| Some day in the future someone will come across the anchient technique of using Tilt-shift to shoot tall buildings. It will cause quite a stir... |

I'm sure that  Bear_Music can fill us in on that technique. It seems that now days, it's used for the exact opposite of what it was back in the days of view cameras.

| There's also Uniqlo's calendar. It looked really great when I saw a large screen version in one of their stores in Tokyo. |

| When people shoot a scene that looks to be in fast-forward, are they generally shooting still frames and then stringing them together, or are they shooting video and using a program to remove frames? I think it'd be a fun thing to try. |

Yes, In another country, long ago, real men used very large cameras with black hoods to cover their heads, and the cameras had both tilt AND shift on both the front element AND the rear element, and these controls were used to keep the verticals vertical and everyhting IN focus :-) My, how things have changed!

You can do that either way. One way is with an interval timer, which is a built in feature on some cameras, shooting frames at regular intervals with the camera on a tripod. The other way is to shoot video and pick frames out at regular intervals along the time line. The frames are then strung together as a video, or as a .gif or .mov ect file.
Re, Robert's comment. It threw me for a loop when the first "Tilt Shift" challenge images were posted. My thoughts were that the images would be excellent and technically sharp and straight from corner to corner. I guess that the meaning of the term has been tilted and shifted. I am glad that I didn't enter a shot done with the old 35mm PC Nikkor to square up the verticals in that challenge. The new cam I am using can do perspective control in editing in camera, so it makes the old PC Nikkor totally obsolete, except that it is still a beautiful and sharp lens to work with. The new cam can also do the OOF T&S that is currently in vogue, by editing and making a copy of an existing image in the camera. The image that I posted was done that way. It is a nice technique for certain subjects where you want to place focus on a horizontal line in the frame, but subjects need to be carefully selected and photographed for it to be pleasing and effective.
Some of the old large format cameras also had adjustments to allow you to move the corners of the film plane, allowing still another way of fine tuning areas of focus in the image.

It is cool...however, the first 15 seconds are the best...it seems that my brain catches on after that and the illusion is lost...at least for me.
I do think the "stop motion" quality makes the "video" work better. Seems if it was in regular motion, it wouldn't have the same effect.
