some see her spinning on her left foot going clockwise, some see her on her right foot spinning counter-clockwise..

Watch it for a while and make up your mind, then follow the shadow on the bottom of the screen for 10 seconds and look back at her.. she's spinning the other way and now I can't get her to go back ... before I couldn't understand how she could be going counter-clockwise.. now I can't understand how she could be going clockwise lol

That is sweet! I can get it to change direction by focusing on the foot that is on the ground and thinking in my head that it is turning the opposite direction!

The animation is changing. I bet you're getting distracted by the shadow changing, so you look down, then back up to see her going in the opposite direction. Just look at 3:25. The shadow changes first, then the next rotation she does.

I see it turning inside out... a collage of organs, bones, tissues and fluids... moving outward from the center of my screen. And while it plays I hear the Destiny's Child version of "Upside Down" in the back of my mind. So... would that be right or left brain?



i see left foot going clockwise?

whoa....looking at the shadow made it switch.....



whoaaaaaaaa........making it switch back and forth mid turn......this is weird.

we should all try it drunk....see who pukes first :lol:

nooooo its on a loop or something. it does a little skip thing at other parts too. i think you are captivated!

No man, I'm serious. I can make it change direction at any given time.. it had nothing to do with the time of the video. Try it!

yeah steves right, the gif itself is the thing that changes, every 30 seconds iirc

Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but I can get it to turn either way at any point. one turn left. one turn right. one turn left.... etc.. I think I am going crazy...


This one is actually better to look at. it is easier to see that the GIF is not manipulated.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFV6h6MXQkI&feature=related

Looking down at the shadow cane make it change direction when you look back up. It always starts clockwise for me though and I have to look at the shadow to make it change. Pretty cool, that means both sides of my brain are working! Now should I drink the beer with the right brain or the left? :nod:
