No way, no how.

[OHIO]

I would say fake. Maybe if it only happened once, but not twice in a matter of seconds.

Looks like dude lost his "water" twice!!

That's fake. That 'lightning' you see hit him looks very similar to the 'default' lightning you can insert into videos with adobe premiere. ALSO, the whole screen flashes the same white (there would be varying shades with lightning and there's no specular highlights on anything when the lightning comes into frame AND the lightning isn't as grainy as the rest of the video.

Good day!

Good call. Something didn't seem quite right to me, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Well done Columbo.

Thanks Nate. I knew something didn't look right, but I am no expert at what can be done with today's editing software.

LOL I wish I had the Columbo eye I miss that show

ghoti I had a whole class on photoshop and "faking" stuff with it. It carried over into video too. There's a good book out called Photoshop Forensics, good read if you like that kinda stuff.

No..... heres why....

You would see the reflection of the lightning in the vehicles. You dont.

If you look closely, the lightning graphic itself is poor.

Lighting has been known to blow the shoes off of people. It is a buildup and energy that is violently released from the ground to the air, etc.. Watch closely and he looks like a bad actor. He just falls down both times. If you have ever been shocked you know that electricity moves you. He wouldnt have just fallen over like that.

What about this one? Is it real?

[NateFollmer]

What part of it? Looks fine to me, but I didn't listen to it.

you forgot to mention that when the first lightning strikes, the shadow from the car is still pointing the same direction as it was before (down the street) instead of the way it should have gone from the lightning (towards the woods to the left)

I like the last 3 seconds the best.

It is so silly, is that really what a death metal singer does to warm-up? They warm-up? For real?

[NateFollmer]

Good call Dave. We could make a business out of this

BASS - Yes, they do warm up. You'd be surprised how hard it is to make that death metal scream. The GOOD metal bands actually have a method and aren't just randomly screaming into the mic. You need to warm up your vocal cords so they don't give out from all that screaming.
