Videos can be faked too, though it's much more difficult to fake a
video because a video is nothing more than a series of still pictures -
to fake 10 seconds of video you have to fake about 250 still images.
Take a look at this video:
Do you think it's a fake? I've looked at it very carefully and I'm
still not sure - I can't really see any discontinuity that would prove
this. However this video has aroused a lot of interest and there are
several YouTube videos and websites that will try to convince you that
it is a fake, a 'viral video' designed to promote the clothes brand
KillaThrill (the name appears prominently in the video).
My position is that of
course it's possible to produce a convincing fake video but that it's
difficult and expensive - many hundreds of thousands of dollars to fake
a video as convincing as this (at 2010 prices). Would this clothing
company have really spent so much to make a video that was never shown
on TV and only became known through YouTube?
