Fascinatingly kids, dinosaurs, optical illusions & HD wallpaper

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.

Here are a few really cool optical illusions that really trick your eyes. This illusion looks curved around all the sides of the square, but its not.

This optical illusion looks like one of those hologram cups you get at a fast food drive thru.

And here is another illusion that plays with your eyes. Look at the dot and the outside starts spinning… very cool

Here is another vintage movie. This silent black and white film is called The Magician and made by Thomas Edison. It shows a magic act and filmed in 1900, cool stuff
