Is it stop motion animation or real?


Mardi Gras from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

A nice posting from Neatorama featuring a weird photography technique that makes real images look like stop motion.

Photographer Keith Loutit has mastered the art of tilt-shift photography– that is, a technique requiring a special camera lens to impart the illusion that what you’re looking at are miniatures, not life-sized human beings. When he locks the camera down and shoots hundreds of successive pics, it becomes a movie. He recently took his camera down to Sydney’s Mardi Gras celebration to capture the doll-sized fun.

When Adult Swim had tiltshift bumps I thought it was a technique of the Photoshop era. Nope, it's about as old as SLR cameras with detachable lenses. Too bad there wasn't music to go with it.
