The video was created by Rury Mason using a technique called ‘tilt shift’ which is a combination of technique and optical illusion.
Rury said: “You’ll notice, the vast majority of the content in the video is shot from at distance, from above, and looking down at an angle.

For added effect, I speed the content up around 30%, which gives the people and vehicles a toy-like movement and quality. Then I boost the saturation on all the content, so that the colours become brighter and more like plastic.”
Over the coming months we’ll be showcasing their work which showcases the Capital’s landscape, history and heritage from a unique perspective.
