The first time I sat with this clip I genuinely thought the mill was a model on a pole that the camera was passing — took three watches to accept the geometry.
If this is the W-axis blind spot in everyday form, can you point to a still image where the same mechanism happens without camera motion? I'm trying to figure out whether the motion is essential or just makes the inference re-run.

Filed under "things I will not stop seeing now." Saw a downtown skyline do this on a slow approach this morning.
