By now you’ve seen a tilt shift video somewhere online. You know, those kind of videos where real life locations and people seem like miniatures, usually amazing videos (which also attracts a lot of views).

Now there’s a new project at Wooshii (worth $40.000) and we thought we’d put here a top 5 tilt shift videos list so you can get some inspiration.

First off, take a look at Bathtub. Done by Australian tilt shift maestro Keith Louti.

Awesome stuff right? Be sure to check out his page on Vimeo, a lot of other really cool tilt shift videos there.

Next up is a video by Sam O’Hare, with The Sandpit. It had 1.4 million views on Vimeo in 4 months, which is a lot in there.

The third example on our top 5 comes from Alta Media Productions in Paris, France: Toy Soldiers.

Next is the result of a Disney Parks effort, showcasing Walt Disney World in Florida “from another perspective” as they say on their description of the video.

So you see this type of technique isn’t just being used for personal projects, commercial ones also.

Great title on this one also: A Model Day at Magic Kingdom.

Finally, our last but not least on the top 5 tilt shift videos, comes from a music video for Thom Yorke, Radiohead’s frontman, done by Bent Image Lab.

It’s another take on tilt-shift, using innovative methods (check the Vimeo page for the video for the description of the process), although mostly present on the first part of the video.

For the song “Harrowdown Hill”, here’s the music video:

So you see the use of tilt-shift has been from personal projects, to ads, passing by music videos, a lot of potential on this technique.

I hope this brought you some inspiration and and if you want to know more about it, check out the great discussion going on at our forum.
