Glide 2

Blog post with lots of details at http://straylight.co.uk/?p=120 . But to answer the most common question, this was filmed with a casio exilim fh20.

A reprise of the previous: same journey, same station, but a Saturday morning this time.

I discovered this because it was on the home page of Yahoo France and in the article they wrote that this was taken from a TGV, is this correct ?

btw: that's a very good idea you had to do this!

[StraylightUK]

Quite a few people on twitter have suggested this is a TGV, but no: it's a British Intercity 125. Nowhere near as fast, but you can open the windows on the doors to stick the camera out!

Essentially, wouldn't this be the largest photo ever? It can easily be converted into a huge photo...

[StraylightUK]

Sure, that'd be another (easier?) way to achieve this in HD: arrange a series of cameras along the other platform, fire them all at once, and stitch the results together into one huge panorama. Then just scroll from left to right at a fixed speed, or make a video with a virtual camera doing the same, or print it out, hang it on a wall and walk past...

Hi, there's actually no 3d efect added; you're experiencing something called the Pulfrich effect whereby the brain interprets sideways movement as depth information. Apparently it's more pronounced if you put a dark filter over one eye- and based on the fact I don't see it, depends quite a lot on the individual too!

agreed :-) youtube.com/watch?v=QB2_whXAHL­o

I recommend this diving video from Norway - Using a Casio Exilim in a "plastic bag": Diving in Norway - Flekkerøy

Smoke weed....same effect.

@StraylightUK That's how they did the Matrix. @inagra It's 3D, though, you can't just stitch frames together.
