Miniature Manchester Airport -- in real life
Tilt-shift is a technology that's been around for the last few years, but it's just now being applied to the video world, and the results are pretty wild. The below video was shot overlooking Manchester Airport in England, and using the blurred effects of tilt-shift it looks like everyone working at the airport is a small doll moving around a series of toy planes.
If you're interested in trying out the technology on your own time, Gadling has a few suggestions to save you some time.

That was actually one of the most boring tilt-shift videos I've seen done. Disney's Epcot one, however, is the best.

Nothing strange or weird about this video!! I have seen some other videos like
this of other major airports online. If you were to view this video in slow motion,
it would ring a bell that this is how things are done at Manchester at a regular pace!!!
You will see that there is a Virgin Atlantic 747 and a Pakistan Int'l 777 being de-iced.
These two planes alone, are monsterous in their own rights. Naturally!! the ground
crews will look alot smaller. The average height of a 747 ,DCl0, 777, and many
other big jets stand at 2 stories and up at the bare minimum. I talking about the
height of the cabin entry and galley entry doors above the tarmac pavement.

This is nothing more than time lapse photography and then speeded up. It does not look like dolls around toy airchraft. It looks preciesly like a movie speeded up many times -very common and done all the time.

YES..It is high speed filming.
BUT..it is the type of filming. You evidently do not have the ability to see the "forced perspective" in this type of film work in which the main object(s) being filmed are hyper focused and cause miniaturization effect. It makes the entire frame of filming look as though one is watching an HO scale train display.
