Two Aussie cities in miniature

2 videos make Melbourne and Sidney look teeny-tiny

Australia is a lively huge country where there's so much to explore. Melbourne and Sydney are two of the main reasons that make Australia a must-go destination.

Although they are metropolis where hundreds of thousands people live, we just like the idea of showing them from an unusual perspective, which is by means of fantastic videos that make them look teeny-tiny.

The peculiar effect of these videos has been obtained by means of a photo tecnique called Tilt-Shift, which simulates miniaturized scenes through depth of field methods with special optical lenses or in digital post-production. Images look so fluid because of the Time Lapse technique, which has already been mentioned in one of our articles about New Zealand.

Let's start with Miniature Melbourne, a video by Nathan Kaso, Australian photographer with a particular passion for landscape photography. In a 4-minute video 10 months of real life in Melbourne are squeezed.

This is Tiny Sidney, a video by Filippo Rivetti, photographer from Milan, Italy, who has been living in Australia and loving its wonderful landscapes for quite a while. In his video Sydney looks extraordinary, almost a toy.
