Tilted camera FTW

Great idea...not much of a payoff though

Fuckin vertical video...

*dead again

I can't argue with that

The tags have a typo, her last name is spelled Olhovskaya. Also, she's not anywhere close to 55...have you seen a women before? Playboy's 55th anniversary was in 2008, that's what she is referring to.

The one I posted was the original (with M83 soundtrack) from Vimeo, which was taken off Vimeo within a couple hours (killing my submission). I've been traveling with limited wifi access, and while I've been offline, someone else posted the above embed as a backup. For the record, this music track is bullshit, it's NOT a backup of the video I originally posted.

Meanwhile, someone else found a copy of the original on another host, and posted that as an original submission. And then mine was quickly flagged as the dupe (Heysu Christo, this is convoluted). Anyway, it's irrelevant now. I'd delete this one, but I don't know how... Can someone that has the appropriate permissions kill it, or flag it as dead? kthxbai

Sorry @dvst8download, it's a great find.

Honest question about channel assignments; I suppose you can make an argument why this video isn't squarely intended for the "Sexuality" channel, but why would this have been removed from the "Viral" channel? This video is the definition of viral...in two days it's had over 1.4 million views! What am I missing, so I don't improperly assign channels in the future? The FAQ offers no channel definitions or clarification. Thanks.


>>This video has been removed from all channels (Parody, Femme, Sexuality, Comedy, Viral) due to invalid channel assignment - nochannel invoked by xxovercastxx. Please review the FAQ to learn about appropriate channel assignments.

Rosten is at it again: http://videosift.com/video/Fotoshop-by-Adobe

He did part of this bit on a Leno appearance, but this is longer length and improved (IMHO). Certainly not a dupe.

Pretty sure this bit is here somewhere. Might be from a different show, though.

Thanks @Zonbie

As a commentary, it lacks two things to make it really work:
1. An actual story or gag.
and/or
2. Better performance to make it actually funny/interesting.

To me it just looks like going through the motions. The Sift can do better than this...

Uhh... I don't get it. Pointless.

It's commentary on the true practicality of the novel idea of crawling around in air ducts to attack baddies. It might seem like a good idea, but it's really hard to move around and keep track of where you are. Worst of all, if someone attacks you, particularly with a grenade, you'll be really disappointed when you're unable to escape.

Thank you for your intelligent, reasoned, measured response. You truly are an asset to the Sift community.

Not to belabor the point, but it was a legitimate question. I simply don't understand what people are responding to in this clip. There's not a compelling story. It's not particularly well-shot. Sure, there are some simply After Effects VFX squibs and such, but nothing that your average indie filmmaker can't do in a few hours.

I ask again, what are people responding to in this clip? Did I simply miss something, a meme or whatever? Genuinely befuddled.

This is excellent. *Dark and delicious.
