The detail is incredible? Real life's like that I guess.

You didn't think this was animated, did you? It's Tilt Shift timelapse.

A tilt-shift lens isn't required for the tilt-shift effect.

Yet another completely awesome thing that would have been ridiculously expensive to film without drones.

Not sure if this is truly tilt-shift, as all the focus blur is computer generated. Probably just being pedantic.

I prefer my real tilt-shift lens.

Ugh. I'm going to start downvoting faux tilt-shift eventually....

Would have been even better if shot with a proper tilt/shift lens, but that is details..

*promote tilt shifts!

Thanks!
(Gotta make some of my own some day - I have a 24mm tilt/shift lens.. )

I love tilt shifts! *promote

maybe a bit of Tilt Shift goin on here, no?

I disagree on the tilt-shift lens (I own one, by the way) - I just think they used a fast wide-aperture lens - they just used it at full aperture and changed the plane of focus back and forth. This is just the simple effect of adjusting the focus. On the shots where everything was in focus they stopped down to get everything sharp.
On the low depth of field shots the camera and lens pivot on a fixed tripod, and you wouldn't get any perspective changes - the camera does not move.
I'm guessing that this was shot with a 70-200/2.8, which is capable of some rather low DoF shots when focused close like this.

I think you're on the right track but have it backwards.

I think they were flat sheets the whole time but they're using a tilt-shift lens during the zoom shot to simulate depth of field and make it look like parts of the object are further away.

On the first one, the globe, there is writing on the sheet of paper "under" the globe, yet the perspective never changes; we never see a little bit more of the writing peek out or get obscured as the camera pans around. I'm sure we'd have seen a little bit of this if it were a real object.

FAKE! That's QM in a gorilla costume made to look small through tilt shift.

I can tell by the voice.

I love tilt shifts! And Wellington looks gorgeous!
