"A lot of people aren't really in the habit of making their beds every day, and I can't be the only person who didn't want to show a messy bedroom this week. I thought the prank would appeal to a lot of people, but I've thought that about many projects in the past that never got much attention, like my music videos and a video effect I made that delays darker parts of the image,"
"Within 10 minutes of making my Imgur post, it had a comment under it from Sarah, the co-founder of Imgur. That's when I knew this one would be different. My favorite comment on Imgur was a suggestion that I make a new backdrop, of a room that looks totally normal but is upside-down. It wouldn't fool anyone; it would just look really funny. I think I'll do that,"
Andrew Eckel, a software engineer and musician in Cambridge, Massachusetts, created an expensive-looking virtual apartment backdrop to fool coworkers during remote work video calls. The backdrop concealed his actual surroundings and prompted colleagues to assume he lived in a luxury space. Andrew posted the prank on Imgur, where it quickly received wide attention and even a comment from Imgur's co-founder. Andrew works in cancer research and performs music, and he plans to build additional humorous backdrops, including an upside-down room design intended purely for visual comedy.
