The BBC’s Sherlock is in its second season and the opening titles (check out the sequence here) are a fresh take on the Tilt Shift technique, which can be used to make scenes appear as miniatures — giving us, the viewers, a sense that we are closely examining each scene.
I have created an After Effects preset to assist you with creating your own tilt shift effects inside AE. Please watch the tutorial video below and download the preset so you can get started!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy tilt shifting.
