The first of many posts in the video reel. These videos speak for themselves so I’ll keep this brief.  This post features two great pieces of work by Sam O’Hare. I love the use of the tilt shift effect resulting in 35,000 stills not only making it a difficult piece but also highly technical. Find out how it was done and before you leave, let me know which one you prefer, personally I prefer The Sandpit largely because of the variety of scenes. Enjoy!
