regarding the reflections, they could have just filmed the monitors when they were shut off leaving them all black to see clear reflections. Then after tracking and positioning the video in post they could have put the footage of the black screen with reflections they filmed over the tracked on footage and set the overlay mode to screen to overlay just the reflections and get rid of the black color!
wtf! r u dumb? sure this video is fake! they didn`t hack into the screens, its arranged with the company who does this commercials on those screens! some kind of advertismen maybe...idk. but how can u say its not fake? at first u say they don`t use that device on the phone and then u say the video is real? and the guy is on one of the screens and he is not even close and thats cause of the delays...
@KotzeKotze He's saying that it wasn't edited on a computer and that the images actually were on the screens. You clearly are either ADD and were not paying attention to the video at all, or are mentally handicapped, and should not be commenting on YouTube.
@jeremiahjw i would like to mention you one major FAIL here....
THE VIDEO SHOULD BE ROTATE!!!! the phone wile filming was 90degree rotate on the left.....well that means whichever monitor he hacked that should be also rotate! total fake! every single monitor he "hacked" was "correct" but the video output wasn't 9:16 ratio!!
@jeremiahjw I'll second that. I've been using after effects for over ten years and I could track and do those reflections pretty easy. If you don't have another frame you can take the reflection from, you add some random bright footage in overlay mode to marry your composited footage to the screen.
@geek935 hahah, i agree with you... have not dont mutch witch after effects but im getting there (check my channel out ;D if u wonna se som other cool stuff ) but i could esely do that haha.. he does not know shiit :P
limitless probobly paid the people who own those digital billboards to show that video.
im prety sure that the iphone WAS in fact showing the same thing at the same time, and was sending to the billboard, but still... it was a good idea, and a good show. so props to whoever made this video.
@cmathew4 i think you can stick phono leads in those audio jacks in the old iphones and hook it to your tv - it's an extended type, so you can get video - dunno what iphone he was using - but the older type for video is a 4 pin headphone plug - not so easy to debunk.
Think about, is it worth it working hours and hours (thus, paying the employees more) just to make the effects right, or it's easier to buy that ad space for a few seconds? Besides, the movie distributor (for Limitless) can afford showing the trailer for a few minutes, so why can't they show that little "hack" for a few seconds?
Oh, just because you found something that suggest it is fake, that's just one reason, and can be explained. The guy got tons of reasons, better than yours.
IMHO it's simplier than it looks. There is another movie "my limitless times square hack - how i did it (NZT) " and the only difference between it and oryginal movie is that "how i did it" is longer few seconds and that asian guy say clearly "NZT" and show something for few seconds. They probably want ppl to google about it. Movies on screens aren't fake, they was displayed for real and placed on screen in right moment with some editor, that's why hack effect is pretty convincing.
this is just creepy, people just hacking into things? whats next? hacking into your computers so they can take pictures as you do things with out noticing?
I still don't really know if it is a fake or not. The reflection is actually pretty easy to do: You just have to record the screen once it's off, so it's black and you just have to overlay it on the vid' to keep all the highlights (like reflections). But I don't reject that it could be true :)
I believe it might be possible to do someday because Cell Phone interference is able to disrupt CRT monitors, and Iv'e seen similar interference from certain devices affecting lcds.
I don't see how this is supposed to be an advertisement for the movie limitless. Too many people would be immersed in the idea of this neat trick instead of a faggot movie. In that case this should be an advertisement for Starbucks, the Marriot hotel, Levi's, Memphis, Roxy, CNN, and Home Front as well.
@Gengar10000000000 The people that made it said it's an advertisement for Limitless, that's why it's suppose to be an advertisement for Limitless. ;-)
@jeremiahjw It was poorly done. As for the hack, it's fake as fuck. I don't see why this dick head wrote on his video "Not fake" making me think he was going to explain how this wasn't an advertisement for limitless and how it was really a video about hacking digital screens.
@Gengar10000000000 he mentions the pill of whatever fantasy substance they give the main character in the movie limitless, in the beginning of the video.
@Gengar10000000000 well, he means real as in 'not' green screen or cgi, the company just rented the screens. personally i would call that fake, since it's trying to trick dumb people into thinking it's a video about hacking, instead of just another stupid ad. But to get back on point, the asian guy holds up a pill in the beginning (lol, call the feds) and it's fictionally the same drug as in the movie.
@Gengar10000000000 what i take offense to are all the people re-hosting this ad on their accounts, are they such whores that they'll copy anything? even if it's just a commercial?
i dont think the pill called DZT which he is taking made him that smart that he could make tht transmitter as DZT pretty much causes psychosis,paralysis and ultimately death
What I got from this video was that to handle the reflections you see in the times square hack video, you'd need to do one of two things: 1) actually show the footage on the TV (making this seem more "real") or 2) spend a ridiculous amount of money on video editing to strip out the reflections as an overlay, replace the original screen area with your ow displaying the hacked video, then place the reflections overlay on top of your video. He convinced me it was option 1).
so you're saying they took the footage and edited the video in afterwards? or that they actually got the video to be projected from the screens and not hacked? cuz the reflections are on the case (or screen) around the TVs... the reflections have nothing to do with the video being on the screeen (hacked or not) they have to do with what lights are really being reflected onto that glass.
@sleepyhead61 What he's saying is that the video footage was actually being shown on the screens, just not via being hacked in to, they likely paid for that footage to be shown on the screens for their viral ad.
@alabamafanforever yeah but im saying that the reflections (at least the way he's explaining it...to me) doesnt make any difference whether it was hacked or not... cuz reflections dont have to do with the video they have to do with the glass and the lights in the city....
i think this is just a cool way to promote the new movie limitless :p (if you see their second vid) youtube video's who get viral are excellent to promote things, such as movies. But it realy still stays an cool video !

