Tilt-Shift Time-Lapse

I have a passing interest in photography and movie making, though I've never gone so far as to make a movie. The following clip is an example of two techniques I find fascinating combined in a fantastic sum-of-it's-parts result.
Tilt-shift lenses allow narrow bands of focus to be enforced in photos taken over large distances. In effect this gives everything the appearance of being a miniature model photographed in macro.
Time-lapse is the art of taking photos (or movie frames) at extended regular intervals and then playing them back in sequence allowing giving the impression of sped up activity.
The following clip combines both which results in a bizarre miniature Sydney under the microscope.
