The same effect was used in that Thom Yorke music video from last year you may have seen. The info on the site hints at such – these are not models, just ariel photography.

In the first photo, you'll notice that the area in focus is a circle-shaped area in the right/upper right. With a normal lens, the in-focus area would be a horizontal plane so that objects in the same plane would be in focus while planes/objects in front and behind would be out of focus. Instead in the first photo, you see areas to the right and left of the cars and people in the same plane are also out of focus. The giveaway is the extremely narrow, shaped DOF.

Id like to know the scale of these models, because this effect is easily achieved with a tilt shift lens. The people in the top one are too real.
