No - you can clearly see that the plane of sharpness and the depth of field give the illusion away (and confirm that the video is not fake) - especially for the baseball at 0:50-1:00 - it is clear that this is an image and not a 3D object. Just like you clearly can see if the glasses are real or not in the final shot.
Quite obvious that the shots with the changing focus aren't faked, especially if you're used to low DoF photography with fast lenses. The plane of sharpness do not follow the 3D shapes when focusing back and forth - the plane follows the still image on the table.

And of course they adjusted the exposure during the shot! They go back and forth from large apertures to small apertures - they had to change the shutter time and/or ISO.

You can also tell that the deepest shadows on the images never get quite dark enough - look at the shadow underneath the globe in the opening shot, versus the deeper blacks on the typewriter and sunglasses. This is easily seen in all the shots, if you know what to look for.
And, stuff like the edges of the papers under the glasses in the final shot - real objects do not have chromatic aberration with a red tint towards the corner of the image and a blue tint towards the centre of the image.

Nope - real.
Of course it isn't one take, but they did not use editing trickery - they do not swap out 3D objects for 2D ones or vice versa.

Uhhh, this is completely bad-ass m'kay?

What's up with no votes for anyone who digs cars, documentaries, editing and photography, engineering...something for everyone here ya bozos!!

"Stellar filmography"

Actually, it's called photography, or cinematography. (Most films have a "director of photography" or "cinematographer")

A "filmography" is a list of films.

I am absolutely fascinated by very old photography and videography. I can't get enough of seeing what real people were like in "ancient" times (and contemplating my own mortality). I love sites like http://shorpy.com and http://oldphotosjapan.com

No. There are already plenty of other sites for showcasing photography. Also agree with @kulpims that it's too narrow (common problem with channels here)

Wonderful photography ... especially at the end. I need to equip my keyboard with an anti-drool device.

I liked this one, a photography project by Italian Photographer Gabriele Glimberti. He has traveled around the world photographing children with their favourite toys:

When I first got into photography, all of my images were created in the darkroom. Though I still enjoy shooting, digital prints have not been as magical for me as what I created with my hands with chemistry and light. These guys are producing some *quality images.

I know next to nothing about photography, but I guess this has something to do with the ratio of the size of the aperture to focal length? Anyone care to explain in more detail?

i have been contemplating pinhole photography for some time now after following this photographer for a few years.
