Re: Killer Whale Lands On Kayak : Proof It's fake

[universalnametag]

just like 9/11. google "september clues"..you'd be surprised.

[kathie1441]

so what caused the kayaker to go under then?

[GregOrca]

@kathie1441

He didn't go under. He stayed on the surface and since he was digitally inserted in the first place, he was just removed from the composite when lined up with the orca.

A separately shot guy who was doing an upside down roll recovery was then composited into the same general area and thus looked like he was surfacing. It's very simple digital compositing techniques used that anyone can do in software like shake, nuke and adobe aftereffects etc

[timwaltham]

good debunk

[ILoveAnimals718]

either way you look at it, that whale got good air

[EricFaith1]

how are the tags family guy and lullaby?!? read them!

[TheDoorknob1]

GUYS IT IS REAL! THIS VIDEO IS THE FAKE ONE! EVEN ASK MY DAD

[theguy776]

@TheDoorknob1 OK how can I?

[TheRacistCunt]

@TheDoorknob1 i asked your dad and he said it was fake. btw, he thinks your a gullible fucktard.

[TheDoorknob1]

@TheRacistCunt I'm 12 years old and what is this

[TheRacistCunt]

@TheDoorknob1 look Mr. Doorknob, I do not expect to have to troll you, 12 years old is mature enough to know what and what not to say on youtube. I apologise for my earlier language (I must point out that it was excusable with me being unaware of your age so tender). I admire the somewhat misplaced audacity of your initial comment ,although you were abruptly caught out by me as you were never expecting me to check up with your father. consider the consequences of commenting hastily!

[TheDoorknob1]

@TheRacistCunt OH MY!

[TheRacistCunt]

@TheDoorknob1 OH YOU!

[halofan38]

@TheDoorknob1 hahaha

[Venaloid]

Wow, I wouldn't have caught that, nicely done!

[pyroboy08]

I bet this guy also thinks that the moon landing, and the holocaust are hoaxs

[terminator847]

Too bad. I wish the orcas would hunt and kill humans like Human hunt and kill it, instead of trying to be "playful" with them.

[brenmazzz]

@terminator847 Orcas=Perfect Predators. Humans=Dumbass Depredators.

[GregOrca]

@terminator847

I doubt orcas would be that silly. They are highly intelligent and very observant of the behaviour of other creatures. This has been established by many scientists. As marine park scientists know, Orcas can identify individual humans by face, gait, body appearance and mannerisms etc.

So they are capable of observing humans are potentially dangerous AND social, and their intelligence might likely suggest to them the likelihood of retaliation by other humans if they attacked one.

[Darthbelal]

@missones Orcas DO venture in very close to shore and people do go out in kayaks and surfboards amongst them. For some screwball reason, Orcas just don't attack people, at least not in the wild. They kill just about everything else, but they leave people alone. An orca isn't going to accidentally capsize a kayak. I've heard of stories that people paddling about on surfboards have been CLOSELY inspected by Orcas because they kinda look like sea lions, but not of an out and out attack.

[khakain]

So they trained the whale to do that?

Cool.

[sorcene]

@khakain: No, someone just took one video and overlayed it on another. Whales do that leap out of the water naturally, it's called "breaching", and its a behavior common to many types of whales. No training took place, the original video was of an Orca in the wild.

[meatball1324]

bullshit!

[PowerSprinter]

@missones Im sure that kayaks dont go nearly as deep in the ocean, so yes they are safe

but i would have totally shat my fucking pants if i was in that boat

[SuperCharlieBabes]

Oh hooray. Another ass full of himself...

[breezeway2004]

was it a commercial of PowerAde in USA?

[breezeway2004]

was it powerAde commercial in USA?

[area220sucks]

which one is real?

[BaileyJapes]

The name killer whale is so distracting for some people. No wild orca has ever killed a person. BUT, 4 people have been killed by captive orcas and many injured - a little clue that they don't go well with captivity and training.

[Crittab]

@BaileyJapes Awesome comment. You can't take such an incredible creature out of the ocean, stick it in a pool, teach it tricks and expect it to be happy about it.

[yamas07]

get a life you fucking wanker it looked cool so dont tease it. fucking skunk

[AsamiyaShin1978]

Good job.

[pradtheprophet]

good job mate......

[ChopperCity47]

moon landings= fake

[jayice92]

o thin if ook at the comparison of teh peopel in the kayak adn teh whale the whale looks way to big

[NASANAZIRACE]

People are smarter than any other creature on this planet. It's just that most of the humans don't use their brains.

