Combining aerial timelapse and tilt-shift shots, Joerg Daiber of Spoonfilm (previously) illuminates the stunning Bavarian Alps throughout all four seasons. Daiber was invited by a hotel at the foot of the dramatic Wetterstein Mountains, to highlight the scenery and range of activities visitors experience in the area.
From hiking and cycling to cross-country skiing or simply relaxing as the sun goes down on an autumn day, Daiber captures a unique, “miniaturized” view of the region through a technique that plays with focus and angle. Tilt alters the focal plane, and the shift effect changes an image’s perspective, making vast landscapes appear like models or toys.
“Miniature Mountain Magic: A Tilt-Shift Journey through Four Seasons in the Alps” is part of Daiber’s ongoing Little Big World project, which specializes in transforming remarkable places on Earth into endearing model-like sets. Combining camera and post-production techniques with drone cinematography, Daiber creates playful yet intimate views of the world, from rural Slovenia to Melbourne to Oman.
