Go figure .... as they say ...

Have fun for a couple of minutes and try to fathom how it's done.

It's just trick photography and image manipulation.

Very clever indeed!

Yes it is clever but the explanation was way over the top. all they needed to say was it was trick photography.

When my father was at school they used to have the annual school photograph. Remember the really long ones with everybody on?
They were actually taken by taking a series of shots and panning the camera. A popular "jape" was to appear on both ends of the line of students by running round in between shots.

Very similar idea.
