- The little engine that shimmied.
But why?
In this clip www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGtUGuAY63E&t=25s starting from 00:25, the engine comes to a stop and reverses. If you watch the boiler, you see that it appears to bend under its own inertia like the boiler on a cartoon engine might when reversing in a hurry.
If you play that again and watch carefully, you may notice that everything is affected, including trees and the people on board.
My question is, is this a subjective illusion in the viewer's brain, or is it an artefact of the digital photography / video compression / rendering process? If the latter, what is going on?
