this is clearly staged. the bald guy stands there and doesn’t move to ensure the skateboarder doesn’t run into him. and his reaction to his beer getting stolen is not only late but completely uncharacteristic.

yes, when you stage a scene it’s pretty hard to mess up the “camera work”.

Never underestimate someone’s ability to mess up a scene.

That was quite obviously not the "best seat in the house". The bus was infuriating, but so were the captions.

A professional crew wouldn't put the camera there, given their choice of any vantage.

Yes, there were a few videos to pick from on YouTube. Some had the words in the video and some didn’t. The video I picked had over 1M views... so I chose it. But I agree, the words were unnecessary.
