  > This looks like scale models to me. That's the tilt-shift effect, but according to the video producer, it's real footage.

    Thanks, I hadn't heard of that: >"For video sequences, a way of strengthening the miniature impression is to run the video at higher speed than it was recorded. This appears to reduce the inertia which would normally limit the motion of large objects." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_faking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_faking So why are the film makers using multiple techniques that make this video look "fake"? I'd think they would want it to look real.

      Because first you may think it might be fake due to video effects and not seeing any people. Then you realize it's actually real and end up even more impressed with Dutch innovation!

      It's quite popular and "looks cool". Often used for busy scenes shot from far away.

  It's called tilt-shift effect, it's usually simulated by adding two blur bands on the top and bottom of the image. It can be done with a special kind of camera lens, but it's not usually done that way because of their price.

    Why would they do that in this case though?

      Almost certainly stylistic effect. It has the result of making a life-size scene appear to be a model. This is a promotional, rather than informational video, for the most part. Style matters.
