5 Quick Tips to Create Tilt-Shift Time Lapse Videos:

1) Get some tilt-shift lens (we assume you have the camera). If you want just to experiment – ask your friends, maybe they have this type of lens as they are pretty expensive.

2) Think about some interesting scenes to shoot. Scene should include some moving objects as they look very interesting in your ‘miniature’ world. People, cars etc works great!

3) Experiment how fast to take shots. there are no standarts how much frames per second you should take, just play arond and see what works for you best.

4) Try to shoot from above. Remember – you are trying to create miniature effect!

5) Search for some great music track as it helps to create right feeling. You can also play with frames, even add some effects that match music when editing video.
