How Amsterdam's Famous Illusion Clock Was Made

Original video credit: (ig) @deherdtgardens Located in Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, the "Real Time" clock was created by Dutch designer Maarten Baas. Rather than using CGI, Baas filmed an actor across 12 continuous hours, manually wiping away and repainting the hands minute by minute. An ultra-thin screen syncs playback with actual time, producing the convincing illusion of a worker trapped inside.
