/* I found James Bosworth's codepen the other day (https://codepen.io/bosworthco/) and saw his work on shifted perspective and wanted to learn how to make it.
I also found this Youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgiadQQM6mo&list=PLbu98QxRH81KxxMclY_ZRmm4Dac-n7cSA) which is a great tutorial of the project. Enjoy!
