Optical Illusion Dinosaur

By Alex in Video Clips on Jun 18, 2008 at 1:08 pm

We posted the 10 Optical Illusions in 2 minutes viral ad for Samsung Soul cell phone a while ago – the first optical illusion (the dinosaur) was so popular that Claudio Branno and the rest of the ad team decided to bring him out for a tour around England.

I can’t get enough how "Dino" turns his head to look straightatcha! Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] – Thanks Claudio!

Previously on Neatorama: make your own (smaller) version Dragon Paper Sculpture

You can download a pdf w/instructions for a smaller cut out. I have no skills, and I got it to work.

I have one of the smaller versions sitting on my desk, which I printed out after seeing the effect on video. It is a neat effect, but not as spectacular as it seems to be when captured with a single-lens camera (you have to squint just right to trick your brain). I think most of those people are not marveling at the illusion, but trying to figure out what the dinosaur is all about.

haa haa we had one of those (smaller version of course) sitting right behind me at my old office. For some reason it never got old.
