Matt s church has more than 7,000 members, including nfl quarterback colt mccoy. he started coming to my church here in austin. we just developed a friendship. in may, 2013, colt and matt published a book called the real win. we talk a lot about what it s like to be good husband and a good father. the co-authors head to the great outdoors to film a hunting and fishing companion video series for the book. matt s 12-year-old son, j.d., tags along for the adventure. it was really great bonding time with me and my dad. we had been quail hunting the whole day, and we were pretty much done. they were trying to get some reflective b roll of matte walking through the field at the end of the hunt. suddenly an unexpected guest star makes an appearance. i just looked up, and i saw this quail flying right at me. coming at you. coming at you. my dad shifts the gun to his left hand. and i instinctively threw my
Once they ve all settled and we have basically a ten, 20-foot screen that we re now able to display whatever content we wanted to. the 80-second video takes more than 1,300 hours to produce. all of that hard work pays off. on april 17th, 2013, they release the video online, and it soon reaches more than 7.5 million views. hopes topple when people who believe the video is real find out the truth. the most common comment or emails that we get is can i have one iphone out of the 10,000. there s others where people are bashing us because we they think we spent a lot of money in trashing these iphones. we send an e-mail saying this is not real. no iphones were harmed, again, in the making of this video. i think it s a win/win for this company. if they had managed to make it real iphones falling, that would
Then the car was crashed. i said, norman, you have to drive much faster than you think you should because we have only this one shot. and so i crashed with 20 kilometers per hour into the car. it was everything i wanted. with filming complete, norman and dominic start editing. they layer the three shots on top of each other. isolating michel and removing the garbage cans use a complex process called compositing. it took a lot of time. viewer jump at the chance to watch the latest exploit. people just want to share the mess unfolding. you know good can t come from jumping on a trampoline onto a car, and then of course it accident. internet detectives scour the video for clues to fakery, and then catch a mistake. can you spot it?
For the person to touch. the other 9,999 iphones are made using computer-generated animation. we usually start with a clean plate. we shoot the actors on the set, and then we go through and add in our c.g. elements. these markers were intentional. we can create a path of where we want the dominoes to travel. we ve populated the entire shot with proxy geometry representations of what an iphone would look like, and at a later stage, we can take those cubes and replace them with higher resolution iphone geometries. the elevator scene started much like the other nights. we start with a nice clean plate so we get the elevator and actor in context. we blur the background a little bit to really sell the fact that the iphones are here and de-emphasizing the background. for the big finale of the video, we set a camera up high and wide. and we see the wave of crashing iphones.
incredibly, no bait is used. the video simply captures a bear who s ready for his closeup. we know what grizzly bears favorite food is now expensive electronics. the grizzly man who scores the once-in-a-lifetime shot is naturalist guide brad josephs. i guide photographers and film crews to see, view, photograph, and film bears. for more than a decade, brad has conducted those tours on the alaskan peninsula. they come together in great numbers because of the food source. it s definitely the best place that you can go to see bears up close. and that s a rare sight these days. poaching and habitat laws among other issues have put the majestic grizzly bear on the endangered species list. on the alaska peninsula, they haven t been hunted. it s remote, so the general public doesn t go there. we can get in to areas and see bears up close. you just can t do that anywhere else. in the spring of 2013, brad is leading a tour of photographers when he decides to
did i get you that ring? uh-huh. man, i must have been really liking you. the hazy husband goes viral and make wives swoon around the world. i think this probably went viral because it s the opposite of most things you see online, which are cynical and awful and being mean. man, have we kissed yet? it was just an adorable video that people wanted to share because it made them feel good. but is it too good to be true? a lot of people were debating is this real, is this fake. and trying to gauge whether this could actually happen. how could he not remember who his wife is? you know, he didn t like fall off a horse and all of a sudden forget who everyone was. do we call each other baby? my first impression was that this was real. he really does look like a guy coming out of anesthesia. it seems like a very genuine moment. well, it seems genuine because it is. you just can t fake being that high. the best actor in the world
Nato says a suicide car bombing targeting a come voy in afghanistan has killed three american contractors. today s blast in kabul killed at least 12 people. total with 66 more wounded. the taliban has denied carrying out the attack. at least seven people are dead after an air jet taking part in an air show crashed in a busy town in england. it hit several vehicles on the road when it went down. now back to caught on camera. on the new york city subway, you never know what s going to happen next. it s a nice tube where crazy people can get from one place to another. but is this video too crazy even for the big apple? thanks, everybody, for coming out to the no underwear subway rid ride. it begins with a man telling everyone we re about to do our
The tablecloth trick gone wrong is a viral ad created for the gop vaudeville theater in germany. you could compare to cirque de soleil in america. it s an internet juggernaut gaining more than 31 million hits. the video s directors, norman krueger and dominic yunker, brainstorm another misadventure for the daring duo. had to be more extreme. had to be bigger. and so i thought about this this car crash. before they create the big smash, the guys add legitimacy by filming a series of other trampoline stunts. jumping over a dog. jumping into a swimming pool. jumping over a cow. everything up to the car is real. like the long con. if the first three or four videos seem very real and are real, you have to believe that the last one is real, too. for the grand finale, the directors lock down the camera
Hand up and caught it. oh, my god! i just got that on camera. sweet catch. believe it or not, what went through my head was i just did something that my grandkids are going to talk about. if i hadn t just seen it with my own eyes, i would have never believed it. that was cool. no one is going to believe this. no one i don t believe it, and i m watching it right now. kind of my first reaction was when we realized one of the camera guys caught it on film, man, we ve got to get this on youtube. after a quick photo shoot, matt frees the bird. days later he uploads the video with an ad for the real win at the end. soon he finds out that a bird in the hand is worth millions of hits. it s not every day you reach out and catch a bird. of course it s going to go viral. oh! oh, my god! you will never see someone catch a bird with their hand like that. and a reaction so understated and bad ass. this is like a once in a not
Is leaning over a subway map. her reaction is so hilarious. she s just laughing. i love it. on april fools day, with all of the blurs in place, the video goes live. the train riders in the raw collects more than six million views. how could this not go viral? there s a little fascination with the stuff down there, and people want to see it. not mine specifically. but other people s. there was a big debate over whether it was real or not. a lot of people were fooled and thought this was crossing the line even for us. i had a couple of relatives who were upset, who believed it, thought, you know, i like charlie s videos but i think he s gone too far. 24 hours after watching the clip, members fess up. we released the uncensored no underwear subway ride. which was an even more provocative title than the first one. of course, the uncensored no underwear subway ride is just people wearing skin-colored boxers. everyone who believed that
