    Aside from the dreadful singing and cheesy lyrics Im loving the tilt/shift effects in the Eurovision semis, I presume that's done the exact same way as on a still camera?

    Yeah, it's really cool isn't it? It's a strange optical effect that messes with your head.

    One of the top rated videos on vimeo is this one:

    He explains how the effect was achieved here:

    http://aerofilm.blogspot.com/2010/02/sandpit-short-film-by-aero-director-sam.html

    "The footage was shot as raw NEFs, which I organised and colour graded in Adobe Lightroom. I always shoot raw, as it gives you so much more latitude when grading. These were then output as 720p jpg sequences and quickly stabilised to do the initial edit. Once the edit was mostly locked, all the final footage was re-output at full 2800px resolution, tracked, stabilised and the DOF effect and movement added in Eyeon Fusion, using Frischluft Lenscare. I output the final shots at 1080p. Although most shots stay with the basic tilt-shift effect, some have focus pulls, or more complex depth mattes were built up along with some paint work to allow buildings to drop out of focus next to the in-focus ground."
