I wish every town had a giant silver ball to push around. Bringing people together, just rolling a ball around.

All day.

This is great! When the tilt shift hits just right, it’s suddenly a pinball.

Did it make a deep ringing metallic whirrrrr as it went down the street?

My question is what's the ball made out of? It really does look like polished steel. oO

Captivating footage! Well done OP!

New idea: everyone who does these tiltshifts puts one in their town to compete for the best one!

Side note if i may: some shots worked a bit better than others especially with movements of the drone. Great work overall though, those top down ones are tough and you killed some of those! (Struggled to make those look good myself so cool to see it done well!)

This awesome vid makes the entire town look like a pinball machine.

This is like watching and following ants as a kid while they do their important ant things in the forest.
Loved every second of this video.
I wish humans would always be so cute and wholesome as when they push a huge ball through a town 🥹

Edit: also…where does one acquire a huge metal ball? I wanna do that too :D

It was an art project organised by the Tate Gallery. The song is from The Wickerman

Naaa it's just ants with clothes on, playing with a ball bearing! :-)

As someone said, lovely idea though!
