Toy Soldiers (that aren't)

Toy Soldiers from Alta Media Productions on Vimeo.

The catch here is that those aren't miniatures, nor is that computer animation or the like - that's film shot of an actual parade lineup and such in Paris; just shot with angles, film speeds, and edited with other effects (the focus, I think?) that makes it look like stop motion animation of miniatures. (The overall scheme/system is called tilt/shift). Pretty spiffy, eh?
