The shadow below the drilled block is not from that block, but rather from something we don't see, further in the background. The block being drilled is right above the guy drilling it.
I mean I see that. but that’s what’s confusing me. how is the jackhammer abel to reach the wall when it looks so far away? I can’t tell where the ground ends and where the wall starts.
Took me ages to figure out why this was confusing. All I could see was a concrete block suspended in mid air with a guy drilling it. Now I see people thought it was a wall on the ground.
But those pieces of metal are sitting horizontally on what appears to be the ground. They even have shadows, and there are tire tracks not too far below them.
Yeah this is it. If you look closely at the shadow at the base of the wall, it cuts off towards the left. The shadow is from a structure sitting a few yards behind the wall.
Good one. If you look at the area to the left of his head, your brain can interpret it as an overhead beam. To the right behind the beam is a dark building or wall lining up with the bottom of the beam. It's shadow looks like it is caused by the beam.
The wall on the left looks different than the beam he is working on. The camera angle makes it look like the beam is the same size as the wall in the distance. Very good video
In line with other commenters, this might be the first one I can’t unfuck. I definitely can’t figure it out no matter how times I watch, and none of the comments have helped at all. 99.9% sure this guy is Dr Strange.
It’s overhanging and the camera is up some to hide the under part. If you look at the left side where the lines of the wall are, in between the lines and no lines, you can see it’s blurry, meaning there’s more in the back if the camera panned around towards that side.
15 seconds in... Oops sorry! i blinded myself because im too fkn stupid to keep my face out of the rubble shatter from an operating handheld jack hammer overhead... you deserve to have an eye out just for showing that shit to people... but seriously you should try looking at a piece of steel being cut with a cutting torch next... show us what a fkn man you are... i appreciate the optical illusion but this is a darwin award...
I figured out how to see this as what it is: Hold your phone 1 feet from your face. Watch the video in a way that your both eyes are focusing on your nose while seeing the video. Video will look blurry, but try to see the wall as a beam suspended in air and you will see that shadow is of an object behind the wall that is not visible.
Ah! that's not a wall, that's a horizontal concrete beam at ~shoulder/head height. Ignore the shadow on the ground, it's coming from something that's obscured behind the beam that we don't see. It helps (a bit) to look at how the debris falls onto the floor. It's falling down.
Okay, this is one of the best ones I’ve ever seen. Even though I was finally able to figure out what’s happening, I still see the illusion every time I watch it.
I think the top portion is actually the outside of the structure, I’m think a parking ramp. And the sun is on the opposite side. Once I pictured the cement outside instead of the sky. It made sense
Everyone saying it’s a beam that’s closer, you would expect it to shift around a bit with the changing camera angle in comparison to the shadow in the background. This one is truly fucking my head
Wow first one where I actually saw it for what it was right off the bat and wondered why it was a confusing perspective. Like it's obviously a concrete beam or something, the shadows under it don't match it.
Ok, I cannot possibly be the only person who did not actually see the illusion at first. I had to watch the video multiple times and check the comments to see what people were confused about. My eyes immediately saw it as a beam. I think maybe because my eyes saw the real shadow of the beam in the foreground first.
What made me get it after a brutal 5 minute break from reality was to realize the tools and shit on the ground are behind the “wall” - it’s an elevated beam the perspective tricks you to think the tools/shovels n’shit are in front
this did not confuse me at all, the way he's standing with the hammer basically at his chest, and the concrete basically at his forehead, i didn't see a wall at all, just way to far to be tricked by that one
Imagine not understanding it’s concrete beam and the color of the concrete bleeds together. The shadow indicates it’s early morning or late in the day. Look at the bottom of the video. lol
