofthis you are using Premiere, inthis video tutorial explains how to do this, using the same general process, but with Premiere parameters. To find out more, watch the full video above or follow the link below.
