We have short attention spans. :) @Martin,

“Shhh, it’s a secret” because we never really got this project off of the ground before we moved on to other things. We have short attention spans. :)

I have the same Kodak, and often wondered what I was doing wrong . . . the files are pretty big, and my laptop (pretty close to what's used for the 'cast) would drop frames all the time. PS, why "shhhhh it's a secret"? Wave your freak-flag high, these are good tutorials. Cheers. Really useful, as always.

Seems like a step of 7 works, but then I think I should be changing the fps to something to make it look like it should be going a bit faster. Playing around a little bit and got the following (ignore the post in the left foreground). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9_MIndbGZ0 what settings do you use for step and fps to get a decent looking stop motion type of tilt shift miniature effect?

I'll keep you posted. The gopro vid is amazing - when a gorillapod just won't cut it. Figured the impact from the girl jumping into water off a cliff would destroy something. @heathenx: driving around Halifax today started looking upward for medium high buildings to obtain some footage of high traffic areas.

I guess it was easier than I thought. I found in my directory structure a blender file that I made (over a year ago) where I had already figured out how to make tilt-shift images with the compositor. I tweaked it a little and was able to figure how to do it with video. The only thing that I did differently was instead of making a gradient texture right inside of Blender, I made one with Inkscape and used it instead. I picked that up from the video link that you posted. Controlling the gradient in Inkscape is a bit easier for me than adjusting it in Blender. The only thing that I need now is some good video footage to play with. @junapp

I would love to learn how to do a tilt-shift with Blender. Perhaps I'll research this a little. If you have any tips please pass them along. Btw, I've kind of had my eye on a GoPro Hero (http://www.goprocamera.com). I shoot some biking videos on occasion and that might be perfect for me. Also, my Zi8 took a fall this past summer from 5 feet up and landed right on the pavement. No damage and still works great. Guess I got lucky. :) @junapp
