    Beached from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

    This cute video by Keith Loutit shows tilt-shifted beach scenes that make everyone look like mini-mes on a mission. The technique, which uses reduced depth of field tricks to make things look “tiny” is actually on optical illusion. We’re used to “focusing” on things close up and leaving the rest of the field of vision blurry so by recreating this on film or video we essentially convince our brains that we’re watching something amazingly tiny.