[csh482]

haha i like the end caption. 'orcas aren't stupid'

[zeuselrayo]

thanks

[ColombianDude96]

Dude that video is fake! tnx for showing us man

[guitarbabe21]

thanks for this proof. I believe you.

[Napalmdog]

If the possibility of the kayaks being edited in is there, the possibilities of the kayaks being edited OUT is there too. I'm not quite sure proving this is fake is so important anyways.

[complyersnot]

DAMNNNNNNNNN

~$@?%^&

[whalelover1231]

so fake, the video is right, orcas aren't stupid. the're smarter than people in some ways!

[Acanaceous]

I heard a story wherein a kid was splashing around in waters inhabited by harbor seals. Two orcas charged him, then screeched to a halt when they realized he wasn't a seal. They then retreated, possibly clicking "Sorry, our bad."

[whalelover1231]

thats because the way MOST people swim they can appear to be seals.

honest mistake. i mean who know the orcas may have been old with bad eyes, or young and with no experiance.

either way orcas aren't stupid

[Orionsbelt92]

hah....srsly

*sarcasm*

[PalkiaLova112]

they're smarter than people in all ways bitch

[whalelover1231]

can a whale solve an algebra problem? i think not. but they are very smart and your very rude.

[PalkiaLova112]

lol what a dimwit, what the fuck is algebra? what the hell does that have to do with nature?

[whalelover1231]

you dont know what algebra is. im 11 and i do. you are verry stupid.

and it is an example that whales are smarter than people in allmost all ways. but they aren't in all. they are smarter in all ways in certian catagories. like surviving but not in math you ignorant stupid beeep

[PalkiaLova112]

you asshole i know what algebra is, what i was asking was what significance does it have towards nature???? fuck you

[GuitarGunz178]

wow ur talking to an 11 year old like that. u prick,u have no life

[PalkiaLova112]

and by the way i know what algebra is

[PonguigPeopinn]

So why don't they build a rocket to the moon?

[Grommo]

LOL. Some nutter once asked me "If orcas are so smart why don't they use fire like we do?"

He was oblivious to the irony!

Yes, perhaps they should build a rocket to the moon and put all the human idiots there. Then there would only be a few hundred thousand left on earth.

[scorp8pus]

Hey Grommo....

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Orcas got to the moon first!

The commercial is a good fake but the Apollo "moon landing" videos are the biggest fakes of all!

[Grommo]

You think the moon landings were faked? LOL

Try to learn some optics, physics, history and critical thinking then try that claim again.

[scorp8pus]

I had complimented you on bringing forward the truth and you laugh at me.... hmmm perhaps I was too hasty.

I have no interest in getting into it with you.... you go ahead and believe what you want.

Thought perhaps you were a truth seeker.... guess you're just yet another "hide behind the computer and spew" youtuber.

You probably think Bin Laden was behind 9/11 too...

Wake Up!

[Grommo]

I am a truth seeker. That's why I know the moon landings were real. please try to learn about aviation science and film making and you will understand why the landings were not faked.

I am a professional visual effects expert who understands in depth film making . I have worked on a number of oscar winning projects and understand aviation and aerospace detail to a degree beyond your comprehension

I KNOW they were not faked.

[scorp8pus]

Good for you fly-boy...

Buh-Bye!

[bob31629]

@Grommo you talk shit beyond my comprehension

[Grommo]

In regards to what topic?

Fluid dynamics is a subject beyond most people's comprehension so that's not surprising. Do you understand what a karman vortex street is in regards to the aerodynamic wake behind a vehicle or stationary object in moving airstream? Do you understand the coanda effect or bernoulli?

Possibly not but although such topics are beyond most people's comprehension all aviation relies on them and so such topics are not shit. They are simply reality.

[amerbfr]

@Grommo ... Do you know why cow shit is flat.... Do you know why rabbit shit is round... Do you know why duck shit is wet... YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT!

[thesleepydude]

@Grommo ur moms fake and gay

[Kunis321]

@Grommo u just made me feel stupid lmfao

[RetSquid]

@Grommo

How do the' moonlandingswerefake" guys explain the laser mirrors that they left on the moon?

[Grommo]

Exactly. Verifiable reality is not a strong point with conspiracy theorists.

[valiumsummer]

@Grommo or people of religious faith for that matter.

[Sims2Media]

This only proves that one of the videos is fake.. get it straight brick.

[Grommo]

Have a look in the "more info " section.

The advertising production company and people involved in faking the kayakers are thoroughly documented and you can track the info down independently from their websites.

