Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker. | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Tonight we are celebrating a love story like no other. Titanic has | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
grossed $1.8 billion at the box office since it opened and 100 | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
years after the ship's last voyage, the film is back from a different | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
perspective. But no blockbusting love story is complete without its | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
villain. I have an arrangement with an officer on the other side of the | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
ship. We can both get of safely. have my own boat to catch. Step | :00:53. | :01:02. | |
aboard, miss. He is evil! Please welcome | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
tonight's guest, lovely in real life, Billy Zane! Good old Billy. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
You are meeting up with Kate Winslet. That is tomorrow at the | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
premiere of the 3D Titanic. Have you seen yourself in 3D yet? Every | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
day! From a film perspective? wonderful. So glad I could share | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
it! I have not seen the film, actually. I am worried, actually. | :01:35. | :01:45. | |
:01:45. | :01:47. | ||
Why? Suddenly that is my nose, the pause in my face, 40 ft tall, so I | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
apologise in advance! I don't know what that experience will be like. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Apparently it is stunning. I have not had a chance to see it but I | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
have heard that it is miraculous and they have really taken the time | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
to make sure the conversion is exquisite. Will this be the first | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
:02:12. | :02:16. | ||
time that you have seen Rose and Leo since Titanic? A usually see -- | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
I usually see Kate with an armful of gold at the Golden Globes and I | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
do see Leonardo DiCaprio as well. Well, we have some pictures that | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
have been locked in an underground vault for years. They were taken | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
while the Titanic was at sea. first we visit another wrecked ship, | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
one that people want to see sinking without a trace. This giant | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
structure lies slap in the middle of Middlesbrough docks. It cost | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
�2.7 million added at the front of a �500 million regeneration of the | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
area. Just a few yards away from that multi-million-pound investment | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
is this. This is the Tuxedo Royale. Everybody agrees that for the | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
redevelopment to work, this has to be moved. The problem is, nobody | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
owns it. The Tuxedo Royale was moved to this dock in 2009 while | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
the owners decided what to do without. Shortly after mooring it, | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
they went bust. Now it has been vandalised and it is sitting on the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
bottom of the River Tees. It will cost anywhere up to �1 million to | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
raise and dismantle it. That is more than the current scrap value. | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
Neil Everington is in charge of the dock. The vessel is taking up | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
viable commercial space. We are the first to want to see the back of it. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
The question has always been who will pay to get rid of it. It is | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
not ours, so whose is it? Good question. Just who is responsible? | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
The liquidator? No. The Environment Agency? The council? If it did | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
belong to us, there is a lot of money involved in moving it. They | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
all told us that they did not have the rights of a responsibility to | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
move it, even though they would like to. -- the right or the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
responsibility. It seems to be up the river without a paddle. At the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
moment it is low on the list of priorities for everyone. But this | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
boat has got a history. But two decades, the Tuxedo Royale and her | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
sister ship the Princess were famous as the premiere night spots | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
on Tyneside. They were known simply as the boat. Angela and Helena have | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
fond memories. The distraught, to be honest. It's was iconic, to be | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
honest. I can remember everybody being full of excitement and there | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
were queues. I think everybody from around here went there and it was | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
like the Titanic of Gateshead. It was glamorous. Everybody wanted to | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
be there. It was where we met. is where I met my part of 14 years | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
ago. You cannot think that something as glamorous as it was | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
could be left like that. The Tuxedo Royale's life as a nightclub was | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
legendary but its legend goes back even further. It was one of the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
last ships to come out of what was once one of the biggest | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
shipbuilding regions in the world. John worked on the River Tees his | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
whole life and he helped to refit the boat for its trip to | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
Middlesbrough. In order to get the best you, he has taken me out on a | :05:46. | :05:55. | |
boat to get up close and personal. -- the best view. She was | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
originally built on the River Teme. She was a flagship of the cross | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
rail fleet. She is part of everybody's culture and heritage. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
It might be the historical significance that offers the best | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
chance for the boat and all those that want rid of it. John is a key | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
member of a group called the Dover Steamship Company. They are trying | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
to raise the money required to get it off the river bed and into a dry | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
dock to be restored. It looks worse than it is. It is just superficial | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
damage at the moment. We would like to restore it as a car ferry, in | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
its original condition. These plans have a long way to go to become | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
reality. The problem is convincing people that they are capable of | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
succeeding and then raising the money. We are looking for | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
charitable donations, we are looking for companies to donate | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
machinery and materials. If everybody that had partied on the | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
Tuxedo Royale donated �10, we would be laughing. You could probably by | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
two! It seems like this is the last hope for the boat to find a new | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
life. But whether or not they succeed, the liquidator for the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
