I'd guess

Fix levels
Balance color
Desaturate
Crush blacks
White/mids brought a little warm
White/mids brightened slightly

The shooting wasn't perfect but it was good, just because something is shot with a shallow DOF doesn't mean it's not good film making. I really enjoyed it in this.

I don't think it was the just shallow DOF. The major issue I have with this video is the stupid, likely faked selective focus / tilt blur that they had going on. I thought people had gotten over that. It's shitty in photos, it's shitty in videos. If you fake it, it doesn't make sense.

I didn't really know people faked DOF, It was shot with the 14mm 2.8 and 28mm 1.8 though so I'm assuming it's real.

minus the fairy shot that was clearly trying to emulate a tilt shift. Anyone else on the colours?

actually i watched it again and you guys are right, it's like a blur vignette he's going on in some of the shots. What is that called?

The colors were nothing special. Just a simple levels adjustment with a warm/greenish tint with complementary blacks. The highlights in some shots were clipped and had a yellow tint that looked horrendous.

On a side note, did anyone else like how some shots had a super deep focus? The fake tilt shift was ugly, but it was nice to see some shots that weren't wide open like most of the DSLR crap you see nowadays.