If you understand vfx and know stock wildlife footage libraries, the fact that the sequence was faked for the advert is beyond dispute.

[GuitarGunz178]

wow man these guys are pricks. the moon landings werent faked,i think they do crack or something.

[rivercarper01]

@Grommo sounds like your the only person on this comments page that has credibility and inteligence. This vid is fake and the moon landings were real, end of (watch mythbusters moon conspiracy). As for as I can see these put any moon conspiracys to rest permanently. I dont understand why Americans havto eleborate on solid facts with wild and crazy theories,e.g thermite plasma in the twin towers? your barking up the wrong tree there, building 7 was the controlled demolition, not the twin towers

[Balthorck]

@PalkiaLova112 lol

[Prethenie]

I believed it. Lol! Thanks.

[cbtaken]

It's sad people give a bad rap to such an awesome animal.

[DanSnyder101]

@cbtaken well they are the number 1 killer in the oceans so they give themselves the bad wrap. theyre fuckin cool though.

[sunblockquestionmark]

@DanSnyder101 ... Do you mean killer of humans? Or just killer of animals in general... because they arent number one in either of those...

[CarpMagic95]

wow it was a fake, and. lol i mean why not just let others wonder.

[jillsimon]

Well im glad iv seen its a fake, just bought a Kayak and was shittin goin out into the ocean! Thanks for posting!

[Grommo]

Yeah, you can cross Orcas off your list of kayaking threats definitely.

Great whites are another matter like that chap that tried to paddle from Australia to NZ and was stalked by one to a short distance off the NZ coast.

[Maerkvaerdig]

HAHA same whale, same move

[tdsmeg4]

this proves nothing nobody said orcas were stupid but orcas are wild animals and have the ability to jump on anything or any person and those people making the noise in the backround and others screaming seems real however what does seem fake is the mountain background cuz its the ocean

[Grommo]

What it proves is that the widely disseminated vid of the orca jumping on the kayak is Fake and was produced by Wieden Kennedy advertising agency for the powerade sports drink.

No kayak was landed on by an orca!

Many oceans have mountains on their shore.

Those are actors speaking to a script in Korean.

[tdsmeg4]

either way this still proves nothing much except the mountain beackground is a total fake cuz its the ocean i mean really

[Grommo]

You're kidding right?

Ever been to the ocean? It's that big wet thing with land and sometimes mountains at the edges or in the middle of it.

Have a look at pictures of Frederick Sound Alaska or Vancouver Island British Columbia.

Even have a look at Hawaii.

I know orcas aren't stupid. It's members of another species I'm worried about.

[tdsmeg4]

i have been to the ocean twice cuz my family can't afford places like hawaii and all that

[willownss]

lol like totally how could there be mountains and trees in a ocean background. everyone knows that the ocean only extends out from hollywood. psh

[tdsmeg4]

what do you mean

[willownss]

i was being sarcastic

[tdsmeg4]

i didn't ask that but what ev

[greatlakeskayaker]

I've been on the ocean with mountains in the background and I've hiked mountain trails that lead to the ocean shore.

[gt3107]

thank you they arnt stupid

[TheBamakid]

i knew it

[rayseakan10]

i knew it!!!

[GregOrca]

The orca is real, the kayakers are real, it's just that they were never together in the same place, but added together in compositing software.

[creeklax]

hmmm, of course an orca himself would claim this vicious attack to be fake...haha.

it's fake! it doesn't take a genius.

[Waterdrifter]

nice. when i saw the "fake" i was highly suspect of it being real. As u said, orcas r just not that stupid. also, orcas don't do that for attacking.

[metridium]

It is astonishing how many people believe this Kayak breaching really happened... but even more puzzling is how many don't want it to not be real. Urban myths refuse to go away easily, my hat off to Wieden and Kennedy. Nice job Grommo !

[Yarwer]

killer whales are reknowned for their . . . "psychotic" behaviour

[seemonkeydomonkey]

Wow.

[SweetCheekShan]

its not fake. its on the Wikipedia!

[Grommo]

Wikipedia says it's fake too

[AirCalv]

dude wikipedia inst a proper encyclopedia the essasys is done by random people

[Gastrophetes]

You're not a good source either so shut the fuck up or learn to spell. The people who edit are MUCH smarter than you anyways. You mean to say articles, and most articles on the internet outside of wikipedia use random other information from random other sites. At least wikipedia states sources. Also, try and change something there. It will be taken down almost immediately if it's wrong. You can't just type whatever the fuck you want so stop being brain washed by your teachers or again STFU.

