Tilt-shift

Blur top and bottom so a real scene looks like a miniature. The top and bottom bands of the street blur while only the middle band with the road, the car and the small people stays in focus, so the street looks like a model.

How the movement works

To make a city or event look like a toy model world.

  1. 01The street corner (buildings, trees and lamps behind a road at y 132–162) without the large person; four small people 23–26 px tall stand on the pavement (feet at y 172); the car drives from x −60 to 600 every 5 s
  2. 02Focus band: y 66–176 stays sharp
  3. 03Blur: y 0–42 and y 190–208 go 0 → 7 px; y 42–66 and y 176–190 go 0 → 3 px
  4. 04Dashed lines on the band edges (6 px dash, 5 px gap, #8E8E93 at 75%)
  5. 05Timing: the effect comes in from 0.4 s to 1.4 s, holds until 4.0 s and is gone again by 4.8 s (one pass = 5 s, cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1)))

Prompt

High-angle view of a town with a tilt-shift look: a narrow sharp band across the middle, strong blur above and below, boosted colour, like a miniature model.
