Little Berlin: EOS 500D + LensBaby tilt-shift

Vimeo version: ★ Video memories from my Berlin vacation, in August 2009. They include the zoo, the river, monuments, streets, plazas and lot of clouds. I experimented with tilt-shift from points of view not ideal for giving the idea of the world as if it was a little model, but I discovered interesting results even if I hadn’t the chance to shoot from top. Ok, I also included a fake fake-model (a real model!), I guess that you’ll spot it easily... I had a lot of fun playing with LensBaby on a Canon EOS 500D: it gives you the feeling of shooting video with a Lomo. I used LensBaby Composer with double glass optic and sometimes the super wide angle add-on (I wish that the fisheye optic was already available this summer...). A few videos and time-lapses were shot with a normal Canon Lens, so I post-produced them simulating the defects of the other toy lenses. Can you recognize them?
