Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013 by Daniel M. Gattermann at 18:21

I no longer own the domain isne.at. The URL shortener at http://isne.at (is neat) was my private URL shortener for Twitter back when they didn’t have their own.

Amazing Tilt-Shift Time-Lapse Video of Singapore

Friday, September 28th, 2012 by Daniel M. Gattermann at 22:14

This video is definitely a must-see. For ‘The Lion City’, the idea behind the extension of the tilt shift technique is for focus and distance to be something the viewer can experience. From the shoot info: […] the film is hard hitting, and full of effects… more so than if I were releasing a story […]
