Neat stuff. I've put an HD version of this as a resubmit.

Had to watch this a few times to convince myself he didn't kill a whole bunch of goldfish to make these.

AWESOME!

When I was a kid, one of my aunts bought me an art kit built around a similar principle. It came with several small sheets of glass that you would lay on top of little paint-by-numbers sheets. Then, you would paint the glass using the sheet under it as a guide.

When all the glass was painted, you would stack them in a special frame in order. The end product looked like a 3D object inside a block of glass.

Of course, since that side of my family is Catholic, the end product was a Virgin Mary in a block of glass. I ended up giving it back to her as a Christmas present. She was delighted. It was probably her master plan all along.

Oh. I was hoping at the end he was hinting at making a great dane sized koi illusion!
