These are some of the coolest videos I’ve seen all week…nay month.

Tilt-shift videography, or miniature faking photography is a clever photographic technique that manipulates the focus and lighting of footage to create an interesting effect.

There are two camera movements involved – Tilt: this is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus; Shift: this is used to control perspective.

In the videos below, Aussie photographer, Keith Loutit combines the tilt-shift effect with a timelapse effect and the results are…well, watch the videos and tell me what you think.

You can also view them in HD if you really want to be impressed.