company that once owned the boat thinks that it is a case of | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
everybody clubbing together. It may well be in everybody's best | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
interest to put a small amount towards the fund instead of being | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
landed with a bigger problem. pay now and not later? Yes. For now | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
the boat is still sitting on the river bed, waiting for someone to | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
come to her rescue. The magic of that revolving | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
dancefloor spread all the way down to Durham! I can imagine! I have | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
got mixed thoughts on that one. Shall we move on to a slightly more | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
famous ship? Like the Titanic? do! Billy, you said the film is | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
being released in 3D. It is 15 years since it was released. I have | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
seen it seven times, myself. Fantastic! Only cold-hearted people | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
would not be sobbing at the end. What do you think the 3D experience | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
will bring to ask as punters? -- bring to us. I think the experience | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
will be more emersed, as it were. The navy operates on many levels, | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
but I think the 3D will certainly add a greater sense of access. -- | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
:08:40. | :08:44. | ||
of the movie. It will make the for a -- it will make the emotions more | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
real. But it will be hard to cry with the glasses! This is a clip | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
that you can enjoy on your regular televisions. I don't see what all | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
the fuss is about. It doesn't look any bigger. You can be blase about | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
some things, but not about Titanic. It is 100 ft long and far more | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
luxurious. Your daughter is far too difficult to impress. | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
Does that feel like yesterday? feels like a while ago. Normally I | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
would say it feels like yesterday but that clip, I don't know, it is | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
:09:38. | :09:42. | ||
strange to me. I feel a part from it. Is it true that James Cameron | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
saw you playing The Phantom? We have got the shot of you. This is | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
plumb, aubergine! A lovely suit. He thought you would be great for Cal | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
1 Titanic. It reminded him of a wet suit, clearly! I believe they | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
screened the film and found that because I played a period hero in | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
1936, not really a product of the post-modern sociopath ship | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:25. | ||
definition of comic superheroes that we see today, he was happy. -- | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
sociopathic definition. He had friends, he was quite stable. | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
is quite random. It was. They were looking for an actor that could | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
carry the period, as it were, not necessarily the same type of film. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
Good choice. We will talk more in a while but the story of the Titanic | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
is so documented that it is unusual to see something new. We have been | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
given special permission to show photographs that have not been seen | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
on British television before. were captured by a gunman who had a | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
miraculous escape from the ship. Graham Little went to county court | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
to put us in the picture. -- County Cork. This box contains rare | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
photographs taken on board the Titanic on its tragic maiden voyage. | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
Who took these images and how did they survive? These images have | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
been coloured by the �200 million that Hollywood spent on the | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
spectacle. Even when the 1958 classic put it down in black and | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
white, the big screen was awash with deadly drama. But for a true | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
picture of life on board, we have another man behind the camera to | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
thank. This time, not another Hollywood producer, but a Jesuit | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
priest. Father Francis Brown was an orphan, raised by his uncle, an | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
Irish Jesuit bishop. He gave him a camera when he embarked on his | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
grand tour of Europe. And his photographs showed real talent. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
This is one of his old cameras. He could have made a living as a | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
photographer, no doubt, but when he returned from Europe he decided to | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
follow his uncle and become a priest. Then he could focus on the | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
spiritual as well as Life Thru a Lens. Then in April, 1912, for his | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
birthday, his generous uncle got him the hottest ticket in town, a | :12:25. | :12:35. | |
:12:35. | :12:37. | ||
trip on the luxury liner by Titanic. She sailed from Southampton, at two | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
Cherbourg, to Cobh. It gave him a chance to wander around the most | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
glorious liner ever built. What he captured would be high -- hailed as | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
a photographic equivalent as the Dead Sea scrolls. I should tell you | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
how lucky you are to be looking at these. When we heard they were | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
valued at �2 million, I put them in an underground vault. I have just | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
collected them to show them to you. This is the first time they have | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
been shown on television. You must consider yourself privileged. | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
were not just holiday snaps. What makes them extra-special is the | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
fact that France's Brown managed to capture life on board the Titanic, | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
which for many hundreds was to end it just a few days later. That is | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
the most finable photograph, taken of the Marconi, with the man at the | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
controls that sent out the iceberg messages just a few days later. | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
Harland and Wolff had no photograph of that, so whenever you see a | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
photograph of the Marconi, it has to be this one here. Amazingly they | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
did not have enough room for enough lifeboats but they had room for an | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
indoor rowing machine. Ironic, all right! Apparently the Titanic had | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
state-of-the-art exercise equipment. That man at the back is on an | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
electric hammer. His name is written in, he is an electrician. | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
:14:27. | :14:31. | ||
And another gymnast. He adds His charm gave him access to all | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
areas, places no-one else had ever photographed. Frank used his charm | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
