"THIS short film shows incredible images of New York — painstakingly recreated using tiny handmade models."

haha what a load of rubbish, its clearly tilt shift, how on earth would they model the things happening i.e. water coming from jets on ferry, down draft from chopper etc.

Exactly. Lack of boobs in the article means no real thought went into it.

US Artist Sam O'Hare created his film "The Sandpit" using hi-tech tilt-shift camera techniques — which make everything look like miniature models.

Quick edit?

The very first cameras came with tilt-shift lens, any large-format view camera has some tilt-shift capabilities - been around since the 1800s!

You can't fake the results of a Tilt-shift lens!

A Tilt-shift lens is not used to make things look minature, this is just a modern fad. A Tilt-Shift lens is used to correct perspective, to allow selective focusing, or to maximise the effective DoF with the Scheimpflug principle.

Even for making fake minatures, the out-of-focus blur is not fathfully recreated in software and the results are immediately differentiable from using a tilt-shift lebs.
