WATCH: If Detroit Was A Train Set, It'd Look Like This

Show notes

Little Big World has come through Detroit, and it’s like “Honey I Shrunk The Kids!” but “Honey I Shrunk The City!”

In the just released video Joerg Daiber looks at the city through a tilt-shifted lens and then applies a time-lapse effect so that Detroit looks as if it were a a train set – a miniature Motor City, if you will. The video was shot with the Lumix GH2 and GH4, using 14-140mm and 7-14mm Lumix Lenses for you fellow video/photo nerds out there.

Little Big World turns the most beautiful locations on earth into miniature models using tilt-shift photography. They’ve produced videos featuring a variety of global locales, including Beijing, Cannes, Chicago and many others.
