it is easier than i thought to create this effect. i created two ‘adjustment layers’ and then selected two ‘lens blur’ effects.
i left a gap in-between the two layers to leave a strip in focus and then added a mask to both of them which i feathered (by a few hundred pixels).
i then enabled time remapping to speed up the image – squashing 12 minutes of footage into 8 seconds. i also created an adjustment layer for the saturation and contrast levels. increasing both of these gives the image that toy, model like look and combined with the timeremapping it could be mistaken for a stop-motion animation.
mark will be adding the typography to footage after i’ve done all of the above to them. here’s an example of a finished edit (without the typo):
