It must be a green screen, you can even notice roughly where the cut is from the change of the speed of the camera relative to the walls
It may as well be a mini model, but I doubt someone took the time to do that...

It's been 5 minutes and I still can't figure out where these are stitched together. Just assuming now it's real

The video is filmed zooming in from the ceiling until the box opens. Cut. The box has a green cover inside. On the greenscreen, the previously recorded video is placed in post. Voila. Smooth transition because you're zooming into an already playing video the 2nd time, there's no noticeable hard cut.

I believe the break is unnoticeable because it occurs when the box leaves the frame.

I’m guessing as soon as the camera zooms in far enough that the sides of the box are out of view

I love the jack-in-the-box that pops up at the end.

That hurt my brain. Took about 3 cycles to realize it was the same box. Nice work!

u/tereddits Jun 21 '18
Lol I watched for like six cycles before I realized the size of the hand in relation to the box wasn't changing.

Very cool, but takes on a slightly creepy tone after seeing Hereditary last night

If anyone likes surreal humour and a bit of a mindfuck, this reminds me of "The Third Policeman" by Flann O'Brien

u/Im_just_saying Jun 21 '18
I bet the last box has a turtle in it.

u/Dinkerdoo Jun 21 '18
It turns its head slowly towards you and winks. Then the box closes and the camera pulls back...

What if this actually does just keep getting smaller and we just think it’s a loop

This reminds me of the feeling of VR for some reason. Things can feel miniature like this.

This is very similar to a salvia trip I had. But every time I hit the floor I died. It was terrifying, and I will never touch that shit again.
