Amazing Animated Optical Illusions!

YouTube Description:

The final animation is sort of an encore of 2 previous popular animations. There was pacman and there was the gun. So I combined them. Pacman eating the bullets from the gun.

Very cool, but I'd hesitate to call these optical illusions. That is, unless you want to call video in general an optical illusion. Usually an illusion highlights a perceptual heuristic gone awry. This is a just a clever form of animation really.

If we want to be pedantic, animation (and film) are optical illusions themselves, in that they fool the brain into thinking a series of still images are in motion.

Right, that's what I meant by "unless we want to call video in general an optical illusion."


oops, I was so intent on pedantery I overlooked that part of your comment. My humblest apologies. *hangs head*

Don't beat yourself up! Your pedantry is appreciated anyhow.