[annamolli91]

I'm sorry, but he's right. It was actually reported that a student put something on Wikipedia for a study, he faked a quote from a dead poet. He didn't think anyone would use it, but it turned out many major newspaper used the quote when writing about the poet.

People can write almost anything on Wikipedia, and it'll get through, just a fact.

Anyone can list fake sources.

How are they supposed to know it's wrong?

[Gastrophetes]

Try it yourself. No consequences. Make up something moderately believable on an article that is not a stub. Tell me what happens. I'm telling you mine didn't go through.

[annamolli91]

haha, I have absolutely no interest in that, sorry.

I'm just telling you about this to try to protect a little of the AirCalv's dignity. You just ripped him up as if he was making a personal attack on your mother, just brutal.

Consider anger management.

[Gastrophetes]

Lol. Yes it was an overreaction. Just tired of people thoughtlessly repeating what they hear without actually making any attempt to validate it. Wikipedia is fairly hard to troll, and you would be very unlucky to pick some false info from it unless you were looking at something ridiculously specific. Any people, places or media most likely will reject it within the hour,

[lunarossa94]

who is aircalv?

[garter10895]

haha, wikipedia. Anyone could put stuff on that. It said that the missiouri river is the longest river in the usa. Not a reliable source.

[ffggddss]

(1/2) Actually true, in this sense. Where the Missouri flows into the Mississippi at St. Louis, it's just an accident of naming, which of the two upstream branches got the same name as the single downstream branch, from there to New Orleans. If what we call the Missouri River, had the same name as what we call the Mississippi River from their confluence at St. Louis downstream to New Orleans, that river is, in fact, the longest in the U.S. Some sources name this the "Mississippi-Missouri River."

[ffggddss]

(2/2) And this "Mississippi-Missouri River" is longer than the "Mississippi River," from its source in Lake Itasca, MN to New Orleans, LA.

[lon9i9]

OP gdjm!

[9stevo2]

can u imagine if that really happened........

like one day ur just out kayaking and a fucking whale landed on u!!! lol lol fuckin priceless

[0stmackaA]

I would laugh lol

[SweetCheekShan]

I know, Ledgendary! :L

[LycoSs]

of course orcas aren't stupid!

[NunStampede]

WIKIPEDIA: The most reliable source of information about whales.

[shamustalker]

Ooops I must've misunderstood what it said. Sorry!

-shamu stalker

[shamustalker]

No. This video is real. I was on wikipedia looking up killer whales and under one of the sections it said that a video of a killer whale attacking a kayak is true and that video was posted by a zoologist. Not the videomaker here. End of conclusion: It's not fake.

[Grommo]

Nope, go re-read the entry. it says "An internet distributed video with millions of viewers shows an orca appearing to jump on a group of kayakers. Regularly presented on TV news as a real attack and discussed by zoologists, it is really a hoax advert by Wieden Kennedy for a sports drink using computer compositing."

i know because I wrote it.

[sweetshark3]

this is fake and wikipedia is not the end all end all go look and see if you can find it from a good source

[ThrashAddict1540]

MAYBE ITS THE SAME EXACT WHALE!!!!

[Grommo]

It is the same exact whale doing the same exact jump.

If you mean it's the same whale doing similar jumps at different times that is impossible. It would be impossible for splashes and surface waves and body moves somehow filmed from the exact same angle to exactly match in two different jumps.

[ThrashAddict1540]

dude it was a joke as in the same exact whale jumping the same way in two completely different locations

[Grommo]

Yeah, no worries, although you get the most idiotic genuine comments on youtube sometimes.

Often hard to tell jokers from the braindead !

[ThrashAddict1540]

true, true i guess thats why some people write lol if its a joke. i should do that more often even though it makes me feel stupid

[snowsurfer267]

its fake the kayak wouldve broke in half

[jaliendmakenzie]

i dnt believe its fake aT 0.45 LOOK TE WATERS DIFFERENT

[Grommo]

Look at the waves. When you have the frames and splashes in synch the wave positions and shape and configuration are identical.

The colour is irrelevant as that is graded.

Having identical waves over an equal span of time in separately shot footage is a physical impossibility.

[Stretedge]

how do we know that you didnt just take the kayakers out of the original video, ay?

[xLightFilmsx]

What would orcas breaching having anything to do with them being stupid?  You dumbfuck.

[Grommo]

Orcas would not be stupid enough to deliberately breach on top of a kayak containing an extremely aggressive animal (ie, human) far more dangerous than themselves.

