Hey everyone,Check this cool video out. It is a day at the Magic Kingdom, but something is different. It seems like it is a miniature or model of the park.....but it's not. It's called a new filming technique called "tilt shifting." Here is the filmaker's remarks about how he did it:
This type of project has never been attempted at Disney Parks. How’d you make it work?
It was a lot of trial and error. My first two or three trips out of the box I was like, ‘This is not going to work.’ It’s a combination of your height on the scene and in the Magic Kingdom Park there’s just not a lot of fixed platforms where you can lock a camera off for five minutes without it moving. But there’s also lightning and consistency of exposure. We started this in the middle of summer and if you start a sequence and a little cloud comes by, you need to start it over again because the clouds darken the scene so much. So, it was very trial and error. This was on the job training for me. Nikon makes three tilt-shift lenses, they’re basically architectural lenses and we’re using them in a diametrically opposed application than what they’re built for. They’re built to actually allow you to increase the focal plane in a scene and make everything in focus. For tilt-shift, we turn them the opposite way and back tilt the focal plane so that hardly anything is in focus. And that creates that miniaturation effect.
Sounds a little complicated, but ENJOY!!!!! Let me know what you think!!
Love,
Uncle Shawn & Uncle Ted
