The Sandpit

I saw this on BBC News Click and was really impressed. It's an effect called "time-lapse tilt shift photography" where everything is made to look smaller than it actually is.

As an update Mar 2011, I just watched Gulliver's Travels (2010) and it looks like the same effect for the intro credits :c)

This is "a day in the life of New York City".

Personally I can sit there watching it without sound.

Here's another video that shows how to build the camera:
