Anamorphic Illusion Video


(Watch on YouTube) Anamorphic illusions are flat designs that look one way from one direction and another way when you turn them. This impressive video shows what seems to be a series of common objects sitting on paper. Then they are turned to reveal the trickery. What really sells it to me is the camera zooming in and racking focus—Oh, and the cat.

    Holbein's "The Ambassadors" is perhaps the most well known example of this effect. Are there any other famous ones?

    Hi I don't know if you're familiar with Georges Rousse's anamorphic-architectural photography...you should check it out!
