Tilt-Shift: A New Perspective on Liberty City (Found via YouTube)

Posted on July 6 2011, 10:45am | Author: R* S | Filed Under: Games

You may have heard of the concept of tilt-shift photography before, but even if you haven't you've almost certainly seen it. It's the ability to manipulate focus and depth of field on an image or video of the real world in order to make it look like a miniature, almost toy-like diorama. This neat video we discovered via Machinima, captured by GTA fan OfficialNerdCubed, presents Grand Theft Auto IV's Liberty City as an intricate bonsai city full of tiny, serene tai-chi enthusiasts, busy little pedestrians, model cars and exquisite toy trains.
