It's an optical illusion. Notice the shadow are going away from the camera. And if you look closely, you can see the shadow of her on the ground, away from the viewer. There is just a wooden platform on the sand, and the shadow is from a flag (notice there are flags on the beach)
That picture of the lady is not an illusion. It's real look at the bottom of the board. It's slightly covered in sand. That shadow is wat looks to be a flag
floating beach board lady is fake. yes i know this is the typical FAKE comment that i myself hate but a few things to consider. theres a dark shadow directly under the board itself (cover up the "shadow" and see for yourself. the womans shadow is going the opposite direction. and shadows are one of our minds cue to noticing depth, in other words its an illusion.
1:03 the plank of wood appears to be floating but in reality is not, a shadow appears to be cast by the platform but in reality it one most likely from a nearby flag
@EvilShedz he said "What's wrong with the woman on a platform on a beach with flags and shadows and military dudes at 1:04? I see nothing wrong with it!
@McShoelin it looks like it is floating! but it isnt it is farther back closer to the water but there is a flag and is casting a shadow the shape of the thing so it looks like it is floating!
but I cant stand when an ad at the side of the screen causes the suggested videos to move down when I am trying to choose one, which then makes me go to a video that I dont want to go to
i'm just wondering if that tickling robot messes with someone's REM cycles. more importantly, i looove the computerized objects - it would be awesome to see more augmented reality technology.
Pretty cool illusion, not quite perfect though, as the angle of the flag's shadow is differently oriented than rug's orientation....still, pretty neato.
@laughoutloudall because it looks like she's floating from the shadow of the flag... he meant nothing offensive with his "aaaaaaaaaaah".... it was just an unintentional optical illusion.
Lightest Material's Unique Structure: The structure of the material is made of 100-nanometer-thick hollow tubes formed in a micro-lattice process. The material is 99.99% open volume, meaning it is mostly air, and is extremely resilient to impact and shock absorbent.
@HeadDaniel No, the cameraman is not doing the same, "just" operating the camera. I can tell that because it´s me! ;-) Please visit my YouTube channel, I have so much more crazy stuff to show!
@laughoutloudall It's supposed to be an optical illusion. It took me a while to get to, but if you look at it long enough it kind of looks like the platform she's standing on is floating. There is a flag off camera that projects a shadow that makes it look the the platform she's standing on is floating instead of on the sand.
@laughoutloudall you guys don't get it, it IS a floating platform, what's bothering is that the microphone have a shadow, but where is the lady's shadow?
@izuxiria actually, its just an optical illusion, there is a flag off screen somwhere thats casting a shadow that gives the illusion of a floating platform...
@laughoutloudall well, the flag shadow creates a perspective illusion, which makes it seem as if the platform is floating above the sand, which, as most of us know, is impossible. just another random factoid by me. :)
@laughoutloudall If you pause the video, it kinda looks like the platform the woman is standing on is floating because of the shadow from the flag that you can't see. :D
