    Okay there is no way in hell this guy did this all is there?? Jumping off this cliff with camera???

    I'm kind of speechless here. I was surfing youtube and reading Huffingtonpost and this video caught my eye.

    At first I was LMAO because it was just very entertaining and then at the end it just got so serious so quick

    and I kinda teared up a bit. Here's the link:

    Here's my question. The guy goes to great length to point out that he filmed this completely all alone. How is this possible?

    I wanna believe it but I'm wondering if it's even possible.

    Thoughts?

    The camera is panning, so who's doing that? 

    And that guy is creepy as hell.

    Just a matter of having a camera with remote control for those things (making sure you aren't actually seen using the remote, as that would ruin the effect). If you're not going to pan/zoom very much, you could make sure you film the entire area you're interested in and then fake the panning and zooming in post-production (this works better for YouTube, due to the small resolution).

     I'd say it's possible, but *bloody hard* and time-consuming. The part that makes me doubt him the most are the air shots, but it *could* be done, if the remote has enough range (which it might if it's custom-built).

    probably done digitally, the same way you can have a still image and pan or zoom on it.  At youtube's resolution, you wouldn't notice.

    That's what I came here to say.  If you make a movie "for the girl you love" and more than 90% of that movie features shots of your own ass, you have some kind of personality disorder, or you're gay.  A *normal* person would have had 50% still shots of the girl and 50% of the guy moving tires and shit, then switch to still shots of the two of them together and pan back on the I love you message.  Total running time, about 2 mintes, but it would have been a nice video. 

     

    This retard filmed shots of himself apparantly humping an ATV. Honestly, what could he possibly have been thinking? "for this part of the film, my ATV has stalled and I'm trying to restart it."  Yeah, maybe you can just sort of edit that out dude.

     Evidently he learned video editing from the Spectate Swamp School of Editing.
