Obama Kicks Door Open [Original Video, Slow motion, Comparison]

[marcusduck]

:Not Bad:

[Mmkkii89]

At the 7 to 8 second mark, you can clearly see that the President doesn't have a ring on his right hand. At the 32 to 34 second mark, during the slow motion portion of this video, you can get a glimpse of a ring on the right hand of the "ringer". Lol. Attention to detail is very important in making these types of spoofs. Other than the ring and the stars, this was an awesomly fantastic piece of video doctoring!!!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Nanostarification]

real life sucks!!!

[shadowcloak5]

Who gives a fuck? Edited or not, it was still funny.

[mredstriumph]

I hear the laugh track they put in this.. makes me wonder if this was a Saturday Night Live or Conan spoof.

Does anyone know the original source for this?

[mredstriumph]

@mredstriumph

Found in the comments: (unverified)

NBC - Tonight Show / Jay Leno

[supermariojackson]

tutorial pls, and if you have time, could you make a tutorial how the CIA integrated the CGI Planes on 09/11.

[23luckyno]

but how did the editor make his leg kick the door O.o

[wishfulendeavors13]

You can also see a cut when he goes through the door.

[RevD09]

In addition to the mentioned proof of the video's edit, President Obama is left-handed. If he really kicked the door, it would've been with his LEFT foot rather than his right.

[sumshine6119]

@RevD09 Sometimes you can be right handed but left footed, or left handed and right footed. they don't always go hand in hand (no pun intended.)

[GUOYunfei1989]

cool

[SkyEFX2]

It's amazing the kind of shit you can do with programs these days.

[viconpro222]

Vãi Hà!! =))

[vtownhood]

don't tread on me

[Scarperguy]

The guy doesn't look like Obama - the cut is made through the neck - it's a body double with a head transplant

[Superaries2]

@Scarperguy you can see the head bobbing around slightly as he kicks the door

[Scarperguy]

@Superaries2 Yup, and the head erasing itself as he walks through the door :D

[omnipotentbeing]

@Superaries2 no you can't.

[Nikko2154]

¿y como se abrió la puerta en el video original?

how the door opened in the original video?

[jagarmck]

If he would actually do this in response to someone editing his vid... I would shit my pants laughing.

[beskal2000]

his head becomes smaller at 0:29

[sman112191]

haha everytime i see the original i think he is gonna kick the door

[ZhugoZ2]

how do you do the edeting of your video with the spotlite

[Wenonimus]

If you look carefully, it looks a bit cartoony when he kicks the door, nice funny remake XD

[norkkron]

Barack Obama didn't kicked the door. The video was been edited.

>Barack Obama didn't kicked the door

>didn't kicked

durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



[5StarsForYouu]

maybe the real one is where he kicks the door down.

[sakurastar2]

See he's the one who'll understands when the tides will swing \ So he's breaking down doors, never following

[gtabro1337]

obama is a... JEDI?!

[vieska33]

masking

[eragon2121]

How did they get the guy who's kicking the door to look identical to the real Obama?

[Thyunda]

@eragon2121 Notice he didn't even look at the camera. Just a lookalike, I s'pose

[MajicPictures]

@Thyunda it's not a look alike lol this is a basic compositing technique (ps this was done by NBC not some random guy). whoever made this video didn't look at the most obvious part. as obama is walking, watch how his blazer mysteriously grows on his neck covering more of the white shirt collar. obama's face is his real face. the only thing changed was the body.

[Thyunda]

@MajicPictures I meant when he turned. He got so much shorter, and his build totally changed. Obama is tall. The guy that kicked the door was built like a short person. That's why I was thinking it was a lookalike, switched when he turned away from the camera (when the flag changed)

[alienanxiety]

@MajicPictures exactly. the collar morph is the dead giveaway. once you see that, you'll also notice the whole body subtly shrinks a bit. It was an actor of similar build with Obama's head attached to track along with the body. You can also see how stiff and rigid the head remains even as he kicks the door. For even someone with rudimentary After Effects knowledge, this was a pretty easy, albiet brilliant, little trick.

[JAR449]

@eragon2121 Facial artist

[Milkshakman]

@eragon2121 They cut out the head of the original obama and tracked it over the head of whoever was acting it out. You can tell as its kinda jittery.

Yeah.. 8 month old comment. xD

[Cifyra]

@eragon2121

They edited obama's face on top of an actor wearing the same clothes.

[1peterkim123]

@eragon2121 Look at the head, it stays perfectly still and moves as if it was just a video effect with manycam.

[JoshRimer]

How did they do it though - did he actually kick the door at some point, or is it someone else's body?

[Ninkira]

More obvious would be the translation of his head!! The President's head disappears into thin air before he goes through the door :) So they kept the President's head during the more obvious slower part. Very cool use of editing!!

