[00:13] camera or a strobe light and appear to be a single moving thing. But watch this. I want you to call [music] it in the air, okay? Heads or tails. You ready? Go ahead. All right, what you say? Heads?
[00:26] All right, what you say? Heads? Ah. Sorry, it landed on tails. I win. Wait, what's that? Oh, you said tails. Oh, sorry. It landed on heads actually. I win. Unlike dinos [music] turning into Sonic, none of what just
