Where can you get these giant boot lids from?
I've no idea how this apparent optical illusion works.....I expect someone on here will come up with some photographic/scientific explanation soon.

It's basically just the focal length of the lens, so the nearer aspects appear much larger.
Good short video to explain how Peter Jackson used the concept to make Lord of the Rings with moving pictures...

Maybe it really

You used to be able to get a fiberglass boot lid that increased the size of the boot considerably.
