Haha - at first I was like "Holy shit, that guys an asshole for making the conductor think he's gonna crash!"

Damn, i didnt think of doing that!

Surprising payoff! Nice. But...My only critique is that he should have waited a little longer and let the train get closer.

I think what he was doing was dangerous enough. Letting the train get any closer would have just been foolish.

Brilliant!!!

Yeah, but now the train is lying in a heap on his neighbour's lawn...

If it had got any closer it would have been too heavy to lift out the way.

Huh? Hold on a sec, I have to try this.

We'll miss you...

That's not really as good of an effect as it could have been. The deception here is the shaky cam, which is entirely done in post, so the elements stay aligned nicely, and it's easy to fool the viewer into thinking this is some kind of huge technical feat. The camera is completely stationary. Rather amateur effects, tbh.

I will, however, give him props for the interesting idea. And using shaky cam filters to mask out the bad is actually a pretty good solution to making it look better than it is. Now all he needs is a designer for his shitty logo and animation. >_>

fake.

real.
