The visual style of the episode imitates the look of a tilt-shift camera lens. These types of lenses utilize what it known as the Scheimpflug Principle. While normal camera lenses are designed to be parallel to the camera sensor, tilt-shift lenses can manipulate the alignment to the sensor. By changing the angle of the plane between the lens and the camera's sensor, one can change the scale of focus and the depth of field. Changing the scale can allow your images to appear miniature and can also minimize or maximize the blur behind your subject.
