Let’s say there is a series of still images from different points in the video – maybe one every ten seconds or so. Would there be any visible differences between the images?

Is there anything unusual about the material the brick is made from?

Is the video part of a longer work, e.g., a short clip from a full-length film?

Are people tricked into watching the film? (Brickrolled?)

So, it’s completely brick-like in all of its features, but it’s made from a material which is unusual for bricks. Correct?

Is the material it’s made of not usually used for bricks because the properties of the material are poorly-suited for masonry?

Is the material it’s made of not usually used for bricks because it’s rare or expensive?
