I was recommended the same, and liked it 
Not sure why this one wasn’t recommended to me sooner though, as I love and appreciate stop motion (only partly in this video), and this idea just screams for more.

So did you already watch the Karel Zeman documentary?

I don’t think I have, being the cheapskate I am at times. I assume you are referring to ‘Film Adventurer Karel Zeman (2015)’? I have seen a quite a few of his works though.

Yes! Cool that they subtitled it. I watched some parts of the documentary in a small museum that was dedicated to his works. (He directed his own documentary, you can bet he would not leave that task to somebody else. 
)
I assume magicians like David Copperfield use similar optical illusions. And the blurriness of old film also helps. Skycaptain in the World of Tomorrow, for example, had similar visuals — but was done with digital techniques.
Zeman had this team of craftspeople who just approached every scene with an open mind, they didn’t wait for the invention of CGI. Who says the background has to be in the background? Rotated floor, steep cliff, same thing! Of course you can walk up the back of a sleeping dinosaur, which dinosaur do you want?! 
And you have to remember he lived and worked “behind the iron curtain”, where free expression of artists was limited. If you wanted to express yourself, writing fantasy books / films was the only legal way — because then you could respond, “I‘m not criticising the government, I‘m quoting from a 100-years-old fairytale that will only be watched by children…“ So creative people all flocked into the fairytale/puppetry business.

Heathrow…isn’t this where a person can learn to fly? By being so distracted by discovering their missing luggage that they forget they are falling? I had read about it but never witnessed it before.

I quite like this one. It’s a bit more subtle. The thing is, there’s no red in this picture. There’s only yellow, blue, and grey.
You see red strawberries - but they’re actually grey. No red at all. None.

Grey contains red. it is red+blue+yellow (+white to lighten it) >.>
That said, it shows how our eyes adjust, or our brain adjusts what we see in order to make sense of the world.

Imagine these people having access to nukes and setting them off to sell more paint. Did a salesman come to your door with a small tactical nuke to demonstrate the fireproofing abilities of fresh paint?
“Now, I’m just going to apply some fresh paint here, and here… but leave this bit blank. Notice what happens when I set off this small nuke. Here, put this bucket on your head.”

When I was a kid in the 1950s, shoe shops had X-Ray machines to show the bones in children’s feet on a fluorescent screen. The machines were operated by sales staff with no medical or radiological training. There was no radiation screening, no dose meters, and no limit on how often people could use the machines. They were irradiating children (and anyone else who happened to be around) for entertainment, and to sell more shoes.
Would those people have nuked your house to sell paint? Yes, they probably would.
