This video is more real than it looks

No, you're not dreaming, though this short film may make it seem that way.

At first glace, this video looks like someone with mad computer skills animated what it would look like for various objects to be slowly eroded so you could see their insides. That in and of itself is pretty amazing to watch.

The thing is, though, the video is real, and it's exactly what it looks like.

Austrian photographer Laurin Dopfner created it by shaving off half a millimeter at a time from these objects, taking 650 pictures along the way. He then edited them together to get this mesmerizing result.
