Title: Trippy staircase illusion Post by: bsfins on May 03, 2013, 12:29:45 am This was tweeted out by teller,of Penn and Teller...
it's a low quality Youtube video,but it's trippy as all hell...Then he tweeted the failed kickstarter project that explains it better... The you tube video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7v-vQHxD-6U#! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7v-vQHxD-6U#!) the kick starter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1123493397/the-stairwell-project-building-a-modern-myth?ref=live (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1123493397/the-stairwell-project-building-a-modern-myth?ref=live) Title: Re: Trippy staircase illusion Post by: Spider-Dan on May 03, 2013, 03:32:53 am The kickstarter project kind of defeats itself, as the project would become more popular than the myth (if it isn't already).
Title: Re: Trippy staircase illusion Post by: Brian Fein on May 03, 2013, 09:55:07 am So, is the staircase thing real or is it a myth? The first video suggests that it is real. If not, it is very clever camera tricks and editing. The second video seems to illustrate that its a myth.
So if its real, I wanna know "how'd they do that?" Title: Re: Trippy staircase illusion Post by: Pappy13 on May 03, 2013, 10:06:16 am Yes, it's a trick. The trick is convincing you that it's real. :)
Link to the Penn and Teller discussion on these forums (http://www.thedolphinsmakemecry.com/forums/index.php?topic=18686.0) Title: Re: Trippy staircase illusion Post by: Brian Fein on May 03, 2013, 10:19:59 am I watched it again and I realize how it is done. As I suspected. But it is very cleverly put together I will say. Some real editing talent went into making this video.
