These are well known to be loving recreations based on original photos using software. No one is trying to fool you. Just enjoy the fantasy that it may have been like this.
This is most likely a fraud. You never see the dancer land his leaps. He might be jumping on a trampoline, for all we know. Certainly not Nijinsky: Nijinsky was short and thick-set unlike this fellow.
Have looked at all your V.N. clips many times trying to decide whether this is a shamless fraud on the public. This clip convinced me that it is. The so-called Nijinsky here is too tall and sleek. Nijinsky was short, stocky, powerfully built. Picture quality for all, is too "new" to be from 1910-12. Why only show 9 to 14 secs of clips at a time? Sorry folks, there is maybe only one known video in the world of V.N. in private hands and this "ain't " it! Petrouchka is really crying now.

Reminds one of the photos of dancing fairies that were so entrancing to Conan Doyle.

I agree w/ some of the other comments. I "bought" the first one. This is totally NOT the real deal. For shame.

Re source for "maybe one known video of V.N". "Vaslav Nijinsky, A Leap into Madness" by Peter Otswald, published by
Carol Publishing Group N.Y. 1991, page 139. Read and be informed instead of believing this atrocious fraud.