to captivate a wealthy American couple who then offered to pay for | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
the rest of his trip to New York. France countries could not believe | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
his luck and cabled back to his sue peer yors requesting permission to | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
sail on. -- sue peer yors. | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
The reply back was direct -- get off that ship. It was a | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
disappointed Frank who disembarked. Father Frank Browne watched as the | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
tight sailed off. Of course, he was unaware of what was about to happen, | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
but true to form, he took one final photo. This is believed to be the | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
last image ever taken of the doomed ship. | :15:20. | :15:28. | |
Two days later, the Titanic hit the iceberg and 1,500 people died. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
It was a quirk of fate or the hand of God? Who is to know, but Father | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
Frank Browne's stern recall from the Titanic, potentially saved him | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
and his amazing pictures from plummeting two miles to a cold and | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
watery grave. I have to say an enormous thank you | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
to Father Eddie to show us those photographs. | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
And Frank he was talking about, reminds me of Leonardo DiCaprio's | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
character on the boat? There was a scene on that gym that was shot, | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
but it was cut out. There was another scene that was shot when | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
Kate and Leonardo DiCaprio slipped off. And they used that location, | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
but it was amazing ing to look at how wonderfully the details were | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
designed. Looking at every cornice, every detail in the dining room or | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
on the deck, it was truly an immersible experience while filming | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
You took pictures during filming. We can see some here. This is a | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
picture of Kate on the edeck? That is right. | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
We were not allowed. I snuck a few. Jim said he regrets not letting | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
anyone take pictures, but I said not to worry, that I snuck some off. | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
This is a nice one as well, but you were using them for something else? | :17:07. | :17:17. | |
I was using a positive, a vintage Polaroid camera and had re-shot | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
them digitalally, they, they can be printed in watercolour and | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
collectible prints. I have not really... That is interesting. | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
That one is amazing. There is is a shot of me taking | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
that photo in the coffee table book, that was released. The official | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
book on Titanic. I'm on a ladder in the show in question. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
That was amazing. You took one of the crew filming. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
There is one here of James Cameron, the director of the film. There he | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
eis in the water. You did tell us that he actually loved to get stuck | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
in during the filming? Actually, I didn't take this photo. I'm in it. | :18:00. | :18:08. | |
I'm the one standing, I'm the dry one! Oh, are you?! What was he | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
doing in the water? Bless him, he was the first in the water and the | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
last out. He is obsessed with the water. | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Apparently. This morning he has just returned | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
from the Mariana Trench, seven miles. He has the record for a one- | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
man Submarine. Good on him and apparently he is | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
30,000 feet above us, that it must wreak havoc on the body to move in | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
those extremes. He will see you tomorrow. | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
He will probably be about 3ft tall having come out of the chamber. | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
Yes, Titanic in 3D is released nationwide on the 6th of April. | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
Now, the huge Sport Relief challenge, One Show 1000 finished | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
on Maulavi Mustafa Barakzai yesterday when Mary Ross finished | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
running. Now, she has not stopped running, look at her go! -- The | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
Mall. Starting from the aisle of mull, | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
local, David Black, took the first steps on the mammoth run. The whole | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
of Tobermory came out in support. 3, 2, 1, banana split! We are in | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
the middle of nowhere, obviously it is somewhere, but we don't know | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
where! Over the weekend hundreds completed miles in Scotland, | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
running through the day and the night. By Monday morning, the relay | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
had arrived in Northern Ireland. Welcome to Belfast! First up was | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
Chris, who has well as raising money had a point to prove. | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
I used to be about 20 stone. I'm wanting to show people I have | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
turned a bit of a corner. From here, the run moved on to | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
England and down into Northumberland. | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
Less has just finished his mile. Thank you very much. You get your | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
breath back! We've seen a wide variety of participants from school | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
boys... Are you ready to go back to school, now? I guess so, yeah. | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
To funky monkeys! The 45-year-old Susan, and the undertaking of her | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
mile had a special significance. I just finished my chemotherapy for | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
breast cancer two weeks ago. This is a bit of celebration for getting | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
it over with. To give something back to help other people. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
And then to the home straight of our 1,000-mile run, from mile to | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
The Mall. How was the last mile, Mary? Excellent. I was so | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
extradited. I got out of bed sing # I'm so excited. # But without | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
them I could not have done this. So a very, very big thank you to them. | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
I couldn't believe it happened. It actually happened! Thank you very | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
much to all of the One Show runners and all of you who donated money to | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
the One Show 1000 shall eng. We do appreciate it. | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
We do indeed and Lucy is back. I've been allowed inside! Amazing | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
and extraordinary. Was there a point you thought it would not | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
happen? There was a few. In Oban we had a pregnant lady, five months, | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
running, there were potholes all over the place it was dark, cold. | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
