It's a great example of how convincing the "miniature" effect can look - our eyes and brains can be easily fooled into thinking that we're watching some computer-rendered animation of a miniature city. <a href="http://digital-artist-toolbox.com/?p=24" target="_blank">This collection of photos is equally mind-bending</a> - it's really hard to believe that the photo of the red classic car isn't a small model. My brain keeps saying "Don't believe what the text on that Web site says, it's a model car!". Amazing stuff - have a great weekend everyone!</p>
