So I'm working with a band to make a music video, and one of the main themes is toys. Everybody knows tilt shift photography because of it's novelty of making things look miniature (and not for it's real applications in architecture, etc).
I would like to shoot some of the establishing performance shots with this miniature effect, but I've never shot with a tilt shift lens before.
I shoot with an EF mount, so they'd have to be ef.
I see that canon offers 17, 24, 45, and 90mm tilt shift lenses. I would preferably only rent two of them, if multiple are necessary.
At what minimum focal length do you begin to achieve the miniature look? I don't want them to be TOO small because I would like to use similar shots quite often throughout the music video, and also use tilt shift shots on close ups and other smaller scale objects.
I guess, basically what I am asking is which lens (or two lenses) will give me the most all-purpose use of the novelty of tilt shift effects? Can you provide examples? Thanks!
