    SPOILER: DONT READ if you dont wanna ruin the magic.
    When the last scene starts the camera is positioned on a slider wich makes it sturdy and it slides from right to left and pans from left to right and right after it finishes the movements its that moment when its positioned perfectly for the specific angle to give you the illusion of escalating waterslide. Then Zach must be also ready to spill the water and freeze. Then the structure can be replaced with a real one where those ends are connected. Is it possible to have that much force to escalate the duck to upstairs and drop it from there just by spilling the water ? That i dont know. Im sure there is one more trick to that, but i have to think a bit more :D
    For those who dont know After effects i know you will say that camera was shaking etc.... answer: there's a special command in AE that lets you wiggle the camera even if it was stationary. There are also many other ways of faking the movement.

  • @alan-baird
    @alan-baird 5 лет назад +4

    I notice that the duck does change from real to a freeze frame any time it passes one of the gaps. You can tell because if you watch it back at .25x, you can see how it has a natural rotation and bobble. Then when it crosses a gap, it freezes its rotation and bobble. So that has something to do with it, not sure about the rest yet, but I'm getting there.

    My math teacher likes MC Escher's artwork. Sometimes in our free time she shows us some of his illusions, including that one, and even let's us make our own.

    What i think happened was that once they aligned it, they set the picture to freeze and then used CGI to make the duck move up. At some point they replaced the real duck with a CGI one and 1:02 is when the used the CGI to set the waterfall in place
