Based in Auckland and Christchurch this is the Dukes second video, Self Control using the very cool effect of Tilt shift miniature effect photography. Influenced by Olivio Barbieri, Keith Loutit and Richard Scarry among others. A portrait of Christchurch from the point of view of a strange girl.
Heres a bit about how Tilt-shift works and click here for a wiki. Tilt-shift lenses sit off-center of the film (or sensor) plane of your camera to produce photos with extremely limited depth of field, giving the effect of a macro shot of a tiny scene. When the effect is matched with the surreal speed boost of many stills strung together into a time-lapse movie, we get the impression of a everything as miniatures.
