bronzee Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Gee and I was getting all excited about riding a bike again after going to a show today. First one is a dummy. The perils of being on 2 wheels. Quote
M13KYF Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Set-up That is a dummy and why would anybody video a boring stretch of road anyway. Is that Jeremy Beadle in the background don't think it is a dummy. The rider applies the brake at the last second. Most likely blacks out with the impact hence the dummy like appearance. He then come around later. Quote
sl114 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Its real, he moves his arm near the end Quote
Drexyl Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 It's a promotional film, notice there's no other vehicles around? My guess is it's a dummy on the scooter released as the car aproaches with the obvious outcome. The film is then cut as the pedestrian runs into the frame from the near right of the shot, the dummy is replaced with an actual person, and the the film is shot again with the same pedestrian running into the frame. This hides the switch and makes it look more convincing. A similar ad was shown over here with a car on a busy high street running down a child, the switch was hidden behind a pair of pidgeons flying across the frame, all very clever stuuf, but definately rigged Quote
