0 Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) Nice. But how do they make it? My Google-Fu isn't up to finding the maker today. Brain Den does a good job of letting us know who the creators of various optical illusions are. But it annoys me that many optical illusion pages give no attribution whatsoever. (I'm not criticizing akaslickster -- I imagine he found it on one of the optical illusion pages that give no attribution).

0 Guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Very nice hop, the only thing i notice different with your animation and the op animation is as follows: 1 is row 5 is stationary on your animation however on op it twists, basically because op is made with a series of two dots per row instead of one solid. on the 1st row some dots "disappear" I imagine these do this due to size constraints in the image itself and not on original coding. Overall I really like your Animation better. Op animation is very well programmed and is a nice go CrAzY illusion. It seems to me both animations resemble some sort of symbolism towards a governing body, Management, Government, Board of Directors or what have you. as the governing body twists and pulls at the people affected they twist and pull on those below and so forth until what is supposed to happen is a shatter point but instead like most great governing bodies they somehow keep some peace and the process begins again. the constant motion of twists, made my Hop i love it.

I've thought of the citizens of a nation or members of a church as being parts of a larger body -- cells in a multicellular organism, so to speak. I've also thought of such bodies fragmenting and re-coalescing into new bodies. But that was the furthest thing from my mind when doing this animation. But it does work as a metaphor for a recurring pattern in human behavior. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
