Amazing Tilt-Shift Video of Swiss Landscape and Trains

June 12, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 16 comments

An absolutely stunning tilt-shift video of various trains passing through the Swiss villages of Sisikon and Göschenen. This project was filmed by Andi Leemann and Jeri Peier using two EOS 5D Mark II cameras, a Canon 90mm TS-E f/2.8 and a Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 combined with a 1.4x converter.

Amazing, it just looks like models… I imagine this video on a wide HD full TV! (L)

The video should be a little more interesting for you guys in USA, because you don’t have this kind of landscape and architecture and so on… I live in France quite close to the Alps so we got almost the same ^^

Anyway, 6 min of evasion in beautiful places, Thanks :D

The landscape is very similar to the lower end of the Appalachian Mountain range, and the architecture in places is not too different. Of course it would be nearly impossible to get such beautiful shots without a McDonalds or a nearby highway in the background. Very nice video, good music accompaniment as well

The architecture in the lower Appalachians is to Swiss architecture as Kmart is to the Empire State building.

It’s clear you’ve never been to Europe, Ray. Don’t flaunt your ignorance.

“you don’t have this kind of landscape and architecture and so on”

Apparently there are many places you have never been in the United States. Run an image search on Harpers Ferry, West Virginia — or try visiting more than one American region before again looking foolish.

Europeans are so arrogant. There are places in the U.S.A. that put Europe to shame…just start with the Grand Canyon and Bonneville Salt Flats……and the architecture is just as good if not better, just not as old as Europe….get over yourselves..

“Europeans are so arrogant”

Actually “some” Europeans are arrogant, just as some Americans are. Others are quite nice, some are shits etc etc.
I wouldn’t recommend generalizing about people, just because of one person’s comments. That is a form of racism. Don’t be ignorant – it makes me pity you.

Looks like great scenery, but I agree it does look like models.

My question is, is it possible to film things in a REVERSE tilt shift? Could we use this technology to turn miniatures into sprawling metropolises? If so, can we please get the Godzilla producers on the phone about this?

“The video should be a little more interesting for you guys in USA…”

What an idiotic thing to write. Do you think we’re so ignorant we’ve never seen a train before? or a mountain? or a house with a pointy roof? pull the croissant out of your ass you f-ing Eurotrash idiot.

It is definitely models.

There are other items snuk in like the river, etc.

But for the sun to be out, there would not be so much out of focus due to depth of field..

One river shot has a good bit of river being in focus, but the cooresponding buildings are out of focus.

Still.. very nice.
