I think this qualifies as late night TV level language in this video.
certainly a testable concept.

I laughed at that one too  But I really like the German word "pinkel". It sounds a lot like "tinkle", which is something little girls do, but also a little like "p*ss" which is what grown men do, so it's a more grown up word than "tinkle" and a cleaner word than "p*ss", all rolled into one |

I would guess it is as friendly as other kinds of paint. |

From Fifth Gear, what happens when a Ford Focus hits a cement wall at 120 mph.
No myth here, but an impressive sight.

I think it was just very clever cutting and splicing. first, this is an infrared video, which explains the "glowing hands" phenomenon. it also shows that the truck was hard on the brakes approaching the bike, and then the brake flare disappears at the same moment the "time traveler" appears in frame. I think what actually happened is that the truck tapped the bike, but the impact was edited out, so it appeared the bystander who stopped to help just appeared in time and disappeared once the bike was moved to the shoulder, the video resumed to show the truck crossing the intersection, and was time manipulated to make it appear to be one motion. |

My opinion is that was creative editing. The most telling moment happens at the 4:16/4:17 point in the video. This is when the bike "teleports". If you pause at the right moment, it appears that the bike is out of proportion to the truck.
Observations:
1) The seat of the bike is above the grill of the truck, which seems to be too high.
2) The length of the bike appears to be twice the width of the truck, which would make the bike close to 12' long.
3) The bike "teleports" when the truck is about 3' away from it.
4) The pedestrain never actually touches the bike before they both disappear.
So, I am going to assert that the bike/pedestrian were overlayed on top of the traffic cam video to create the effect with the center movements being spliced out to create the 'teleportation' effect.
These are just my observations and ponderings, so I may be right or I may be a skeptic.

Have you priced Adobe Premier? At least when you could actually buy it. I think now it's strictly subscription based. |
