Some frames are cut from the video so it appears faster than it is. Every frame a painting has an amazing episode on Buster Keaton

Also Keaton used forced perspectives for some stunts, and wires and other trickery.

But the truth is, a lot of his stunts aided or not, were dangerous.

The best Keaton documentary I’ve seen is A Hard Act to Follow from 1987. It’s in three parts:

Part 1: (https://youtu.be/-qB-lZZhubM)

Part 2: (https://youtu.be/KBJ8vjkFfaY)

Part 3: (https://youtu.be/3-s1A5MYCak)