Wild orcas regularly display awareness of humans and wariness of dangerous boats and situations.

[iAmCoopz]

You seem to be gay with Orca's.

[Stretedge]

gee arent you a bit too defensive of these whales, what did your whale wife make you post that just so you could get whale laid!

[jgood911]

you must jerk off to Animal Planet.

[Grommo]

Is that a recommendation?

Which show works best for you?

[jgood911]

That one with the meerkats.

[Grommo]

Small, tight, furry...... mmmmmmmmm.... drool

[jgood911]

Stop that's turning me on.

[shedano]

Orcas have taken down and eaten sperm whales. They do not eat humans but there have been a few known attacks to happen. They're curious creatures and have even flipped humans off their boats just to see what they are. It also depends if they're transient, resident, or the more rare offshore Orca.

I very much doubt they view the human as an aggressive animal. They simply view us a intelligent creatures.

There have been orcas that follow boats all the time because it usually catches food for them.

[blakeney806]

At those that are truly disapointed this isnt real......its a powerade ad....you thought it was real?? speechless;p

[Takxukuak]

Thank you telling the true , not surprising people get stupid then !

[Speicher075]

I was gonna say, i know killer whales are big but...not more then double the size of a kayak

[Regiald]

damn.. i really wanted that to be true :(

[Denis543]

way to be a mr buzzkill you fag!

[gotpoptarts101]

ur a party poooper

[littlevampire487]

Way 2 ruin it :(

I Thot the clip was quite smart tbh

bitch

[lickthepony]

oh stfu fag

[JonnyRawket]

I feel like I just got Rickroll'd.

[darkmoon606]

If you look closely that splashes are not the same when you pause it. When you look at some of the markings on his tummy they are similiar but not the same! It could be true but then again maybe not we just need more proof!

[Grommo]

That's only because the two original clips run at different frame speeds so my frame alignment is not perfect. But the fact that the splashes match drop for drop at various alignments, + the background position prove conclusively it is the same footage. Impossible for different splashes on different jumps in different sea ripples to exactly match like that. Basic physics, probability and occams razor. Plus it won a VFX award ffs !!!!!

[carebeararsed]

ur just a killjoy... i wish that guy got squashed... it would be so funny lol

[glettygoat]

once i got high off power aid... then killed a man the add lies! it did increase my strength

and how do we know you didnt edit the kayakers out of the clip?

[jessiep847]

LOL, U RUINED MY DREAMS, THANKS ALOT, HA HA!!! jk. ur a smart cookie though!! and ya, WHALES ARNT THAT STUPID!! GO GATORADE!!

[Pandemoniumshuffle]

Well you have to admit that was a good edit the person did xD!

[sniper282]

hmm what if theyjust landed the same???

[Grommo]

If you layer the original wildlife footage and doctored advert footage over each other in adobe aftereffects you can see the body action and even the splash droplets match exactly.

It is mathematically impossible that two similar "landings" could produce identical splashes. Identical jumps in the same landscape too? It is definitively fake.

[elbowproductions]

wow....smart...i've been trying to figure out whether it was real or not and this just proved it to me...cheers for answering one of life's unsolved mysteries :D

[evyboy]

nope not impossible just improbable

[gabekill]

pizzas good

[Peramorphosis]

yeah totino's

[xxxTAMYKAxxx]

your a fucking idiot lol.

its quite clear the whale is the same whale :S

[lanai1232]

Ur so mean i did beleave that an now i am mad cuz i cant live my dreams on finding that Huge whale

MEany

[muncher58]

the whale exists

the incident never happened

In theory you could find the whale

[spliffmeiser]

Power Aid ruined my dreams...I think Power Aid is fake...Fuck U Power Aid

[PizzaguylolXD]

Thanks for ruining my dreams!!!

[pixie647]

oh srry when i said i think its real i ment i dont think its real lol srry

[SuperSkaSurfer]

such as???

(ooh i think i know the answer to this one!)

[PakaNoHida]

Nice catch, I know Orcas aren't stupid and are way smarter then some presidents.

[Connor44Dope]

""will"" Sry people

[Connor44Dope]

I' am working on a spoof newspaper using this fottage and picture. and putting it out in stores see if people with think to by it.

[TitaniumToothpaste]

no shit tis fake, its a freaking powerade comercial

[catistrofic]

hey grommo good job i wouldent have been able to see that nice!

[kocsog987]

It's fake. It was an advert for Poweraid.

[Grommo]

Yeah, some observant folk have spotted that in the video title and content.
