ELEVATED - "Tiny" City of Chicago - Tilt-Shift 4K Time Lapse

One camera, one lens, one "tiny" big city – CHICAGO. Real Tilt & Shift Time Lapse with a 24 mm Rokinon T‑S 3.5 lens. Since this effect is often achieved easily with software (fake tilt‑shift), I found it more challenging to capture it with an actual T‑S lens. It took me a long time to collect sequences (some dated January 2016), requiring higher elevation. Every now and then I was able to shoot from high‑rises and finally gathered enough interesting time lapses to edit a miniaturized Windy City. Special thanks for all permissions to photograph and for the amazing people helping me with my project. The footage was shot on a Canon 5D MK III, comprising 60 time lapses and around 20 000 pictures, processed in LRTime Lapse and Lightroom 5, and edited in Sony Movie Studio 13.
