I love this optical illusion. It just never stops moving. It looks like some sick video but it is only a still image. That pattern is really playing some tricks on my eyes.
Why do our trains not look as totally awesome as these from Asia? I know that Asian cultures love color and design. Wow, check out these incredible and fascinating designs for the subway train cars in Korea. They even have musicians dress up as Santa and play music around the holidays. How cool is that? I love optical illusions and the neon on the train cars is great.
here are a few more optical illusion videos that I really like. This first one had me seeing that crazy pattern on every wall for like a minute afterwards, and the galloping horse in the second video is great. I gotta get that book.
From 1936 I think, this is a black and white movie that tries to explain how motion pictures work and why we see a continuing sequence of images.
Old movies are pretty interesting because they look so simple. We have become so used to special effects and computer animation. Seeing simple diagrams in a video and still being entertained, almost seems foreign.
The movie description is this
“MOTION PICTURES ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY PERSISTENCE OF VISION. ITS PRINCIPLES EXPLAINED WITH ANIMATION, DIAGRAMS. STUNT DRIVER ROLLS CAR OVER. GOOD SHOTS AUDIENCES, PATRONS ENTERING THEATRE, PROJECTION EQUIPMENT. PROCESS SHOT OF AUDIENCE WATCHING FILM.”
This movie is narrated and has all sorts of diagrams and visuals to help with the explanation of how movies work. There is also a big crash at the end, starring a Chevy, of course.
