Model Photography Techniques
Can tilt-shift photography be done on a video camera?
I’m sure you’ve seen those photos of what looks like small models, but really are the real thing, due to tilt-shift technique.
Can this be achieved on videocamera? If so, how? BTW, I’m using Final Cut Pro to edit so if there are any techniques in that, too, I’d love to hear about them.

You have a few options for selective DOF-
The simplest way to put a clear filter on the front and use Vaseline to blur the areas you want.
A more precise way is to get a swing and tilt lens, or a Lensbaby, and mount it to the videocam with a DOF adapter like Brevis, Letus35 or Redrock.
You can do it with a blur filter in FCP as well, but it doesn’t look as good.
You can see a sample of a Lensbaby at the link below.

Architectural Model Building: Tools, Techniques, and Materials $80 Advances in computer aided design have proven to be an invaluable tool for the architect and designer, yet Frank Gehry still begins his creative process by making “simple” models out of modest materials. Drawings and video, while an essential part of the design process, are still not substitutes for the tactile sensation one receives from a scale model. Drawing on 20 years experience in art and architecture, the author has developed this book on model making as it applies to students and professionals of the built environment. More than 300 photographs illustrates a multitude of techniques and the use of a wide variety of materials, providing a solid foundation for students and professionals to create and enjoy three-dimensional model making for interior design, architecture, landscape architecture, furniture design, theatrical design, and retail merchandising. |
