To create the vertigo shot, instead of taking pictures, I decided to take a video. This entailed taking a video of a scene by walking towards an object while zooming out. The clips I recorded were about 30 seconds long. I took the recorded videos, added a video stabilzer effect from Adobe Premiere Pro, sped it up and stabilized it again. The results below are the results of 2 recorded videos

During the process I used a Canon DSLR that had a 55mm lens. Difficulties I had included the shakiness of stepping while moving forward and trying to keep my focal object the same size while recording and stepping forward. Unfortunately as well, turning my videos in a gif destroyed the quality of the videos. The following are frames from the videos/gifs on top.

We accomplish this goal by doing the following:
The following are the original images and the results of applying the tilt shift

All the pictures had pretty great results, but I think the Orange Count Cathedral had the best results due to the horizontal line and the dolly in the Shrine of St. Francis also produced beautiful results. The class was fun and I'm glad I took it. For sure a highlight of my Fall 2017 semester.
