I used Sony Vegas. Its made up of a few color adjustment effects, a blurred copy of the video and alpha gradient PNG for the depth of field effect. And of course sped up.

Please can you tell me how you did it, i really need to know how to do it using vegas???!1!!

In Vegas, i had two tracks of the clip on the timeline (both sped up and color corrected) and blurred the bottom track. Then I created a black and white gradient PNG that was matched up to the clip so the white area of the PNG would be clear and the black area would be blurry. I applied the PNG as an alpha mask to the clear clip track so the blurred track would show thru. As mentioned in other comments, its framerate is too high and needs to be cut down.

@sveilien I do not agree. The framerate is perfect. It fits the miniature look. Very nice work by the way.

yay! XD

@puttings I agree on that one. As we can see, result is already very good. Less frames would give even better result.

@gimlitheone Imo it works best at 4 FPS. 24/25 FPS is just too much and takes away alot of the miniature effect. This would have ben 10 times as good if he shortened the amount of fps :)

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. :)
