One of the most fascinating things about flying is the unique thrill of looking down at the earth from above, as if you've entered the world of Lilliput. ANA recently released a short film themed around Fukuoka, using special filming techniques to make the city's famous landmarks look like miniature toy models — truly magical.

The film, titled "A Day In Fukuoka," was shot at locations including Fukuoka Airport, Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, Yanagawa, Marine World Uminonakamichi, Ohori Park, and Fukuoka Dome, ending with a sunset over the city of Fukuoka.

Through the special effects of a tilt-shift lens, all the landmarks and pedestrians appear as shrunken models, while the viewer feels like a giant. Even the sea lions and dolphins at Marine World Uminonakamichi become even more adorable. With the video and upbeat music, viewers are taken on a relaxing journey through Fukuoka.
