      Looks like a “Thomas the Tank Engine” episode. Cool!

        That’s exactly what I thought.

      Wow, I could watch this over and over again. How cool would it be to have something like this of Decatur?

      Guessing this is how they made that funky Chattanooga commercial. Funny how a little bit of blurring makes everything look like toys!

        Perhaps if I had more time.

          ah, who needs to work when you could be doing important things like making a Decatur movie? :)

      So I’m guessing this is a time lapse with a tilt-shift lens?

      Experts? Clue me in!

        Yes and no. Tilt-shift is one way to get the narrow focus, but the effect can be done in post production just as effectively. Time lapse provides the stop motion effect.

        A pioneer of this type of video is Keith Loutit. His website is here: http://keithloutit.com/
        and more of his videos are here: http://vimeo.com/keithloutit (My personal favorite is “Bathtub IV”).

        Hope you enjoy his work as much as I do.

          I could waste the whole day watching these. May have to rent a TS one of these days.

      Reminds me a little of “Koyaanisqatsi” but in miniature. Note the High Line at 3:19.
