My last video showed you how to make a scale model look life-size, and now we’re going to make life-size objects look like scale models using a tilt shift lens!
I borrowed a 24mm Rokinon tilt shift lens for this video, and it seems to be pretty decent, but it’s also the only tilt shift lens I’ve ever used. My goal in making this video isn’t to talk about or review specific pieces of gear, but to explore techniques and effects that are fun to learn. But if you’re curious, here’s an affiliate link to this specific lens:

Tilt shift lenses do two things: tilt and shift (shocking, I know). These small changes make a BIG impact by changing the angle of the plane between the lens to the camera’s sensor.
There are a lot of instances when tilt shift can come in handy. Tilt shift lenses let you take architectural photos without any distortion, you can become extremely selective with focus to direct the viewers attention to a specific part of an image, and even do some pretty unique effects like giving the appearance of filming directly in front of a mirror. (in this instance the camera was positioned just outside of the mirror’s view and shifted to give the perspective of looking into the mirror).
Of course the most commonly seen use of tilt shift photography is using the altered plane of focus to affect the scale of your subject. When photographed from from a distance, and especially from a high angle, people, buildings, and even entire towns begin to look like pieces of a scale model diorama.
In all honesty, software filters can do a great job of replicating the tilt shift effect, and they’re SUPER easy to use. So there’s no reason NOT to just use your phone to take a photo, play around with tilt shift, and then shrink your world to look like a scale model.
