+1 for wolf and pig. I remember seeing that and going WOW. Coincidentally there's a new bank ad in oz that i suspect has been influenced by all the great tilt shift vids on vimeo.
the ep1 film was great, but what about this? www.vimeo.com/chriswhitmore
[see flipbook film]
[before the jump, its from a D70 not an ep1]
maybe its like the effect you were talking about? about 20k images.
