@o0hya Because people will automatically assume that something is upright, we have a few set assumptions and when these are taken from us our minds get confused. Camera tricks play to these frames in our minds.
I could have SWORN I saw him move his hand all the way in front of the cork, but looking at it now I realize he didn't. He didn't need to, because most people would assume that if it's hanging from a string it would be above, so they look to see if he moves his hand over it, which he did. Well, from our perspective anyway. :P
the popcan was behind his head because if he were to lean his head all the way back it would be noticable hes on the ground, but with a popcan holding his head up it looked normal (especially with the black background blending in.
@mrtjb9123 He is resting his head on it so that it is elevated and he looks like he is upright. When you really lay all the way down your head goes back and your face kinda stretches to the sides.. which would be a giveaway.
@mrtjb9123 You got 89 thumbs up for that question? Been 7 months but if you haven't gotten a reply I've got one for you.
It's to rest his head on, it allowed him to have his head raised from the floor which helped simulate the illusion that he was upright not laying down.
@mrtjb9123 so it gives the illusion that you're looking forward. your head angling is different when your laying down then standing up. Try it sometime.
@mrtjb9123 it took me awhile to figure this out, but the point of the soda can in the black sock is it be used as a head rest, and something to keep your head from laying completly flat. at 1:01 through 1:10 you can see him laying his head on it
Hey, check out our new videos! We have tons of ideas for funny video ideas and just bought four air horns for our next videos, so if you want to see that, subscribe! and we will return the favor. Thanks, DubleAFilms
Duh of course. Thanks cocopops149. After you said that, I looked back at the vid and see it there. I guess its to keep his head in a natural looking position.
Figured, he didn't go from the front so I thought he had a string behind and in front of him, I was kind of right, except he was on the ground and it was only in front of him.
i dont think it was the explanation cuzz he puts his hand behind it and in front of it on all sides, just rewind n ull see, but he was really good vids
It's not hard. He puts his hand behind. Makes sense, because theres nothing underneath it. He never puts it in front directly because that's where the string is. He can easily put it on all other sides, cuz theres nothing there.
Why do I feel like an idiot after seeing the solution?
