This magical and mesmerizing tilt-shift film of Rio de Janeiro, titled The City of Samba, was created by Keith Loutit and Jarbas Agnelli during the 2011 Carnival. The music was also produced by Agnelli. The film’s fabulous illusion of miniaturization and the stop motion feel were derived from an astonishing 170,000 still shots.
