Tilt-Shift Video

I'm a big fan of time lapses. I love the everlasting sunrise and sunset. But, one thing I have found fascinating is tilt-shift time lapse video. For those who don't know what tilt-shift is:

Tilt-shift requires a special camera setup, a lens that can tilt—or rotate—and shift—move parallel to the image plane. With tilt you control the focus of the image, which works better in vertically oriented framing, blurring the closest and farthest part of the image. With shift you correct the perspective of the image itself, making things look flatter than they actually are.

I've also found some cheap ways to make tilt-shift lenses. I gotta find those sites.

Here is an example:
