This page shows a number of optical illusion concept tests I did for this film.
3. Another early concept was to use a line character instead of a string. Here is a test for the line animation.
7. Another folding image.
8. This scene shows a field of flowers through a window. The window panes move around to become a living room.
5. Another perspective shift but in this one, one discernible image turns into another.
6. Originally, I was to have a number of images that changed when folded, as seen in the back of MAD magazine.
9. This concept was to have the string walk across a bridge that continuously built itself with a series of popsicle sticks. The sticks then re-postion themselves to form the string's house.
1. This test uses perspective to show an object's contours changing based on position.
4. This is my first perspective shift test. Disparate lines form into an image as the camera changes perspective.
2. An early idea for the film was to incorporate moving shadows. Originally I was going to use an outline as shown here.
