Tilt-shift miniature faking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tilt-Shift Miniature Faking is a process in which a photograph of a real location or object is manipulated so that it looks like a photograph of a scale-model miniature. By distorting the focus of the photo, the artist fools the eye into believing that the distances in the photograph are much smaller than they really are.

[edit] Techniques

The effect can be achieved organically by using a tilt-shift lens. It can be achieved digitally by blurring the top and bottom of the photograph so that only the subject is in focus.

[edit] Trivia

Photographs taken with the technique appear to be used in a current set of bumps on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim nighttime lineup.
