ALLEN: A filmmaker in Amsterdam is wowing Instagram viewers with his mind-bending videos. Watch how he creates this optical illusions.</s>ROGIER VAN DER ZWAAG, FILMMAKER: I definitely do like to disorientate the viewer yes. I like to kind of create my own little universes when I make a film, where the laws of nature are -- seem to be a bit different. I'm Rogier Van Der Zwaag. I'm a filmmaker, and I'm working from a -- my studio here in Amsterdam. I was not into magic as a kid, but I always have been drawn to -- to perspective. In this clip there is no computer animation. This is what they call forced perspective. Perspective can be so distortive to our brains in a way. This video is one of my favorites. The hands come in and reshape the whole composition as you thought it was. The whole thing that sets you off in this video is the fact that you're thinking you're seeing a left and a right hand, but it's only a left hand. I'm making a lot of experiments, and they just end up on a hard drive. At a certain point, I thought, "Let's just throw them on social media immediately." Sometimes people do see it, really, as magic tricks that need to be solved. They give their ideas of how it's made in the comments, which I think is really cool. I love to see how things are interpreted. So yes, it's awesome.</s>ALLENA: Very cool indeed. Thank you for watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Natalie Allen. We'll be back in 15 minutes with another hour of NEWSROOM. Next here, CNN sports.
