    • @ninjakivi2

      even if it does; the video was uploaded to youtube with less than 30 FPS, I think that's the problem.

    • @jakkank
      @jakkank 6 років тому

      ua-cam.com/video/dNVtMmLlnoE/v-deo.html Camera have a hard time catching this kind of illusion because they don't work the same way as eyes. It's not the refresh rate/fps.

    • @ninjakivi2
      @ninjakivi2 6 років тому

      You're right, but with fast enough camera FPS I'm sure you would still catch the illusion anyway; does anyone with a slow-motion camera wants to test that?

    • @celesefernal2490
      @celesefernal2490 7 років тому +14

      Often when a scene is re-recorded multiple times, especially a particularly long one, usually the people in it tends to speed up. So I think he must have had to tried quite a lot of times for this particular video

    • @tonk82
      @tonk82 7 років тому +13

He suggests proportions for diy using a bit of plastic pipe, 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 ratio of length to diameter, if memory serves. Like many optical effects it works better live than on video, but a vertical viewpoint would have helped....

  • @swudurshchurf2386
    @swudurshchurf2386 3 роки тому

    Holy cow, I used to to take the caps off of mechanical pencils and shoot them away with that little snapdown technique you use to start the tops. They'd spin like tops if they landed on a table or the floor but they always flew through the air in about the same path, so if you were good enough with your aim you could send them right past a friend's head or land one in their hair.
