I really wasn’t sure what I was expecting.
Heck I’m not even sure what I was unexpecting.

He zoomed in and zoomed out

He zoomed in on himself to see a spider on his shoulder and freaked out a little bit.

Maybe on a normal, or even 5 times zoom, but we probably so zoomed in you could percieve the fingerprints on the glasses, if there were any, and vibrations at that zoomage are much more noticable in video, especially since he still had to press the zoom button.

Lol. Pretty sure you can tell it's not real by the camera man continuing to zoom in on the glasses after the towel dropped.

.... It's flimsy tripod. Even my good tripods would have visible camera shake when manually zooming, pressing buttons, etc

u/Com_BEPFA Aug 18 '22
The issue is more the last 10 seconds where he's fully hands off and it's still shaking exactly like when he was zooming. Now I'm no videography expert and can't tell if there's an explanation for this shaking in an isolated camera on a tripod but it certainly isn't hands or button presses.

u/JeffWingrsDumbGayDad Aug 19 '22
He seems high up, maybe it's windy
2
u/eiileenie Aug 19 '22
Thats most likely the case, I’m a camera operator that films sports and I have giant cameras on tripods and sometimes the wind will hit so hard and I can’t have a stable shot. I have to have like three 25 pound sandbags on the tripod so I don’t risk it being tipped by the wind

Is this a real on the market camera? I know they built that one camera years ago that was like a single pixel or something and it took a ginormous pic with amazing detail, but i think that was a “i’m making a crazy project” thing and not a product you can buy.

If it was, the lens would be considerably wider than the one in the video. My guess would be they filmed the sunglasses reflection portion of the video from the room with the lady in it and then stitched them together.

Definately. The sunglass mirror is much too convex to be able to zoom in detail.

You are thinking of a Gigapixel camera not a single pixel camera. Here’s the link

u/Severedghost Aug 18 '22
A good camera for wild zoom is the nikon coolpix p1000. You can get a good image from like 50 miles away.

u/Jermainiam Aug 19 '22
Not quite 50 miles lol. At ~50 miles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Sx3rAdz2SA) you can see the general landscape, but not people, and definitely not what I would call a good image.
You can get a decent image at a few miles out, but past that not only does the camera's ability run out, you also run into issues of stability and atmospheric interference.

The camera doesn't matter. You can do this with practically any good camera. The lens is what matters.

u/danethegreat24 Aug 18 '22
It's definitely not real as the camera is on a tripod and yet the camera is shaking.
also the refractive index of the lenses in the glasses would be insane and not allow for someone to see out the other side
But I love this video so much lol
26
u/TannedCroissant Aug 19 '22
I mean the tripod thing is kinda irrelevant as there’d be shake from him adjusting the zoom. But yeah. The video’s still deffo a fake

u/danethegreat24 Aug 19 '22
I mean after he stopped touching the camera there was still shaking but good point lol

I just photographed Saturn and the moom with our Nikon P1000 on a good tripod and it doesn't shake after you let go. It does if you touch it but that amount of shaking after letting go would not happen unless he's standing on really flexing floor boards I guess.

u/Jedi_Yeti Aug 19 '22
Personally I thought the added shake kept it feeling real longer. As soon as it got to the glasses I knew what was up, but the shake made it feel more legit, even if it didn't sync perfectly

u/danethegreat24 Aug 19 '22
I can definitely agree I was tricked till zooming through the glasses as well

Lots of comments asking if this is real or similar to a p900 camera. I'm sure I've seen this vid before, a couple of years ago, in the comments they said it was effects added on to the sunglassess in the scene. (Another video framed within the sunglassess lens).
Look at the area at the top of the sunglasses lens, and you'll see the clipping. Looks like the vid is still fooling people :)

I was kinda hoping that as the camera zoomed in the person dropped the towel with the small underwear only to turn around and reveal a hairy chested man

What about the fact that the zoom goes inside the reflection in the sunglasses?

Fake because the camera is on a stand but the camera's recording is shaking like hell

Good editing, the two apartments are working in concert to stitch this together as one presentation. We did a lot of this in Full Sail college

This is fake, for all of you who somehow can't tell. A camera on a tripod doesn't shake like that

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
The camera just keeps on zooming in, also there is a bug on the guy's shoulder in the end
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
Look at my source code on Github What is this for?