And then we got two hours behind and they just made up the time. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
They were incredible. Britain is remarkable in situations | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
like that. I don't know how they did it. | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
The One Show viewers are good souls, but you wanted to thank some | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
people? There was one guy, Alan Banebridge, he got up at 3.00am to | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
take us into Newcastle with a group of runners. He is part of the | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
3.00am Runners, they did a difficult last leg each day. They | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
kept us moving. They are insane. Can you believe that, running a | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
mile at 3.00am in the morning? can believe that. It depends who is | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
chasing you, of course. Well, I tell you what, Mary has | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
made it inside. Now, marey, come on in! Here she is! In all of her | :22:54. | :23:03. | |
glory! We are going to call you Mile Mary from now on!. Thank you. | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
We did catch up with you yesterday as you finished. You were the | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
cherry on the cake for us. Thank you. | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
How was it looking back at it? Brilliant. Such a brilliant day. | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
A really good cause and being a part of the team was amazing. | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
A massive team. Yes, such a massive team. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Lucy do you have a total of how much the team has raised? Yes, the | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
:23:40. | :23:41. | ||
total is: And the Sport Relief total? It is | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
:23:51. | :23:56. | ||
If you would like to donate to Sport Relief and to get the total | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
higher, go to the Sport Relief website. | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Very exciting moment, now, for Billy. | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
Every year, just once a year, I would guess, that you are guest | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
gets the chance to be here for the launch of a special week on The One | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
Show. Billy, you are following in the foot steps of this, only two | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
other guests have had this special challenge. | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
You are not talking about Balloon Week? Yes! You are obviously a big | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
fan. Here is Jamie Crawford with the | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
first of our Balloon Week films. The way that we see the world | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
around us is governed by a set of rules, for example, small things | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
appear big when close up and big things appear small when far away. | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Break the rules and you can confuse the brain to seeing the world | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
differently. So, I am cheating a bit. This is a model village it | :24:55. | :25:05. | |
:25:05. | :25:06. | ||
really is small. It is almost an exact replica of the real Bolton- | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
On-The Water. Every building has been preproduced a ninth of its | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
real size. Our brain is working hard to | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
determine an object's true scale. I'm going to show you a clever | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
camera trick that makes large objects look small, turning the | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
real world into a miniature. I'm going to make the village appear as | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
tiny as its own model village. This is tilt shift. The new craze | :25:37. | :25:46. | |
:25:47. | :25:47. | ||
in photographic miniaturisation. In the old days, cameras looked | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
Reich -- like this. A massive piece of kith that would slide on this | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
piece of mek apics to shift it. Tilt occurs when the lens tilts | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
away or towards from the camera, the shift is when the lens is | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
parallel to the camera, but moving up and down. So, how does it work? | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
Shifting the lens distort's the image, when photographing buildings | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
from below, the walls appear to converge, giving the building an | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
odd appearance. Shifting the lens upwards we can cancel out of | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
perspective all together, making the building appear as the | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
architect intend, but we don't need do that here, we need the | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
miniaturising tilt function. We need to meld with its focus. So put | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
your hand out. I can demonstrate. It will not work on the telly, you | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
have to do it yourself. From here you can see the whole hand in focus, | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
but drawing it closer to your face, the eyes focus on a smaller | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
esection until you can see the centre of the palm and the rest of | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
it is blurred. This is a powerful clue. Our brains use it to expose | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
the true size and distance of objects. The lers the object we | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
focus on, the closer our brain tells us that the object must be. | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
This is where the tilt aspect of tilt and shift comes into play it | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
reduces the amount of the photograph in focus. | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
But for this to really work, we need a point to see the whole | :27:22. | :27:29. | |
village, the entire thing A giant's eye view. For that we need the One | :27:29. | :27:39. | |
:27:39. | :27:39. | ||
Show Balloon. It works! I was thinking the whole | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
day, I hope that this works, it works! It is exactly like the model | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
village. That is remarkable. By tilting the lens a thin strip of | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
the object comes into focus at any one time. This is a genuine giant's | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
eye view of the village. It is absolutely remarkable. As | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
there is only a tiny area in focus, it tricks my brain into thinking | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
that what I am looking at is genuinely tiny. Even though I know | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
that it is the real thing. This is brilliant. | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
If you want to recreate this effect for yourself, there are various | :28:23. | :28:29. | |
amateur tilt shift lenses on the market. Most smart phones have | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
downloadable applications that can recreate the effect. Old photos can | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
be made miniature by using a range of photo editing software. There we | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
have it, with a bit of camera trickery and a giant's eye view yes | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
the real world filmed in miniature. Thank goodness that Balloon Week is | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
back with us. Billy, we have a little present for you. This has | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
been made by Kristina. Is that my Billy Balloon. | :29:00. | :29:10. | |
It does a -- look a little bit like Popeye. We also have to mention | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
that you did run the Sport Relief mile as well. | :29:13. | :29:17. |
