This is the dead giveaway, no pun intended, but when I worked a graveyard shift for kinkos, years ago, we used to place our face on the black and
white copier to see what it looked like and this is almost an exact match of the copy that comes out. The light that flashes only captures the parts
of the face that is actually touching the glass (ie the nose, chin, forehead and lips usually) while the entire area around your face thats not
touching the glass, or close enough, will copy out full black because the lid is open. You can tell in the .gif file, that TheoOne made, that the film
maker avoids placing his real eyes on the glass (that just makes you see spots
). If you set the copier to make several copys then pull your
face back and forth while its "flashing" you'll get different shots of your face with the black background or place your face on its side then as
the copier is running roll your face from cheek to cheek then back again. Then with the stack of copys you can 'flip' through them to see a quick
cheesey movie of your face.
I suspect this video was made using copys of his face with a mixture of pencil drawings and or just computer tweaks of face images he scanned in to
his computer to get the same 'copied face' effect. It looks cool tho, espec being Holloween time.
If anyone has access to a black and white copier give it a try, you'll see. You get the same effect if trying to copy the side of your face too.
Beware it uses a lot of toner and solid toner on a piece of paper meeting a hot roller inside a copier can cause it to jam!
You can also place your face in and out of water while you have a camera filming up towards your face from the bottom, like a cut in half 5 gal clear
water jug, then take the video and edit the video to be in a black and white mode and with a few filter adjustments, contrast mixes and turning the
background black, you can make this type of video. This method allows you to open your mouth and eyes while the films running to get a creepy effect
later.
IMO,
Bzzzzzzz