reflections are easy, record from it and cut out a little rectangle and fit it, then make the birghtness funny and turn optacity down. But still, its an advert FOR A MOVIE. (obviously) so they probably have some money. I thought it was stupid but im going to go watch it now
its a promo for the movie limitless, but you are on your stuff. It is fake, as in that device doesn't do shit. And it is real, as in paramount pictures payed for the time square add time.
They could have bought it but they would have to get the timing just right. Having reflections line up should not be that hard if aftereffects is like photoshop since they are both from adobe I don't see why aftereffects would not have multiple layers like photoshop. Single out the reflection and underlay the video. Adjust the opacity and done. Would be a lot of work but so would getting the timing right for the video (or they could just use fx on the iphone screen instead).
is this the movie where, the guy from the hangover is a writer then meets his ex brother in law who gives him a pill then he gets hooked and the brother in law dies, then he finds out there are side-affects, he gets rich but if he doesn't take anymore NZT he'll die, and at the end he runs for governer of new york but robert dinero comes and tells him that he shut down his like scientists making more, so blackmails him, but hangover dude already made the drug without sideaffects? OR AM I WRONG

It's part of a viral ad campaign by the filmmakers of Limitless, it's simply a ninja ad, makes you think it's just another YT video but it's really an ad. An impressive ad nonetheless lol. (Watch the how they did it video and you'll see why it's a promotion for Limitless.) Moral of the story? Ad campaigners are becoming trickier and trickier kiddos ;)
@darthman4 he did explain in the video.....can't you listen to words? He's speaking English. He's not using techno-speak....whats not to understand?! Seems pretty strait forward to me.
@darthman4 No prob....I was a bit of an A-hole (im like that on Youtube for some reason). The way I understood it...without watching the whole thing again. Is that he is saying that it is not a Computer Effect, such as super-imposing the image...but it is actually physically on the monitors in question....Still he believes it is a hoax, for various reasons that he points out. He was right too! It turned out to be a viral ad campaign for a movie called "Limitless" (I think thats the title)
The more I watch this the more I'm inclined to come to the same conclusion: that they probably rented a few minutes of time on these monitors. I still think there was probably some compositing for the iPhone versions of the videos. It would have been far easier to add that portion of the video in post than it would be to try and time everything perfectly on location.
If it was real, have you heard? A simple advertisement caused a Cyber Terrorism case. If that was real, you'll see that Asian guy in the news behind bars.
You do realize that all of that compositing and tracking is relatively trivial to a triple A studio nowadays right? Yes, even the reflections and glare. The quality of the effect doesn't necessarily denote that it was done at filming (although, it certainly could be). It can be done relatively simply using a combination of 3D software and post production editing. Just sayin..
I honestly dont think they were Laughing at the screen. I think they were laughing at the Short Asian guy holding a baloon in time square, i mean if i were there at that time i would have been laughing at the 4,8" asain guy too! xD That and if it were real then why did he not say hey dude check this out to a random person walking down the sidewalk and say look what i can do. FAKE!
I really don't understand why this would make people more inclined to good see the movie limitless i didn't even notice the trailer playing in the background
i think its a fake, mainly because, if he "hacked" into something like a time square screen, wouldnt he get in alot of trouble with the authorities, possibly like a terrorist threat hacking into a screen to get his message out (mainly because he's asian)
This is stupid. You could 100% make all that with Adobe After Effects. Everything you pointed out that "couldn't be done" can be done. Not easily but who's to say they didn't take months to create this. I work with After Effects for a living and I can tell you this could all be recreated!

