Kuronushi Shadow ArtI think this is someone whose mind can transition between two-dimensional and three-dimensional without effort. It is a talent that is beyond comprehension. Thanks for the link.

That was a great thing to see. Thanks for posting it so I could.
I am at a loss for words, so I will simply say..Bravo..!!
I think it's interesting, but possibly not that hard once you think of it. That is, how it's presented to the viewer isn't really how it's made.
One simply traces a line drawing against a white wall, and then assemble the cardboard pieces so that their shadows match the drawing. By placing the pieces in the foreground and background, to our perspective the pieces are all disordered and don't suggest anything. But then the set is turned to show the perspective that he was actually working from.
Amazing!! I would never have the patience to do that. It's one thing to draw that, another thing comprehend how to do it with shadow!!

Kuronushi Shadow ArtFascinating! Almost incomprehensible ability for visualization and perspective.
I have to wonder if there is somehow more to the process than is shown in the video . . .
Like directional light-sourcing WHILE making the projects, then a final reveal.
