A tilt-shift lens is one of the craziest lenses you can use on a camera and it gives a surreal miniature feeling to basically anything you point it at. We can recreate this feeling in After Effects with just a few steps and layer on some other creative techniques to make boring stock footage look like it was shot with a cinema camera. I'll show you how to create a completely customizable faux tilt-shift effect and how to optimize it for render time. We'll also look at how to add some cinematic lens effects and distortions for a more analog feel, color grade the footage with Lumetri color, plus how to create a chromatic aberration RGB split. Then we'll learn how to use Photoshop to generate a depth map using AI in order to more accurately blur your shots, and how to use a third-party plugin called Depth Scanner to do the same thing for video.
