FAKE!! Too bad you don’t realize that the guy is faking it. If you would have bothered looking at his profile (and other such clips) you would have realized.

Looooooser…

Welcome to QT3! What a cuddly little thing you are.

Adam Altmann:

I can’t stop watching this.

As Jon Danger said, “So awesome!”

This is so fun to watch if you have seen Wall-E.

Kermit the Frog reacts to “2 girls one cup”

Wow, I’m surprised the Henson people have allowed that one to stay up.

Lizard_King:

Actually, to stay nearer to the genre, I would recommend Smell Yo Dick (NWS) from way back in this thread.

That’s one of my favorite discoveries due to this thread. That and boxxybabee. I laugh my head off everytime.

Who Watches The Wall-E?

Holy shit. My two favorite movies from the past twelve months combined. That’s fantastic.

He creates an awesome bit of tension in the first 1/2 of the video and it’s pretty cool the way he figuratively and literally releases it.

Extreme Sheep Herding

How much of that do you think was faked/CGI? I amazed at how credulous people are about it.

Why do you think it’s fake?

bago · 2009-03-21T13:18:51.000Z

The black and white sheep walking animation are… highly suspect.

Demon_G_Sides · 2009-03-21T13:52:00.000Z

And if not CGI they are heavily edited to look seamless.

Demon G Sides:

I think this is the more likely explanation. I mean, it’s pretty OBVIOUSLY heavily edited, given that people (and dogs) don’t jump from position to position like they do in the video. But I don’t think you’d need CGI to do it; just a lot of time in the video editing room.

And you REALLY think they could have pulled off that Mona Lisa thing?

It isn’t as if they managed to herd various colored sheep into formation and then have all of the sheep stand there. They move them into sections, took a photo, then a different section, took another photo, etc… it’s time-consuming, but hey, what else are you going to do if you live in Wales?

Yes, whatever else could a welshman think up to do with a sheep.

RobotPants · 2009-03-22T09:53:02.000Z

Yes, and then there’s the fact that the creators of the video aren’t even trying to pretend it’s completely real:

Matt Smith:

We thought the Mona Lisa was the big wink to people – once they saw that we thought they would realise it was not all real.

But we have been quite surprised that there is still a debate about whether it is all real and people have been coming up with various theories.

And by “people” I can only assume he means “gullible morons”.

Anaxagoras · 2009-03-22T12:01:04.000Z

RobotPants:

No, I think he meant “people who realize that mankind has done much more incredible things than herd sheep in a particular pattern.”

You might want to look up the definitions of both “gullible” and “moron”. It was neither overly credulous nor moronic to believe that bored sheep herders might do stupid shit in their spare time.

I assumed Microsoft choose “Leopard” as the codename for Windows 7 based on the cat. Now Im thinking its form the leopard slug.
