This optical illusion was created at 6am in the great outdoors, meaning Parry was up and at 'em, creating beautiful art while most of us were sleeping.

Parry, an animator who worked on films like The Boxtrolls and Kubo and the Two Strings, uploaded the clip to his personal Instagram account a week ago, and it has since gone viral.

The video, captioned with "Walk in the Woods" is just shy of cracking 100,000 views after just a week, enthralling Instagrammers.
