At its most basic you just blur the top and bottom of the photo/video, but even that can be surprisingly effective depending on the scene.

(apologies for pedantry :) I’m sure Alex is aware of this, but I wanted to provide more detail for anyone interested).

Nice video btw.

It would be nice if critical mass was so popular here!