[stupidYOOTUBE]

i was like,.. hes black hes allowed to do that,.. lmao

[hexlhieA]

so who's really kicking? him or a look alike?

[Zyanox]

@hexlhieA watch the video =.=

[pwnageprata]

My mom: Clean your room!

My dad: Get a job!

Me: I appreciate the tenor of the conversations. I think it will actually yield results before the end of the year, and I look forward to continuing this dialog in the months ahead.

[eLfuTaChee]

@pwnageprata fake

[iWhiskerBiscuit]

Just look at 32 seconds, as he's walking through the door. You can tell a transition there as well

[enterthehydra]

also, you can see how his head's angle doesn't change at all during the kick. I don't even think they used a look-alike, I think they just superimposed his head

[pcs709]

also the split on the back of the jacket is diff obama split in the center of the jacket and the and the edited was on the sides of the jacket

[ThePivoter9]

Thats not the US flag ...............!!

[sethserigny]

@ThePivoter9 It's the Presidential Flag

[DiscipleKnight1010]

(You can see the transition of US flag. This is when the tow videos were put together.)

tow...

[TheYasmin2022]

i still don't get it lol!

[Gangstakitteh]

i dont find it that funny but rly good image hackers or w.e they r calld

[JQuile0881]

LOOK AT HIS SHIRT COLAR SHRINK AT 29 SECONDS......

[XMelmelcomX]

@JQuile0881 Good eye you got there.

[seahawkslakersfan24]

It's not fake Obama has the power not only to kick the door open but to change the star stripes. Thumbs Up!

[militar9598]

lmao



[MohanadKhuraishi]

come on we know its fake... its just for fun MAN

[MrFlyGuy120]

Who Cares If Its Fake.. Either Way Its Still Funny!

[realbynature66]

PBS is not gonna put something they don't approved. And remember there's a five second interval from when things happen as to when we see it or how do you think they can beep out the bad words on the broadcast. DUH!!!!

[SapphireBlaze9]

Thanks for the comparison and upload. It's a pretty good edit.

[RossLeyshon]

300 Quote?

THIS IS........AMERICA!

[Ebdan88]

How about He kicked the Door because he understands he has failled, and was angry, and then they made him to redo everything!!!?

Fake or not. It is him breaking the door!!!

[moormagic1]

@Ebdan88 I agree..and I think were the only two people who is thinking outside the box.

[deblasco]

you know what!? i would prefer him to kick the door :o)) it's more macho style :o))

[thebaconboy]

Where did this edit even come from?

[hben00]

@thebaconboy Oddly enough, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

[yonatan07]

Muy bueno jajaja

Practicamente no se nota xD

[93make]

dumt jornaliste

[TheNeonRabbit]

I'm not too happy with Obama either but I hate to see people falling for a doctored video. Thanks for giving me a link I can use as a reply when people send me the "Obama loses it" video.

[mredstriumph]

@TheNeonRabbit

Sure is easy 2 fall 4 video like this. What's scarey is that people have been deliberately fooled for nefarious purposes. Ex - to impugn the reputation of a popular political candidate before an election.

Tina Fey's "Monday Night Live" convincing portrayal of Sarah Palin comes to mind. Oops.. Did I say Monday NL performance? of "Saturday Night" Live which was shown primetime the day before the 2008 election? 90% of the populous STILL differentiate Fey from Palin

[TheSkull713]

Oh, I noticed the transition of the flag from :27-:28, alright. The only reason they-- I mean, you-- edited the video was to make President Obama cooler. Right? After all, he is the president of the free world, and he looks upon his cabinet to open the door for him. By the way, excellent video. Let me know when you edit a video from the end of one of George W. Bush's speeches. Thank you, and good night.

*leaves, kicks door open on way out*

[CelticReject]

I think the original video is even more strange. He managed to open the door using the power of thought!

[tqwerty80]

somebody else opened the door for him obviously. Dont forget he's the president!

[dounotica]

@CelticReject looooooooooooooooooooooooool

[CelticReject]

@dounotica ;-)

[DxxRxxB]

@CelticReject or it is possible that someone opened it for him O.0

[Chiron84]

@CelticReject He's a Jedi!

[eclipse245]

@CelticReject or somebody opened it for him...?

[CarasAmarillas94]

@CelticReject LOL ^^

[hd9xc1k2]

@CelticReject I think there's someone opening the door for him.

[AdnanAline]

@CelticReject Dude. almost someone opens the doors for president after conference. like they open his car doors. jeez. use more brain?

[davidearlsmith]

You did don't made a typo.  The caption was been were messed up tow bad!

[Badboyz9472]

[scottericlee]
