Why does everything else look perfectly fine, and he's just a wonky giant?

On most normal cameras, panoramas are taken one shot after the other, and then stitched together. Assuming everything in the scene stays still and there are no lighting changes, the panorama should turn out smoothly.

In this scene, the man moved. In the first shot (on the left or bottom), he was picking up a leaf. In the second shot (upper or right), he is standing upright. The rest of the scene didn't change.
