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

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.



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


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 would be slow as hell since they move rather slow than seen within the video.
