That’s one of the most annoying videos I’ve ever watched. And yea, it’s fake; can’t believe anything coming out of England, much less London these days; they’re all bored out their skulls looking to pull pranks to stay awake long enough to collect this month’s dole. Besides that, you’ve got to know that info coming from a country where a “Yield” sign says “Give Way” is a bit “dodgy”, if you will.

So when a camera shakes then that means its fake? If it would have stayed firm (like a movie), then you would have believed it.

No.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but you have never taken a course in logic, have you...

Did not see the “purple trim” on the adjacent building. Tell me at how many seconds in the video can you see this purple trim. I don’t see it.

Well, if you read my post #10 carefully, you will see that I made no reference to "purple trim" on a building, or anywhere. I don't know who was talking about "purple trim," but it wasn't me.

What I did refer to was a "purple disk that gets between the decorative trim and soffit of the adjacent building and the camera."

You can find this for yourself, if you look at the video between 1:15 and 1:23. At 1:15, the video lingers on what at first appears to be a white disk, but soon is revealed to be a lens flare caused by the direct rays of the sun which are fairly close to the optical axis of the camera's lens. What reveals it to be a lens flare is the achromatic fringing on its opposite sides; a little more reddish on its left edge, and a little more bluish on its right edge.

Then, just for a moment, at 1:22, you can see a reddish-purple disk, so foreshortened that it appears to be a line, just under the letter "A" on the sign at the left side of the frame. That's the "purple disk" I referred to in my post #10.

Actually I have and it’s why I said what I said.

Sorry if I got your panties in a wad by pointing out the obvious flaw in your logic.

There is no flaw in Zeppo's logic whatsoever.

On the other hand, to call your reasoning "wrong" would be to give it more merit than it deserves.

Yes and sorry about the wording.

Okay I did see what you are talking about. Thanks for pointing that out. Hmmmm don’t know what to think, but you are probably correct. Thanks.

Okay let’s follow the logic

All “A” + “B” = “C”

If homemade video with camera(A) plus shaking video(B) means (=) fake (C).

Complete nonsense because the premiss is flawed. Zeppo is assuming all A plus all B equals C.

It's actually pretty straightforward.

You have made at least two errors of logic.

The first one was when you mistakenly concluded that my original statement was equivalent to asserting that, "So when a camera shakes then that means its fake?"

Not correct.

Then you compounded the problem by mistakenly concluding, "If it would have stayed firm (like a movie), then you would have believed it", which is a fallacy that roughly follows in the pattern of denying the antecedent

BTW, no panties, no wad...

You’re in way over your head here.

The nonsense on this thread is 100% generated by you. Starting with your BS about the “purple trim.”

Good grief. If you think you’re going to convince me, or anyone, that you have anything to say or any point to make by dressing it up as a fake mathematical equation, or logical syllogism, or whatever in the name of Sam Hill that is, why, you just go ahead and knock yourself out.

So how do you do that with a computer? What’s the program they are using?

Have you ever heard of the movie Avatar?

Does the expression Computer-Generated Image (CGI) ring a bell?

Okay here is your post,

“I especially like the phony Blair Witch Project camera shake.”

then you said,

“The first one was when you mistakenly concluded that my original statement was equivalent to asserting that, when a camera shakes then that means its fake”.

Okay well I’m still waiting other than “not correct” with no response other than that.

Please elaborate what you mean by “phony Blair Witch Project camera shake”?

Guess you have never heard of sarcasm???

The purpose of an antecedent(like sarcasm ) is to expose how flawed your premiss and logic is in your original point.

You obviously have anger management issues. You need help.

Many things are "obvious" to those who can't distinguish between fantasy and reality.
