Re: Russian Talent Show Goes Wrong: Arrow To The Head
I think the biggest tell-tale sign that this video is faked would have to be the sound guy with the boom microphone. When the performer goes to grab the can, the boom operator is standing to the right side of the judges panel. The performer takes the can and walks back over to the stage and sets up the arrow shot. During this whole time, the sound guy does not appear in shot or run across the stage. Once the arrow is fired and the guy falls down injured, the camera pulls away and the boom operator is now standing on the left, behind the guy shooting the arrows. Freeze the frame at both sections of the video and you will see it's the same guy with the exact same clothes on. Now... if this is supposed to be one long, continuous segment, then how the hell did he get from one side of the room to the other without even appearing in shot? Did he run across and set himself up while the camera was focused on the shooter and the judges? I believe this strongly suggests editing has been performed and during the break the sound guy ended up standing in the wrong spot. Or, perhaps the crew failed to notice the continuity problem and placed him in the shot, thinking it would add that extra sense of realism. What do you think? |
