[b88104044]

and they are not claymation ? oh my god....stunning amazing masterpiece !

[nulladiniente]

Bellissimo !!

[eveningniteshade]

I could have sworn I"ve seen this before and the highilght was one of the floats letting off fireworks. But there is no fireworks.

Maybe a different edit/version. or maybe the guy that did this, did it the year before also, and I saw the previous years version.

[OZER974]

[unseenTVcrew]

A tilt-shift camera lens, which perceives an extremely shallow depth of field,

Just the distance how did you pull that my still shift is Wide... so its a mix of wide titl shift and long. what Frame Rate did you run with?

Honors to you :-)

[ipodtouchhaving]

FUCKIN GOOD JOB DUDE !!

[leeholmes67]

I got my Mardi Gras costume at Smiffys its so awesome

[jplesk]

Wow, that looks amazing! I swung from real footage to clay animation several times before realising it had to be the real thing, with some clever effects.

[Dkslong]

duuude that took long wow very nice

[imarblooper]

dang, hechka nice/good!

yet i keep thinking this was made with like stop motion dolls and minature toys. cool! haha

[coraltuber]

It's amazing how the focus makes everything look like miniatures. Can't figure it out. Surfaces too clean, smooth. It's an amazing effect. Superb editing.

[louper2006]

friggin awsome !

[katsandroses]

A tilt-shift camera lens, which perceives an extremely shallow depth of field, was used to take photos of real people in the Sydney Mardis Gras. The film is made by stringing photographic stills together to create a time-lapse effect.

[MadeinHell2]

@katsandroses So those are actual people just shot with a specific lens that made them all look like little claymotion miniatures? O_o...

I guess the huge tv kinda fits that... still... damn those cars looked like toys... Those are seriously real people? I didn't know you can do this kind of thing with a specific lens...

[Chameleam]

HOW?

[Galactivo]

Guau!!! animación o realidad??? increibles efectos, es fácil presionar el botón de favoritos, al ver este video.

[davet1515]

una mezcla de las dos cosas. la gente era verdadera pero el escenario era una miniatura.

[Galactivo]

oraleé, tu colaboraste?

[heprebel]

this is my second time watching this and i still LOVE IT!! i honestly thought that those were all miniatures but it's real - just shot with some tpe of special camera or something ... right? please tell me someone didn't do all of this as clay-mation or miniatures?

[katsandroses]

Yes, very encouraging, and beautifully crafted*.

[kilvertm]

Just add blur to the top and bottom of the footage. Simples.

[karlmrshll]

Yea that what it looks like to me as well! simple to get the effect but still well done and creative use of the effect.

[hatchetswngin]

that was awesome

[eliminatorethan1]

2nd question are thease real people or are they some sort of master claymation

[sickbastard151]

reall people. this called tilt shift.. google this

[terminator1111in]

google tilt-shift

[eliminatorethan1]

oh hehe duh thnx

[eliminatorethan1]

wats the song called

[NeonBoneyard]

Throwing Shadows At The Wall-Shawn Lee...it was in the sidebox lol

[MattieCooper]

Groovy~!

[WishFredWasDead]

Wow from all the detail it looks like this would have taken about 1-3 weeks he didi a very good job on this it really is quite amazing

[ghibli303]

I too thought these were toys at first...great effect.

[djpj1111]

[kingfilmuk]

Awesome video.

Marc

KF

[TheKounterkulture]

You couldn't make that up !

[Seminuka]

If nobody told me, I was still thinking these were toys

[smokxx]

For 1 minute I thought all of these are toys

[itslatviangirl]

they are

[person2954]

i know how to make the tilt shift effect and all but i dont know how the make it look like clay so much does anyone know how to make it look more like clay

[drewsindiefilms]

this mustve taken a long time to make, nice work Keith, very creative!!!

[PimPee]

No, this is not done with a 'guassian blur' effect.

[SilentNight700]

Y'all better find different ways to celebrate Mardi Gras next year or else ...You "will" be doomed =D

[iSOBigD]

Most decent video editing software can do a basic gaussian blur on the video's frames. Mask out the middle with a linear gradient going from while to black to white again and you've got yourself a gradient gaussian blur just like in this video.

[pseudonym1964]

I'am assuming that you have lots of videos in Future Shorts... or maybe you are a really good film maker.... not. You are one of these irritating people that talk rubbish all the time: 'a real expert'. Yawn.

[iSOBigD]

I don't think I could have explained it in a less technical or in a simplier way. What part of what I said didn't you get?

I make 3D graphics for video games. I also have a degree in graphic (2D) design and I make videos, do photography, draw, make digital paintings in Photoshop and many other things. Trust me when I say that that is exactly how you would go about getting the effect used in this video.

Also, for help improving colors in images, look up Color Efex Pro 3.

