Using a small Flip Video camera, Final Cut Pro and judicious use of the gaussian blur filter, this clever media maker has simulated the effects of a tilt-shift photographic lens — a lens that yields an infinitesimal depth of field when shooting subjects in the distance.  The resulting images can make large objects look tiny — like they were photographed on a miniature scale.  Real tilt-shift photography requires a special lens, but this technique is much simpler.
