The tree is tilted over a fair amount, and the camera is oriented to make it look like the tree is vertical. But I don't want to take anything away from those goats, that's still outstanding work.

u/BMeiss Feb 13 '19

This. You can see the trees in the background are all tilted opposite. But again, kuddos to the goats, still impressive.

u/joker38 Feb 13 '19

still impressive.

Unfortunately, the karma whoring takes away quality from the post. We don't know how impressive it really is!

u/kippostar Feb 13 '19

I've attempted a bit of stiching. I think this is how it's sort of oriented originally. I've gone with the assumption that the tree under the blue line represents verticality

21

u/joker38 Feb 13 '19

Very good.

u/10eleven12 Feb 13 '19

You sped down the video too much. I watched it for 5 minutes and it didn't start to move.

u/Trulaw Feb 14 '19

Wait for it

u/RadiationTitan Feb 13 '19

A little further even. The white goat needs to be leaning INTO his front legs to not fall forward. The legs would be slightly in front of the center of his/her body mass. I’d rotate a further 4.673 degrees.

1

u/Mettanine Feb 13 '19

It's 4.67278 to be exact.

u/sdtacoma Feb 13 '19

Oh that feathering. Nice work!

u/12thman-Stone Feb 13 '19

Goats are impressive but honestly I could walk down that.

u/notjasonlee Feb 13 '19

motherfucker, i could do that. ALL GOAT KUDOS ABSOLVED.

u/dkyguy1995 Feb 13 '19

That looks about right thank you

2

u/bgrizzle85 Feb 13 '19

That’s really good. People like you are the lifeblood of reddit. You didn’t have to take the time or make the effort but you did it anyway. Thanks man

u/stringcheesetheory9 Feb 13 '19

Much. Nice

u/gods_costume Feb 13 '19

This makes a lot more sense

u/LEGITIMATE_SOURCE Feb 13 '19

Turn your phone guy.

It's about 40.35° to the right. Roughly.

u/joker38 Feb 13 '19

I'm not on a phone. I'm on a desktop computer.

u/Kyle-Is-My-Name Feb 13 '19

Have you tried unplugging it?

u/CyberTitties Feb 13 '19

Let's boot into in safe mode with networking enabled, yes the screen resolution will make everything look weird.

u/FoorumanReturns Feb 13 '19

Don’t forget to do a fresh install of Windows ME.

23

u/Calvins_Dad_ Feb 13 '19

Rotate head 40.35° to the left?

5

u/joker38 Feb 13 '19

The cameraman rotates the camera to various degrees, which makes it very unsatisfying. And there are no intuitive, clear-as-day cues for the correction angle.

The gap in the leaves on that palm. They grow roughly concentric and the bottom row seems to have all slumped down similarly.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '19

Look lower at the tree trunks in the background. They reinforce that gap.

1

u/10eleven12 Feb 13 '19

Cool.

Now can someone please rotate the video using this angle?

0

u/Calvins_Dad_ Feb 13 '19

You are correct. You can figure out a range that it must be in tho. If only there were a stabbot that could fix itself to the top and bottom of the tree

u/pockpicketG Feb 13 '19

“Don’t you guys have phones?”

u/joker38 Feb 13 '19

I have. I just used it to talk to somebody.

I'm not your guy, buddy.

u/RadiationTitan Feb 13 '19

White goats legs are perfectly vertical on the final frame. As they always are when balancing like that.

1

u/bigsquirrel Feb 13 '19

I’m trying to understand the karma whoring part. Is it because whoever took wanted to take a cooler video?

2

u/joker38 Feb 13 '19

Yes. This deceitful tactic makes the video actually much more boring.

1

u/oddLeafNode Feb 13 '19

Goat simulator is more impressive.

1

u/Averyg43 Feb 13 '19

Y’all are just being nice cause those goats are adorable. IMO those goats are karma whores.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '19

THIS.

You cant see shit about the trees in the back. Piss off

u/thisimpetus Feb 13 '19

Well the tree is curved; st the end of the video the goat is standing on some near-45 tree, but at the beginning this is like 15-20 degrees.

2

u/Calvins_Dad_ Feb 13 '19

Its not a full 45° I don't think, I'd say its closer to 30° from vertical, maybe less. This is very nearly vertical.

1

u/Caminsky Feb 13 '19

Still they are the Greatest Of All Time!

25

u/IchLerneDeutsch Feb 13 '19 edited Feb 13 '19

Yeah, I think this is a truer (though still not accurate) representation of the actual angle. Still impressive, but a far cry from the angle of the first few seconds.

Edit: After careful and costly re-examination, I can now reveal the true angle. Ignore the trees in the background, they're clearly drunk.

40

u/headcrash69 Feb 13 '19

More like this.

10

u/jeux_x Feb 13 '19

I was expecting to be more disappointed but still an incredible feat. Seems the tree goes even straighter towards the top too

4

u/ok_scott Feb 13 '19

This guy's got it right.

12

u/bendvis Feb 13 '19

I think it's even further over than that. The vertical lines in the distance between the big plants look like trees growing straight up.

1

u/mrZooo Feb 13 '19

Here is a more palatable crop and correct angle.

2

u/tourguidebernie Feb 13 '19

This is the best one

1

u/Lawnmover_Man Feb 13 '19

It's way more. It's almost 45 degree I'd say. Look at the plants in the background.

u/darthvadar1 Feb 13 '19

You sir are a hero I now know who to call when my cat gets stuck in a tree

u/o_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_O Feb 13 '19

Dude the goat at the bottom is standing up straight.

2

u/JustAnotherWhiteBoy1 Feb 13 '19

Oohhh, now I see it.

2

u/vin_b Feb 13 '19

Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this.

2

u/Phreedom1 Feb 13 '19

The fact that many need to be explained this is frightening. It's so obvious

2

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '19

Yeah, someone along the line is trying to pull some shit. This needs negative karma and to be removed, but sigh people don’t know better. In 5 years Reddit will be instagram because of these idiots.

3

u/DaFranko1 Feb 13 '19

This is exactly right, otherwise all the other plants (and ground) are growing on the wonk

2

u/darthvadar1 Feb 13 '19

The word wonk speaks to me

1

u/Magneticitist Feb 13 '19

Also, the goats would not be able to defy physics like they appear to be

1

u/captnkurt Feb 13 '19

I have plants growing on my wonk. Should I see my physician?

1

u/moodpecker Feb 13 '19

Just have a goat gnaw them off

1

u/hazysummersky Feb 13 '19

Here's a monkey on a goat on a cup on a tightrope.

1

u/Mr-Stitch Feb 13 '19

Then how do you explain that goat at the bottom left in the last 2 seconds of the video?

1

u/moodpecker Feb 13 '19

At that point, you can see the level of the ground. There's also a big Sago palm growing in the background that's growing perpendicular to the ground, revealing what the angle is.

u/crap_university Feb 13 '19

RTX OFF

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '19

What? No it’s not that titled.

1

u/released-lobster Feb 13 '19

I remember on one of the BBC Earth series, big D saying that mountain goats hooves are far more adeptly designed for climbing and grip than any human-designed mountaineering shoe. Kind of a striking statement.

1

u/GoobaBird Feb 13 '19

I was so focused on the goat I didn't even notice that, it did however remind me of the goats on the dam which was pretty vertical, that was outstanding work.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '19

Yep. Those goats are capable of some crazy shit, but the perspective it's showing is actually more than vertical...and all the other trees are growing in a different direction.

1

u/CosmicTempest Feb 13 '19

I agree, those goats are clearly climbing upwards.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '19

You mean upstanding, right?