[pseudonym1964]

More Yawning! And no, you didn't understand:

GO AWAY.

[jfunf]

this all video looks like it came out of robot chiken..:)

[plastikbuddha]

very nice tilt-shift video

and nice song))

[NZartfuldando]

It isn't, but the song sort of sounds like New Zealand Drum n Bass band 'Shapeshifter'.

[molochh1]

5*

I don't know what I could say

[KnottedMan]

Tilt shift is a post production effect done with a computer, you basically blur the lower middle portion of the image, bump up the saturation and contrast a bit and use a very slow frame rate and a higher than normal speed. Just add the effects to any video and it's done. Doesn't take very long but relies on the subject matter for really good film and this is a particularly fine example.

[AustinPowers70]

Impressive, and how long must this of taken to shoot ?

[iSOBigD]

I assume a few hours seeing as it starts at night and ends on the same night. :P It's just a matter of keeping the camera in one place and taking pictures constantly. Many cameras can take pictures automatically until the memory card is full, in which case doing this would be extremely easy. If you actually had to hold down the shutter button, it would be a bit boring to do. :P

[obiwanceleri]

Must be stop motion, saw Wallace and Gromit walk by ...

[label1177]

what is the effect called?

[basgras]

tilt-shifting

[label1177]

thanks

[ParkourBlog]

animation is the 'effect' :P

[jfunf]

It is!!! Unbelievable!

[jfunf]

Wait? Is that entire short is stop motion?

[Tomez92]

No it is real footage but they have applied a effect called tilt-shift (which makes it look like it is all very small by canging the camera focus) and just cut out a lot of frames. It gives a funny effect :)

[nanturadu]

i used to do this with pics in photoshop... the effect is even more awesome in film...

[chocokel]

This was freakin' intense!

[AsianCaptainObvious]

Wait a second...

Are those real people?

I can't tell if it's real miniatures or "fake" miniatures

[dragpalace]

I don't know either. I'm wondering it myself.

Someone can tell me?

[LoganThomsen]

the movies that are posted by future shorts are always awesome, how do they do it?

[pfranks44]

Future shorts is basically like a distributor. they don't actually produce all of this work, different artists so and Future Shorts finds it/accepts it and then shows it

[LoganThomsen]

cool thanks, thats what i thought... but the movies are all awesome regardless where theyre from

[gamefreaks21]

Where was this video taken? It's awesome, but it looks more like a gay pride parade than Mardi Gras.

[EUnitIWI]

0:15 boobiessss!

[talktomebitch905]

where where? i looked through the whole movie and not one tit.....thats bull

[meheh]

I like his other videos better. Future Shorts, can you upload better quality versions of these? It doesn't show the awesome quality of his videos. I'm not really a fan of the content of this one, though, anyway. Still interesting, though.

[vicisrussian]

Yupp, its all real events and real videos that have been filmed with the use of tilt/shift lenses, this makes stuff look miniature. Little bit of work afterwards, and wualla... looks just like a cartoon. ^^

[AsianCaptainObvious]

tilt shift lenses; in what way do they tilt/ shift the video? what's tilted/shifted and how?

[zulluey]

the same way u tilt shift a photo in photoshop. instead, now u tilt shift a video in .. After Effects ? :D nice work !!

[vicisrussian]

I am not really sure, but you can look it up on internet, try wikipedia... hope it helps. ;)

[pinthn22]

Ya gotta love a parade

[mariosalgado]

q weba

[heprebel]

nice, thanks for posting. i really thought those it was a miniature set, i was trying to figure out how you made all of the miniatures! now, of course, i understand about the shooting, camera lense - even better!

[Oskar930913]

Good work :)

[henryedward87]

It's not miniatures. It's filmed using a tilt-shift lens, which makes things look miniature. There's better videos by Keith Loutit over on Vimeo (sorry, is that a dirty word on here?).

[welovepies]

WOAH this is fantastic.

[dawgsezwuf]

omfg!! so much work! so beatifull!!1 perfect! ;)

[majormotion731]

I could only imagine how long this took to create. 0_o

Nice job, though. ^_^

[CX118]

actually they are not miniatures, its all real people

[Casadorperfect]

are this real people or what ??

PS : sorry I just can't see the differience.. =(

[RaffoMG]

see the video description, they're miniatures :)

[Casadorperfect]

=O sorry missed the describtion. anyway's thanks ^_^ good video

5/5

[profittlich]

wrong..its real footage of real people but under the tilt-shift-time-lapse effect...look it up

[SpeedFreakNO]

It says that because using tilt/shift lenses this way make things appear to be mineatures, though they're not. It's real stuff.

[RaffoMG]

Ah right... interesting, I've never come across that before!

[JeansTake]

Man future shorts videos are SO cool!!!!!!!! Amazing guys!
