On one hand, I feel like this dude is going all RIAA/MPAA on a small town newspaper run by old folk trying to stay in business

30 years ago when I went to the University of Queensland, this experiment sat outside out physics lecture theatre. One of our favourite hobbies was to stomp up and down on the floor beside it, hoping the vibrations would help induce something to happen. Nothing ever did, of course.

Heh... All my whining about forced perspective and I only just read the article's title... "This Is Not Fancy Camerawork..." - well, no, Andrew, it's mostly just fancy camera work :)

Ah, now we can get an actual sense of its size (well, in one bit - they're still forcing the perspective in many of those shots). That crab does not look like it is in a very good mood :)
