    Very cool! Fair play to you. I really enjoyed it. The dof was a little too shallow for me in parts, however it did give an excellent miniature/toy affect.

    Would love to hear more about how you made it

    Thanks Zascar,

    I took all the shots using a Canon Mark II camera. From there it was just a matter of selecting the best groups of shots and adjusting it within aftereffects. Added the blur/tilt effect and increased the saturation to unrealistic proportions.

    Like it a lot. I'm a fan of the tilt shift although I thought at times your plane in focus was in the wrong place. I'm not a fan of over saturation but funny enough I think it works here - especially the green grass - really makes it look like miniature models.
    I take it it was shot as time lapse rather than video and the fake TS added in in post?

    Thanks for feedback pullandbang. I think your right about the focus, for the next one I think i might pay closer attention to that, and perhaps even pan the camera in post. I'm not normally into the over saturated look either actually, but agree that it does a job to helps it look like a toy model. It was actually shot as a series of stills, with each section grouped together. Aftereffects enabled me to speed it up, add in the ts and over saturated look. Thank again for the interest! :-)
