Project 1: Fake Miniatures

Project Overview

In this project we emulate the effects of a selective focus camera, aka tilt shift. This effect is achieved by applying a progressive Gaussian blur to the parts of the photo not in the area of focus.

Here are the two pictures I found online:

Project 2: Vertigo Shot

Project Overview

In this project we replicate the effect of Hitchcock’s famous Vertigo Shot. This is done by focusing on a target and taking shots as you move away from the target, adjusting the FOV so that the target stays at approximately the same shape and position.

What I learned

I learned about how a simple Gaussian blur could be used to create effects usually done with hardware. I also learned how FOV can effect the range that a picture can capture.
