is this true?I can hardly image such places in shanghai.....

I still think that the angle of the focus plane is very aggressive. I thought of a tilt-shift lens first, but got the feeling it was PP. You're right though, it could be tilt-shift.

I have this camera. And yes you're right about the sensor, but that has nothing to do with the type of blur seen here, where the focus plane is obviously tilted (if it's tilt-shift) or has been added in PP. Also, lenses play the most important part in establishing shallow DOF, and sensor size to a lesser extent.

As a photographer you should know that it was a Tilt-shift lens ;-)

[hyperman514]

"Maybe as a photographer one notices these things more than a regular viewer. But it's a bit distracting to see blur where the depth of field doesn't match up."

This was filmed using the new Canon 5d MkII and the greatest advantage of that camera is the 35mm sensor that gives you control over the DOF, exactly like a 35mm cine camera would. it gives you a cinematographic look that no other video camera on the market can provide. Most vid camera only have small sensors (11mm max) and no DOF.
