@CorRinahMcKaii This is so beyond a template...sorry. I always accomodate ppl with templates/copies of my work but this one is just huge and really impossible to send any sort of template. Thanks for watching and let me know if you want a copy of any of my other illusions :)
@sockondik12 It's partly because of the contrast of the bright cube and the dark background. Also, I created a 3d effect by painting on surface of the cube light gray so it looks shadowed. The biggest reason, though, is because you're seeing it in 2D and that makes a huge difference. If you look at it in real life, it has much less of a 3D effect unless you close one eye ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!
Actually, the whole thing is completely flat. I painted this for another illusion video which ended up not working out. When I saw how weird the cube looked as I moved the camera, I decided to shoot this video :) Thanks for watching!
You guys are amazing. I just checked out your channel and was absolutely blown away. Great stuff. I encourage you to spread your YT links around the web if you haven't already so that the world can see your work. Again, amazing work!
Oh, no no no. It's the back of a vinyl mat on which I painted the entire thing (including the cube). It just has a weird effect on your eye when you see it on video...in 2 dimensional view. You're saying that the cube is fake (made on the pc)....that's wrong. Thank you though. I take this as a compliment even though you are a bit confused :) Thanks for watching!!
Good question. This effect is much more intensified when watching through camera. To the naked eye, you can really tell that it's just a flat painting. I took advantage of the fact that it is much more intense when seen on film....not to be "fake", but in an effort to produce unique art. Thank you so much for watching!
I will try to at least make a video showing how I made it and what it looks like from various angles. I'm working on something else right now, but thank you for suggesting wht you want to see.
@etuak Very oblong...If you go back to around the middle of the video there's a part where I am almost above it w/ my camera. You'll see what I mean. Thanks for watching.
It's anamorphic art so it relies on seeing it in 2D (like on YT). If you saw it in real life it would look totally different. I drew it by looking in my camera's lcd screen and making a cube based on that lcd view. It took forever. Then I just painted it really carefully. The front left surface of the cube is gray to make it look more 3D. If you have more questions, just send me a message and I'll be glad to help.
@Jaskatzu Yep... I painted the left front side of the "cube" gray and the other 2 sides white. It's a flat painting on the back of a piece of leftover vinyl flooring. Just do an image search for "anamorphic art" and you will be blown away by what you see :)
@thisxisxaxstickxup It's very hard to explain it in a RU-vid reply. My best advice to you is to search the web for "how to create anamorphic art". There will be some helpful sites for you and you'll also see that the art in this video is actually really basic anamorphic art...lol. There is some amazing work out there that will blow you away :) Thanks for watching!
@TheLitefire Pause is at :43 and you'll get the best view of what it looks like from straight above. It's just a flat drawing that I painted (white on 2 of the cube's sides and grey on the 3rd side to help with shadowing). Then I painted the rest of the surface dark blue for contrast. It's all about the camera angle. It just looks 3d in a 2 dimensional world like the internet. Hope that helps.
The best way I can describe it is this: I set up my camera and looked at the lcd to get the dimensions right so it looked like a cube on video...made it on the back of a leftover piece of vinyl flooring (drew it out, painted two of the sides of the cube white and the front side light gray). Then, I just painted the rest of it blue. The key was using the camera view as the guide for the dimensions of the cube. As you can see. It looks nothing like a cube when seen from straight above.
@wierdmonster09 Use anything flat (I made it on the back of a leftover piece of vinyl flooring). It's just a flat drawing that I then painted. It's trickier than just drawing a 3D-looking cube though. I marked corners/lines of the cube by looking into my camera's LCD screen. It ended up being about 3 feet high and distorted (narrow at the bottom/wider at the top). The 2 dimensional view on here is so different from what it looks like in reality. Search "anamorphic art", you'll be AMAZED!
uhuh..if you see it as a 3D object it seems to have a more intense effect. If not, it's like you said..filming squares..lol. Thanks for watching though.
@VeonThief This is just the natural effect that the painting has when you look at it in 2D. No special effects were used. It's an anamorphic painting. Google that if you want to..there's some really amazing stuff you''ll find.
It takes a really long time to make and it's hard to explain in words...I put my video camera right where I knew I would shoot the video and then drew a 3D-looking cube based on what I saw through the camera. Then I painted the whole thing. If you search "anamorphic art", you will find really cool examples of this kind of thing and probably some how-to info.
Bravo. This is a good example of an 'axometric projection', a form of drawing representing three dimensional space in two dimensions. The lengths of the sides are all the same, but rotated at a parallel angle from the face. It can be learned in five minutes. The Chinese invented it three thousand years ago and it regained popularity among modern architects in the 60's and 70's, particularly by John Hedjuk, James Stitling, Peter Eisenman and Raimund Abraham among others.
actually I painted this on the back of a piece of leftover vinyl flooring. thanks for the compliment though! maybe I should make some rugs and sell them
@EL95GE It's a flat drawing I did and then painted it, but it's WAY too big to scan. Try this: Full screen the video, pick a spot in the video that you want, pause it, press "Alt" and "print screen" at the same time, open up Paint and paste it in (press "Ctrl" and v at the same time). Then print it out. All of this will work if you're using Microsoft of course.
That would be awesome, but it's actually the back side of a rectangular piece of leftover vinyl flooring. I wouldn't paint that on my hardwood floor :)
@dbsz I actually looked in my video camera's lcd screen and went from there. I sketched it and made changes along the way by going back and forth from the camera to the drawing. It took forever. Then I painted it.
Guys, it's simply a flat piece of cardboard with some lines drawn on it, that's all. It's not a three dimensionsl cube. Anyone with a piece of paper, pencil, ruler and scissors can make this.
Like any other picture\drawing on a 2D surface, it's only natural that it vexes when you change your point of view, well known fenomenon. And with a simple shape like that, no wonder it appears to vex extra much, since that is all the eye focuses on. If this were to be inserted into a larger picture, it wouldn't have nearly the same effect on the mind\eye. I like it though.
Thanks! No, the it just looks like a long, stretched out weird-shaped cube in reality. If you close one eye though, you do get an effect similar to the video. Thanks again.
It's sort of like those ads soccer firlds have painted on the grass... on tv they look alright, but if you are in the actual field it looks totally different. It depends from the angle you look at it.
@greeenpro2009 Wow i don't have that much patients or artistic ability but thanks for telling me how it works! I subbed just because of this. I hope to see more cool things from you!
