I hate to be that guy who goes

      FAAAKE
          /
:lord:

but there it is.  :p

The bus-tipping-over video was skillful, but (1) the description reads like a fake video

(
QuoteWhy you shouldn't dance in front of a speeding bus...What an idiot!
This video is NOT FAKE. This bus did really crash
)

(2) the impact looked too clean. The bus was clearly CG, the shadow was a bit off, the sound was all wrong, and the shockwave coming out of the bus immediately struck me as one of those things CG artists add to every explosion.


the UFO video lost me at the moment they added a soundtrack. And the explosion looked more like a cartoon than a real event.


Dude has skills! It's not easy to interweave shaky cam and CG. But he's still got a while to go before it can pass for real.

Amazing.

Why'd you think it's one of us, though? None of us live in Lyon??

Not hard to get footage from Lyons, Trip. Just a shot in the dark.  :lulz:

Multiple takes of a group of people running away from an imaginary bus in addition to 360 degrees panorama shots from the same street in Lyons, and hi-res photos of a French bus from all sides (including the top). And then do the making-of video in french, have it mentioned on french news TV and media? Quite le shot dans la darque, indeed :)

Or just grab the footage off the interbutts, trim everything but the final product, and stick it on u2b.  :p
