Tiny Elden Ring | Tilt Shift

[@Phirestar]

This video taught me two things about Elden Ring: 1. The player and the NPCs are tiny 2. The buildings are _massive_

[@salsamancer]

Dark Souls is also similar, at least in Anor Londo.

[@absbi0000]

It’s a trick of the lens called tilt shift.

[@GoblinMagicandEngineering]

I like to think that the buildings are **massive** because there are **massive people** in the world.

[@kingangelot4745]

There are massive people in the souls world, anor londo is the home of the gods and giants, for example the giants guarding the main gates at anor londo in the first game and (bit if a spoiler) when you meet gwenevere in her bedchamber and she easily takes up the entire room

[@mcpunchins]

It taught me that the world of Elden Ring would make an insanely epic setting for a TTRPG which I hadn't even considered prior to seeing the scale of it from another angle.

As an artist and Graphic Designer this makes me tingle all over! I literally got goosebumps. The scenes are so hauntingly familiar yet seem so distant with this perspective. I love it!

This is a specific technique called 'miniature faking': en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_faking

[@TerrenceBoyceNashville]

Same!

[@Drift-yf4rn]

It's just due to the extremely shallow depth of field. You only get that with a wide lens when extremely close to the subject, like when taking macro photography. As such it makes everything look small. It's called tilt shift as you can use a tilt shift lens in real life to get the same effect, basically lets you adjust the focus plane to do exactly what you see here.

[@blakehansen8284]

@@Lakita2880 Agreed. Not so much because there's more enemies or anything, (Elden Ring has just as many "open/empty" places as the Witcher imo), it's that every encounter where there are enemies has been thought out using the same techniques as Dark Souls. Enemies are so much more specifically placed in order to create uniquely challenging scenarios. Honestly I'm super impressed how ironically linear the game still feels in that way. There are way more options in terms of how to overcome enemy obstacles than dark souls ofc but they still manage to keep structure, and thus some difficulty. Other more open world games don't feel like you're moving from scenario to scenario and sometimes (botw) they start to feel downright sandboxy. I dunno, I'm super impressed that Elden Ring managed to have a bit of both worlds, that's what makes it a GOTY/instant classic for me not it's scale.

[@ElliFong]

When you say RTS, do you mean turn base similar to Xcom and wasteland or do you mean actual RTS like base building game like Starcraft 2 and Command and conquer

[@kamekazi1123]

@@ElliFong Well RTS stands for Real Time Strategy. XCOM and other turn based games are not RTS because the actions and decisions do not happen in real time. They TBS games or Turn Based Strategy because each player takes turns to decide their actions. So when i say RTS i am indeed referring to games similar to Starcraft, Company of Heroes, Age of Empires, Warcraft 3, Supreme Commander FA and other legendary RTS games.

really wish I could use some of these scenes as wallpapers - I love this channel so much

[@chrisprescott2273]

There are no words to express how damn cool this is.

[@JonFuguE]

Genuinely loved this, looks like a next-gen "populus 3d" type of game :) Subscribed!

[@phnsinrspt]

Oh my god, that is SO COOL. It looks amazing. What a masterpiece. The idea, the execution, the music, the editing. Thank you, I love it so much.

Almost double the views of your previous best.. in a day! The huge popularity and media coverage of elden ring has introduced tons more people to your outstanding work. Your videos are excellent. Keep on keeping on (hint hint) Edit: just to be clear about the hint, a death stranding vid would be insane😃

[@Flurdeh]

I want to do Death Stranding soon, I know its a long game though so I need to mentally prepare making a video for it 😅

[@seiryuh7666]

Wow this is a very clean, you’re truly talented.

[@ShelbyGR]

This is beautiful and really well made! Love it 😍❤

[@neon-nova]

I didn't realise it was possible to feel nostalgic for a game I just finished playing.

[@chadeberhart9734]

I've finished it twice and I feel this way. Just proves how incredible it is.

[@Night-Lord]

That's so cool, the scale combined with the slightly sped up animations make it look like claymation. The somewhat choppy movements ironically make it more believable

[@Grapefruit5000]

A+ for creativity and execution. Looks amazing.

[@quite1enough]

If it's like Diablo IV developers actually made a good game

[@eliteextremophile8895]

Still probably the best looking world in gaming and this perspective made it so much more beautiful. Thank you.

[@NotimPorten]

Size-wise it looks perfectly fine, like it was meant to be this way. Everything just seems a lot faster, which could just be the recording.
