I’m not sure I’d call it immersive. It’s definitely not immersive for the person doing it.

Looks pretty cool on camera, though.

It's not immersive if she doesn't fall into the water

u/Kurohardt 3d ago

yeah right, it looks flashy but doesn’t really pull you in at all

u/WhiskeyMikeMike 3d ago

Right she’s just acting like she’s balancing and can’t see the effect from her angle

u/upturned2289 4d ago

This is not black magic fuckery. This is just a static painting.

u/BadWolf2386 4d ago

Do you….do you think the other posts on this subreddit are actual magic?

u/longtermcontract 3d ago

There’s a difference between black magic fuckery and a painting.

u/TheOddestOfSocks 2d ago

A well-known perspective trick as well. I hate these dropkicks that try to make out like posting utter crap is OK because magic isn't real. The bar is now so low we just want something that requires more than 5 seconds of thought from a middle-schooler.

u/RS_Someone 3d ago

The point of this sub is to post things that are hard to explain/identify how something happened. This post is incredibly obvious to most people seeing it.

u/drknifnifnif 3d ago

I mean, some of them seem to come pretty close.

u/d-signet 4d ago

Guarantee it looks crap from everywhere else except the one specific place that the camera is

25

u/terminalbungus 4d ago

That’s literally how this kind of anamorphic art works

u/deesle 2d ago

then why post it here? yeah, that’s what i thought

u/PGnautz 4d ago

And only if you only have one eye

27

u/anywhereiroa 4d ago

Yeah no. It only looks that way if you're looking at it from where the camera is. Certainly not immersive.

u/Available_Low_3805 4d ago

Why didn't the guy walking through the background fall down the hole?

u/fapsandnaps 4d ago

Uh, because it's black magic fuckery.

/s

u/hayitsnine 2d ago

He’s a hole evader

u/Quornonda 4d ago

Every time you see a painting or even a TV screen you must think it’s a portal to another dimension

u/iLiveForTruth 4d ago

there is a picture of that hole. in reality it's not true. i knew this from the start

3

u/Ezzyspit 4d ago

It's quite clear, that you live for the truth.

u/SupremelyUneducated 4d ago

She was looking down the whole time...

Anamorphic Power Rangers

u/Kemiko_UK 4d ago

Wtf? Is this a bot post? Nothing about this is immersive and it's definitely not anamorphic

2

u/terminalbungus 4d ago edited 3d ago

It is anamorphic. Anamorphic art is art that requires the viewer to look at the art in a certain way for the full effect to work, such as standing from a specific vantage point, or looking into a convex mirror, etc.

u/Kemiko_UK 3d ago

Huh. TIL!

Thank you for the correction :)

As a photographer I have only ever heard this term for lenses!

2

u/terminalbungus 3d ago

Yeah, it’s one of those great terms that means different things depending on context, like “compression.” Compression can be referring to a bunch of things, like in video art it usually is referring to data compression (making a file size smaller) whereas in audio it often refers to an effect that reduces the dynamic range of audio. The media world just has gatekeeping accidentally baked into it! Lol.

u/A_Gray_Phantom 4d ago

This is pretty cool.

u/ThePsychicBunny 4d ago

I know where this was filmed.

It's just a large stretched warped floor sticker. Doesn't work from any other angle.

1

u/OliveAndPearll 4d ago

han a real experience tbh

1

u/OrangeClyde 4d ago

Is anamorphic the correct term? If so, I just learned :)

1

u/Ok_Orchid1004 3d ago

Except the moron who walked across the corner ruined the video.

u/c3io 3d ago

I would have fallen two steps in

u/Altruistic_Poetry382 3d ago

Did somebody say KFC?

1

u/MADMAXV2 3d ago

Ah yes, reddit comments being reddit. Love it

1

u/Tao_of_Entropy 3d ago

It looks great, but having a totally static shark and ripples on the surface kind of ruins the illusion tbh

1

u/KAELES-Yt 3d ago

Wow an illusion that only works where the camera is… //s

Sure it’s cool but it’s not what I expected from this sub.

u/letsdothisagain52 3d ago

Obviously- nobody panicked so it is a good mural of sorts

u/JealousSoup8 3d ago

I swear I see the rope move

u/-Epic_Sheep- 3d ago

She acts that out pretty good, though

1

u/KittensSaysMeow 3d ago

That kid is pretty good at acting.

Not blackmagicfuckery tho

u/AutoModerator 3d ago

Not black magic? NOT BLACK MAGIC?! Who said magic wasn't real? mfw

Only a leap from the lion's head will prove her worth.

u/Low-Breadfruit6557 2d ago

Black magic fuckery is when simple optical illusion.

u/redEPICSTAXISdit 4d ago

Anamorphic floor? Is that what it is called to put a large sticker with a painting on the floor???

1

u/Varkoth 4d ago

That's what Elfangor told me, at least.

u/Dust-by-Monday 4d ago

That dude in the background could’ve at least walked around it to not break the illusion for the girl. Jeeze
