To do this, Parry makes use of modifying and trick digicam work as a part of his illusions.
The work is meticulous and generally extraordinarily tedious, he says. For instance, Parry as soon as created
a stop-motion animation of him riding a skateboard along a track. Behind the scenes, he took 360 images of himself mendacity down on the bottom in numerous positions, utilizing a digicam connected to the ceiling. In one other cease movement video,

turning himself into random objects, are additionally difficult to create.

The five-second clip took every week to place collectively.
