Wow, that was insane!

and here is how it was done

Holy Crap!

OK so other sites are calling this fake.
I don't know if it is or not but look at the shadows on the window as the gun goes off, there is definitely a shift in the lighting at that split second.

Any thoughts?

of course it's fake

I would imagine the forced needed to throw you 10 feet across the room and smash lockers is the same force needed for you to be largely hurt after words. There is another less extreme prank on the profile. Something tells me this is going to be a profile of pranks, and this was the high budget one to get you to subscribe.

Seriously? Have we really reached the point where something this obviously fake is considered remotely plausible by some people? It's FAKE. I am 100% sure of it. Not only is there a terrible job done in the window reflection when he gets knocked back, but you need just look at it, and see that no normal person would not only not be seriously injured, if not dead.

Maybe I just belong in the group of people with a keen eye for fake video.

it's either fake, or they severely underestimated the potency of the cannon (and are subsequently facing criminal charges for this "prank").

Fakedy fake fake fake.

On the slow-mo his lab-coat doesn't fly backwards when the air hits him. The loose bottom end should be flapping backwards FASTER than he is moving.

Got science?

I just wanted to be the first to come her and say fa.. oh.

At least he was wearing goggles.

@Sagemind I'm not sure I see the problem with the window. The lighting change appears to be the illumination from the room coming through after the door is blown wider open by the cannon. In fact, you can even see the silhouette of the cannon operator.

The only evidence of fake to me is my prior that this would hurt more than your typical prank.

[EDIT] Actually the bigger tell is the way the scientists moves at the moment the cannon is fired. He sort of rotates in a pretty unnatural way.

APPLY COMMON SENSE=FAKE

>_>

LOOK AT WINDOW=FAKE

LOOK AT FREEZE FRAME OF LAB WITH POOR DIRECTIONAL BLUR AND SCALING=FAKE

this is TOTALLY CAKE!

I shouldn't be laughing...

Also, the white lab door swings open when the cannon is fired and stays perfectly still.

OK. I have some good pranks I pulled on my lab mates... One time I convinced everyone that my presentation was in 3D, got them all to put on 3D glasses, and then took a picture... That was funny.

This is definitely fake, I work in VFX and I could tell instantly, good work though!
