Diorama-rama

[veile.livejournal.com]

I went to a Diorama-rama last night and I saw something awesome that I want to try out, but I don't know how it was done.  The box was fairly small and it was covered so I couldn't see what was going on inside, but basically you look into a little tube that was sticking out of the box (about the size of a pencil) and look in.  When you look in there was a scene and in back there was video of a squid playing.  It was really cool and I really want to make something like that.  Any idea how that was done???
