Mirror cube stop motion video

A quick stop-motion video I created in solving a Mirror Cube (also called a bump cube). It's basically a Rubik's cube that has an offset center. Instead of going by colours, you go by depths, thicknesses, etc. of the pieces. Seriously, this type of puzzle cube doesn't get NEARLY as much publicity as it should. This cube is awesome :D

The brightness is completely off in a few places, due to a mirrored side being at just the right angle to reflect the sun directly into the camera. I didn't notice it until I was combining the images. Oh well... I'm not about to go through the effort of making this again. It's also fairly short (and the video being shown in reverse like most Rubik's stop-motions), because after 300 or so images, I'd had enough. There was various issues between my camera and the computer (ended up just pushing the button manually for every single image), and I was getting tired of wedging balls of tape under the cube when it started falling over to have it drop more gradually in the video. This cube when mixed up is NOT fond of staying balanced :P.

@WafflesMgee And what makes you doubt his ability to actually solve it?

[WafflesMgee]

I believe you did do the stop motion of it, but you did it backwards. So you actually were messin' the cube up, but people see you are sorting it.

Smart.
