It grieves me that people will only accept the truth if certain people post it, that makes a mockery of the forum.
The whole point is that if someone shows you without any doubt that something is wrong then use your bloody common sense to see it,
if you need hand fed by 'known' over something so obvious then it really says something about the readership of the forum.
As you can see I'm no fan of 'cliques' or blind followers.
Use you brain, its not there just to keep your ears apart!

Yes sir, checking your history in this thread you also are to be applauded for pointing out the problems with the added man jumping around.
But in defense of everyone who did work towards proving this, your post didn't have all the nifty videos showing this with red lines and stuff...lol.
Its not "who" presents the info by the way...its how it is presented.
You were right in calling this a hoax, like many others, and you even went so far as to be absolutely correct in pointing out where the flaws in the vid were. So- GOOD EYE AND GOOD JOB!
But really...no reason to blame anyone for missing your post. After all, is over 30 pages of most people blindly accepting this or screaming "best footage ever!".
I didn't see your post myself, and if I did I would have agreed with your analysis...cus as a few have already said- once you "see" it, you can't ignore it.
Thank you sir. I tip my Mask to you and declare you a Hero as well.
Sorry I didn't read your post earlier. Would have saved me a lot of waiting. But truth be told, the wait was worth the watch.

Yes I accept presentation is everything in today's rather overly eye candied world (reading a book via a mini PC, jesus just read a bloody book) and I was not seeking any acclaim, it simply irked me that people had bothered to post a credible comment that stood up there and then yet people skip from the start of the thread to the back so quickly, failing to read the bits in between.
And then you have the core that refuse to believe a word unless a 'known' blurts it out.
I just wish people would read, digest, have a view of their own based upon what they have read and use some logic.
No red lines needed for that

I think we should all comment on the videos ....so that people stop believing it is real..its clearly a hoax and they should not be allowed to make it viral. Its not helping.

Im not so sure about that, the odds are that it is a hoax however that has yet to be proven. So please don't bother calling it a hoax because it does not meet the criteria of what you would expect. That is yet to be proven.

Nobody proved anything at that time. You pointed something out but didn't elaborate or prove with evidence anything. Don't get me wrong, you said enough and said the truth...but you didn't make a case of it, nor did you back it up with evidence other than saying "its wobbly".
It grieves me that people will only accept the truth if certain people post it, that makes a mockery of the forum.
Certain people? Like who?
The whole point is that if someone shows you without any doubt that something is wrong then use your bloody common sense to see it,
Did your bloody common sense tell you that you failed to make a solid case with supporting evidence? Did your bloody common sense remind you that what "you" personally find to be "a no-duh thing" may actually not "easily ring true for others"?
I know for a fact that many folks here will still not believe the evidence shown due to not knowing the basics of the laws of perspective. Thats why it is very valuable and applaud worthy to present the facts in an intelligent and complete way.
if you need hand fed by 'known' over something so obvious then it really says something about the readership of the forum.
Yknow...I've worked with video personally for about 25 years. Have personally studied perspective since I was in highschool...hell, I'd say I have more than a basic understanding of both subjects, and yet I failed to see the flaws in the video.
So...maybe I'm fricken dumb eh? Maybe I NEED someone to HAND FEED ME GOOD INFO so my stupid butt can grasp the facts before I choke on my own drool.
Too bad you made a hit-and-run attempt at teaching an idiot like me something, while other posters did a GREAT job at laying down the evidence and facts.
Heck...thank god we have hand-feeders here for big dumb dumbs like me.
As you can see I'm no fan of 'cliques' or blind followers.
Are you aware that a new member proved all this? That he has only been here since 22-9-2010?
You been here since 2008...how the hell you gunna blame a guy for doing a better job then you at showing the evidence? Hell, WHY DIDN'T YOU prove it beyond reasonable doubt so this could have been put in the hoax bin waaaaaay back on page 6, instead of failing to explain clearly what was wrong with the video?
You would think a guy so smart and easily able to see "easy stuff that confuses us dummies" would by now have some following of zealots? No?
Maybe Mr Gif just did MORE WORK and cared more about PROVING IT than you did?
Yeah...that surly is the case. Cus it ain't because he has won some popularity contest.
So relax and thank the guy. Maybe next time when you see the ball, you will follow through with the swing instead of moaning when a new player hits it outta the park. Eh?
Use you brain, its not there just to keep your ears apart!
Use civil interactions...you are not here to whine when you failed to do what others did.
Man, I hate seeing when people can't just admit when they failed, and rather just poop n those who didn't.
