It is a fake video. They did it for an art project. It's an illusion to look like the penrose staircase. Heres a link http://www.break.com/article/how-the-rit-stairwell-illusion-works-2440836/

I'd say this was pretty well done! :deadhorse1:

Reminds me of some of the illusions at the fun house in Steeplechase ,an amusement park area in Coney Island, built in the 1920's and 30's which my parents took my sisters and me to when I was a child.

Haha, I have heard a hand full of people talking about this today. I love how they ask people around campus where it is then show people and they act all surprised. It was a project w/ actors.

I think the best use of that would be to cover it with snow and you've have a never ending ski hill.
