I love New York!
I liked the video, but then I read the director’s description of how it was done. Turns out the tilt-shift effect was done “in post,” not with a tilt-shift lens. Once I found out it’s “fake” tilt-shift, I didn’t think it was that cool any more. I mean, the maker put a tremendous amount of work into it, I guess I’m just old-school…
