That's cool.

 

[HellToupee]

Awesome. Click the parking space link

 

[SteevieG]

Pretty awesome!!

 

[Scoresman]

Awesome. Click the parking space link

Cant people just park there anyway, or is this some city where you can only park where there's a blue P sign?

 

[Sarnoff]

Awesome. Click the parking space link

An old propmaster I worked with had a better solution, he had a fake fire hydrant. Before he pulled out of a spot, he'd put the hydrant there by the curb. Spot was always empty when he got back.

FAKE

That large dinosaur would be awesome in the corner of a kid's room.

The dinosaurs were all the same size. The "large" one was in a very detailed scale room model. It's tough to tell, but the beer cans on the kitchen counter give it away.

We've used the no parking signs tied off to posts and trees at location to save our spots in the past. Especially at street festivals like Sunset Junction where there are no parking signs all over the place.

I don't know about that.

Yeah. I'm not so sure about that, either.

Yeah I am having trouble believing they went to the trouble to build a full room to scale for this. Further if we are looking to containers to prove something what about the juice bottle(maybe Gatorade) on the TV stand? Or the light behind the T-Rex that would have had to be tiny to not blow the scale. I am going with that is a full size model that made it easier to show how the illusion worked.

You can see the little ones on the table when they show the back of the big one.

 

[mad sweeney]

I was joking folks. The CD racks by the TV would be incredibly difficult to scale to that size and the cans on the counter are so far back that nothing about them could be used to determine it was scale.

It's an illusion. They're actually a half inch tall.

I made one of these earlier in the week to show the kids. They loved it, but there's one weird thing about it... it tricks a camera, but parallax wrecks it. You have to close an eye for it to work in person.

There's been something similar (same principle) in the Haunted House ride at Disneyland since I was a kid. The illusion looked great live, but maybe it had to do with the way the faces were illuminated in the dark (as opposed to the dinosaurs, which are in normal lighting).

riiiiiiiight

 

[Pots]

I'm absolutely amazed so many people haven't seen this paper dragon illusion before.

 

[sports_fan]

FAKE

huh?

Thank you. You chiming in on this is pretty much a confirmation since you can't find yourself on the right side of just about anything.

It's not a real dinosaur.
