Eagle Snatches Baby Video is Viral: Caught on Tape - Is it Real or Fake?
Eagle Snatching Baby Video
There was this video that went viral today and it featured an eagle snatching up a kid. All right, they're coming to your house. They're snatching up your kids. Let's take a look. Go through your roof, eagle snatch. Here it comes golden eagle. There's a little baby. Pick it up off the ground. You see that? Watch this. There it goes. Later eight the baby. Airborne. Oh, thanks, Kathy, dropped it.
All right, so that video went viral today. Everyone was talking about it.
A few different media outlets in Canada and let's keep it real. I'm sure in the US as well.
Report it on it. Well, it turned out that these 3D animation students made it and it's totally fake.
Okay, now this one over here climbs. Oh, I knew it all along.
I knew it as soon as Kamani sent me the video today saying this is going viral and I clicked on it.
I was like, it's fucking fake. I know it's fake and I know everyone's going to be like, oh my god. Look at it.
Look at it. Oh my god. I hate these kinds of stories. They drive me crazy.
All right, this is an internet veteran right here. Okay, you're not going to get some fake stuff by her.
Meanwhile, me, the rookie that I am, I watched it in the morning and I see this and just along with the guy, I was like, oh shit. And when I saw this slow motion, I'm like, oh no, somebody grabbed the baby. The eagle got my baby. Okay, so when I found it, it was fake. I was like, oh, thanks God because I felt bad for the poor little fella when he was falling down out of the sky there. You know, we always talk about elbow from the sky. That was an eagle from the sky.
But it's amazing what you could do with video. I know it is. And I'll tell you why it was skeptical from the get go because I've been tricked and fooled by so many videos over the past six years on this show. And then I feel embarrassed afterwards. And it's like, that's why as soon as I see something amazing, I'm like, fuck you, that's fake. If you got anything amazing for Anna, fuck you.
It's fake. And she knows it. Steve, we actually had a big debate about this over lunch today.
And Ali, our graphics guy was adamant. That is real. And he said, make it work.
After effects, you can't use it with a Photoshop blah, blah, blah. And he said, and the thing that he said that made it real was the shadows. Because there's a shadow of the eagle, there's a shadow of the child being brought. This is why I don't even on and on about it. And you know what? He convinced all of us like, oh my god, Ali's right. Yeah, that is a good shadow. Okay, so let me look at that.
You could come in. He got a shadow and a kid got a shadow. I mean, just think about CGI, for instance, right? CGI is so amazing. You can do anything. You can take someone who's like in this room right now and make it look like they're on Mars. Ali convinced me that the people calling it a hoax are hoaxing. That in fact, it's real. And the hoax, I don't imagine, imagine if that was true, how much Anna's. I was so mad. They got you anyway. Hoax of a hoax. You know, that's coming next.
Anyway, this was a project. Did they get an A? I don't know what they got. I'm guessing. Okay, well, wherever you are, man, young Turks are looking to hire you. That was some good work.
Can you take the uninteresting shit we say and turn it into interesting stuff? That never happens.
