Christopher Walken Illusion
April 04, 2006 by Vurdlak
This ubercool Illusion of Christopher Walken flying through space is our newest submission. Believe it or not, this magical "animated" illusion is a composition of only four frames. The second two are just color-inverted originals (with small modification in shiftment from the original). It gives you opinion Chris is drifting through galaxy, while in fact he's just leaning millimeter back and fourth for our photo-session ;) Another awesome example is "Flying Through City" illusion, as well as "3D Dino" illusion and "Scary Spider" illusion. Check "Optical illusion of the day" widgets to get these illusions on your desktop each day!

you can leave the cursor over a star & watch the image shift.
It really looks like a bad Sci-Fi flick
liar - it's 4 frames, and there is movement.
cooooool
That's wacky.
I don't believe!
Though, a fellow of mine didn't, and dragged the image into Preview (Mac OS X Image Viewer).
It shows 4 pictures and that they are shifted!
Just drag the above gif into any suitable tool to display the single frames of an animated gif.
It will show 4 Frames, every 2nd shifted.
(Thanks to my fellow Jan)
Actually, it's four(4) images, I just opened it in a gif animation program. The positive gets two frames, and the negative gets two frames. There is an illusion of constant motion because of the flip from + to -, but there is also actual animation of the Walken happening.
This time you are all right, I appologize for lack of information. Description will be fixed in a second. Still, this is wonderfull optical illusion in my opinnion.
Edited!
Hope it's ok now! I appreciate all of your comments...
Actually, once loaded in an animated GIF editor, the picture is revealed to be FOUR images:
The first and second images are normal black and white, the second image shifted from the first.
The third and fourth images are inverted, and the fourth image is shifted from the third. This shifting is in the opposite direction from the first two frames.
The illusion isn't in the fact that it's ony two frames. The illusion is in the fact that it appears to be continuous motion in only one direction.
This is old - posted lot's of sites already - certainly not original if that's what you're implying.
Holy crap, you picky bastards...
It's an awesome image/animation.
Leave it at that.
I agree with Jason!!! He He
It does look like he's flying, cool! :)

i agree with farted, nessa, and jason...and to no: u retard thats y its called an illusion
OMG HES GUNNA EAT ME
If you guys are looking for a great Christopher Walken, check out this short film on You Tube. It's from a series of shorts featuring actors playing Christopher Walken and Al Pacino Interpreting Important Moments in History. This films chronicles TOM AND KATIE'S SILENT BIRTH, with Walken as Cruise, and Pacino as Holmes (as if it could be the other way around...) Hope you enjoy it.

its just like that bunny thing. *shiver* creepy
To those 'debunking' the image by claiming it has 4 frames and movement, this is specified in the post.
The illusion is in the fact that those four frames create the effect that he is constantly moving in one direction, rather than flicking back and forth on the spot.
way to go jason i agree!
it looks like he is flying out of space.. not into.. next time try harder.. lol but nice for little kids hehe
ax
Pretty cool!.

Cool illusion. Real flight! :)
