I liked the look of the video http://vimeo.com/25705873 so much that I was thinking about it for a few nights and then started to explore to find out how Hugo could have achieved it. Now I am very confident that he has used what is called the "lens whacking" technique. But he has really mastered the art because his video looks so very nice and dreamy!
Simply put it is to detach the lens from the camera body and keeping it closer to the mount when recording so as to allow light leak and achieve some kind of tilt-shift effect.
See here for some write-up on this technique:
