Sydney Telstra 500 - Slot car V8's Tilt and Shift

I'm crossposting this with the Lounge. This video takes a real event and makes it look fake through tilt-shift time lapse photography. I thought it was a kinda cool effect created with optics rather than digital editing.

I like that the video on the screen looks more real than the actual event.

I have always laughed that we spend lots of dollars for cameras and lenses and then try to replicate pinholes and other primitive equipment.

I've toyed around with the idea of getting a view camera for just that reason, although now there are digital effects that can mimic the effect so it's not as novel as it was.
