Soldats de Plomb

July 1, 2010  |  Personal  |  No Comments

To cheer up this already bright and sunny day, here in the Netherlands, I thought I would share a fantastically created movie that I found on Vimeo.

The movie, titled Soldats de Plomb (meaning ‘Toy Soldiers’), was created by Alta media Productions using a Canon 7D and 5DmkII.

The movie shows troops in Paris preparing for a parade, most like Bastille Day or La Fête Nationale as it is known to the French. The parade is mostly military and as this video will show, a lot of preperation is involved.

The technique used in the video is called tilt/shift using Canon’s TS-E lenses (24 and 90mm) in combination with a low FPS (Canon 5DmkII is 3.5fps, jpg small).
