Totally scripted.

Down to the girl being the producer of the film.

"Let's not chase it, roll it back"

who the hell talks like that?

If it was me it would have gone down like this.

"F the camera, grab the gun, there be some good eating tonight!"






Roll it back...sheesh!

Uh, I think there is some possibility of this being fake.
And ridiculously so.

I didn't even have the sound up (at work) and I knew it was scripted. I don't know how to explain it except they have that "it's scripted but try to make it look like genuine actions" demeanor. Kind of like the ones you find in Blair Witch and Cloverfield.

Most of you aren't old enough to remember the dreaded long-tailed snipe. Oh yeah. Many late-night excursion were attended in college seeking this elusive creature.

Snarkiness aside, my BS filter got a tad oversaturated watching this production. There is far too much set-up initially without giving a reason for the filming. The dialogue seems a hair contrived as well. It doesn't feel real to me, unless of course, this is the first film documentation of the dreaded long-tailed snipe.

The foregoing was merely my opinion, and does not reflect the stance of management, other members, mods, or my two cats.

The cats have never seen a snipe.

It's a viral advertisement for a kids movie.




Meanwhile,
Back at the ranch......................

Ok Jimmy, here's the deal. We're going to go down the river here and herd the snipe in your direction. You stay here with this burlap bag and when it comes running in your direction, catch it in the bag.

Don't worry.

We'll be right back.

I agree, it really seems like they're bad actors. Also, the critter does seem to resemble a frilled neck lizard.

Ironically, it's the creature which comes across as the most realistic thing in this video. At least to me.

LOL

That was awesome

That chick wasnt to bad looking, pity it was really fake though

btw, that looked nothing like a frill necked lizard. I use to have one living at my work in Darwin, they simply dont look even close to that thing

I was wondering if it was actually the fabled boogerben, which haunts the wild, drunken imaginations of southern youth while camping.

And just for the record, to make sure that the long tailed snipes actually come your way, the "bagger" needs to make the long tailed snipe's mating call. (insert halarious and embarassing noise here).

This is to cover the distant echos of laughter from the guys drinking all the beer just down the road.
