As the British would say, "Brilliant!". Conspiracy theories are usually pretty amusing, some people need to believe that the world works like an "Oceans 11" or "Mission: Impossible" movie, with all these elements working in perfect synchronization to pull off the perfect crime.

Alright, I read up on it a bit. Filipino divers with little training in this type of dive I guess? They actually looked pretty good until they hit the water, which made for some golden comedy. I was crying on my first viewing. I did look a little bit like they slipped or something when launching.

They are used to various types of synchronous diving.

Hopefully they can keep their spirits up through the sea of hate out there. This crap will make them rockstars over night if they play it right.

A) The synchronized videos is a new one on me and I love it

B) They REALLY bitch slapped Hank Green.

For easy synchronization. Both videos on the same page.

I'm inclined to believe most of the audio is not of them actually playing, which is unfortunate. I'd have liked to hear their actual performance.

I was initially just surprised at the sound quality for that kind of outdoor setting with very little ambient and crowd noise. When the synchronized singing (from the crowd or "plants" in the crowd with their lip movement not matching up? um) became clearer, that's what really made me suspicious.
The acoustic quality sounds much more to me like a music hall than outdoors, as well.

Very clever! Next level is to synchronize with the day so his first video starts at sunrise and his last video ends at sunset/evening.

people were whining the same song with guardians of the galaxy.
it's too obscure they cried.
nobody knows the characters they bemoaned.
why can't they make a movie i want to see?
why is marvel doing this to me?????
this movie is going to suck balls!!

holy crap! this movie is awesome!

and then the earth lost a bit in its rotation as the nerd horde back-pedaled in synchronicity.

seems a large chunk of the problem is that most of the nay-sayers had never read the book.
imagine that...
formulating an opinion based on never having read the source material.

out of all the avengers,ant-man has the most complex and nuanced...
and most human.i wish this movie was about hank pym but it appears they are using the timeline from "the irredeemable ant-man" graphic novel.which is cool...antman is kind of a dick in the beginning.

that being said,
where is my goddamn deadpool movie!!?

#1 Its not fake.
#2 this is probably one of the first couple of full runs, no one but the home owners even know about it.
#3 It is not actually that difficult. The kits to synchronize these lights have been out for a decade now. In a case like this I would;

a) Get permission to handle everyones lights for the year.
b) Using the same kit, I wouldn't get too fancy, gutter icicles, trees, garage outlines, not much more for each house.
c) only need to make one routine, this routine can then be loaded into all houses with only the need to tweak the strands of lights used in each group.
e) syncing would be no problem with an internet aware kit that synchs its internal clock online.

The place turns into kind of a strobe mess because there are not many types of light groups to alternate between, but that can wait for next year. Great effort.

No they wouldn't. They just have to be synchronized properly with controllers/switches. Completely separate from the electricity. Maybe timers or some kind of wi fi control programmed switches(not at all my field of expertise) , Not really sure but ill bet my lunch money each house was electrically wired up to there own power. Can you imagine the load that would put on one house. Would i think have to rewire the electrical to accommodate the amperage of the total of all that (the amperage from the audio alone would be insane). I however leave open the possibility i am wrong about much of this

Come on guys, this thing has CG all over it! Look at the compositing at 0:50 when they are coming out of the building - they are floating all over the place in movements that don't match the camera. The dancers are obviously sped up many times while the band members are not. The clouds at the end come in awfully conveniently when the camera pans upward. Etc.

According to Rolling Stone, it was stitched together from 44 takes, so that might account for all of that. I'm a bit skeptical that the umbrella animations at the end weren't completely CG, but we'll see for sure if they release a behind-the-scenes.

Well, looks like compositing. Leto's actions don't synchronize perfectly as they would in a real mirror. From my experience working in film:

Looks to me like the shot the beginning part as a composite shot, basically on green screen, or even on the real set and rotoscoped. The shot through the mirror was the actual long take. There was no mirror, of course, and after the camera approached the wall, either the matte or set was pulled away from camera to allow the camera to go through. Possible reason for the camera pause being technical rather than story driven.

If you look at his arm, the foreground Leto reaches out before the mirror Leto does. Also, given the style of lighting on foreground Leto, which doesn't match mirror Leto, to me suggest they were lighting for a green screen. That's a typical light setup for ideal keying.

The green screen idea is the easiest way in this situation; if you notice, the mirrored Jared doesn't completely synchronize with the actions of the first Jared. The mirrored Jared did that shot facing a camera instead of a mirror, and then the mirror was replaced with a greenscreen for the beginning of the shot. Once the camera zooms in past the mirror frame, the greenscreening effects are no longer needed.

That's not irony. Synchronicity.