@djdoublea He didn't say that it can't be done, Just that it would be really hard. And how good it is would rival most Hollywood effects. Also he said that it would be around the same cost to just pay the people that own the billboards to put up their video then to make the after effects editing. Would save a lot of time in the end as well.
Would be cool if the billboard hacking was real though.
@djcalihood That's not an obsession. This is knowledge about a viral marketing ad he projected to the youtube community because of how blatantly retarded the majority of it is. You're gonna claim he has no life, but you took the time to watch the video and then bitch at him for it?
@spreepin The author of the video already said it's fake, and I knew that. I was saying the part that is real is the playback on the monitors. It isn't being hacked, but it is being played back, not an FX.
@jeremiahjw you're most probably right about your conclusions but the reasons don't satisfy me. Regarding the reflections, image they were "planted" before the image changed. Then the issue about being the same all around doesn't make much sense.
One more thing about this "analysis" of yours ... are you really versed in this type of hacking or is it just an empirical explanation coming from a curious guy ?
This IS fake because all those tv's are not recieving a wireles video feed they use cables for that. Also to overide an existing wireles signal would require more energy but it's so tiny that 'overrider thingy' that it couldn't possible generate enough power to do this. Conclusion the commercial company bought time for usage of those screens to. Everybody that believes this is possible is an idiot
@NeutralCountry Yes, everybody who doesn't know every exact detail about everything is clearly an idiot. No, wait...anybody who thinks that everybody who doesn't know everything about everything is an idiot...is an idiot.

i agree with you but just sayin that doin a reflection effect isn't tht hard.
all you do is (in Adobe After Effects):
1.Copy the footage that you want to be reflected
2.Tint the footage to the color of the surface its goin be on (color correction | tint)
3. Crop and rotate the image so it matches the area you want reflected
4.Lower opacity untill it looks like it's being slightly reflected on the surface.
i might do tht effect on my channel. it does take some time tho, but not too much.

It's part of a viral ad campaign by the filmmakers of Limitless, it's simply a ninja ad, makes you think it's just another YT video but it's really an ad. An impressive ad nonetheless lol. (Watch the how they did it video and you'll see why it's a promotion for Limitless.) Moral of the story? Ad campaigners are becoming trickier and trickier kiddos ;)

darthman4 11 months ago
@darthman4 No prob....I was a bit of an A-hole (im like that on Youtube for some reason). The way I understood it...without watching the whole thing again. Is that he is saying that it is not a Computer Effect, such as super-imposing the image...but it is actually physically on the monitors in question....Still he believes it is a hoax, for various reasons that he points out. He was right too! It turned out to be a viral ad campaign for a movie called "Limitless" (I think thats the title)

The more I watch this the more I'm inclined to come to the same conclusion: that they probably rented a few minutes of time on these monitors. I still think there was probably some compositing for the iPhone versions of the videos. It would have been far easier to add that portion of the video in post than it would be to try and time everything perfectly on location.
DemiousStudios 11 months ago
If it was real, have you heard? A simple advertisement caused a Cyber Terrorism case. If that was real, you'll see that Asian guy in the news behind bars.
danimatortae 11 months ago
You do realize that all of that compositing and tracking is relatively trivial to a triple A studio nowadays right? Yes, even the reflections and glare. The quality of the effect doesn't necessarily denote that it was done at filming (although, it certainly could be). It can be done relatively simply using a combination of 3D software and post production editing. Just sayin..

I honestly dont think they were Laughing at the screen. I think they were laughing at the Short Asian guy holding a baloon in time square, i mean if i were there at that time i would have been laughing at the 4,8" asain guy too! xD That and if it were real then why did he not say hey dude check this out to a random person walking down the sidewalk and say look what i can do. FAKE!

This is stupid. You could 100% make all that with Adobe After Effects. Everything you pointed out that "couldn't be done" can be done. Not easily but who's to say they didn't take months to create this. I work with After Effects for a living and I can tell you this could all be recreated!

@djdoublea He didn't say that it can't be done, Just that it would be really hard. And how good it is would rival most Hollywood effects. Also he said that it would be around the same cost to just pay the people that own the billboards to put up their video then to make the after effects editing. Would save a lot of time in the end as well.
Would be cool if the billboard hacking was real though.

spreepin 11 months ago
@jeremiahjw you're most probably right about your conclusions but the reasons don't satisfy me. Regarding the reflections, image they were "planted" before the image changed. Then the issue about being the same all around doesn't make much sense.
One more thing about this "analysis" of yours ... are you really versed in this type of hacking or is it just an empirical explanation coming from a curious guy ?
MrCroky123 11 months ago
This IS fake because all those tv's are not recieving a wireles video feed they use cables for that. Also to overide an existing wireles signal would require more energy but it's so tiny that 'overrider thingy' that it couldn't possible generate enough power to do this. Conclusion the commercial company bought time for usage of those screens to. Everybody that believes this is possible is an idiot
