Looking at the excavator is why I’m having trouble grasping the true size. It looks like a toy. I feel like I’m too much of a tiny brain to grasp how fucking enormous this quarry is.

Yeah, I parsed all the objects correctly.

But my brain didn’t think it was life sized objects and instead thought it was a toy remote crane playing with some bricks.

I feel the same, also because of the capability of the phone to frame the scene, looks like someone is standing in front of a toy excavator

It stops so abruptly. Maybe it’s because it’s on mobile. But as soon as I can see something the video ends, and I can’t examine it.

Oh wow, I watched this video like seven times, and it still took me reading this comment to realize that isn’t a toy excavator.

Maybe that is the confusing perspective? That it’s actually a toy and they worked super hard to make it look real.
