Happy bday to the sift!
Long time since I popped in to say hi, many happy memories although I suspect all my vids have been swept up by the siftbot by now.

*promote cos I can!

*notdead

I like the way they ripped off that old Canon in D youtube video for the soundtrack......

mate it's not just this thread, it's in general. This community has been around for a while now, and it has it's own pace, people have a tendency to come and go, but generally the overall attitude is positive and honest.
I'm just telling you how I feel about this, he clearly explained himself in the original post, if you took the time to read it instead of skim it, it wouldn't have confused you.

*quality

do you really have to be so overpowering karaidl?
gorgons been around for ages, and came up with a damn good idea in my opinion.
I do realise you are young and you have a great enthusiasm for the site, but you don't have to go round acting like the Videosift police.

gorgs: i like the idea mate, surely this will be something Dag or lucky will claim is coming in v3.0

fuck you mpaa

You are all attacking this video from the wrong angle.
There is simply no way to recreate the effects of a bullet hitting someone in the earmuffs(whatever they are called) and duplicate this effect so well in 3d(cgi), it's just unpossible.
I don't care about the bullet physics, or what you think you can see in the distance.
It's not faked, end of story.

*undead

I am sorry swampy, I will not go out with you.

recently turned 28, am fast becoming one of the old cranks of the site.

Yeah my nuts it's fake, there is no way to accurately fake this video with the quality of tools available to these rednecks.

Put simply, I work in CGI, and the amount of effort it would take to make this movie properly (including the inner padding of the headphones that come flying out on impact) is prohibitive in the extreme.

JD, get over it mate, it happened, and was filmed.

P.S. nice one rembar

clearly there is spin when he throws it...

It's going to become more and more of a problem for the sift imo, as people keep joining, and are unlikely to even bother to search the sift for the dupes.

in essence rembar it would be like the video getting a front page promote.

And James, i've enjoyed a few of those neatorama pics and stuff over the past few months but, it never really seems to generate any conversation. Maybe it's because the images are so huge? Maybe it's because of solar flares..
