Video of the FedEx guy throwing the monitor was faked

There's a chance I could be wrong, but after watching it a lot I started to get the feeling the famous sensational video of the FedEx worker throwing the package over the wall was faked. So just for fun I decided to show how easy it would have been to fake it, and I started by adding the FedEx logo to a bunch of white trucks in Photoshop. It took about 45 seconds to do each one, I'm not exaggerating.

I don't think it's a big conspiracy theory or anything, but that video was put up a week before Christmas, exactly when FedEx's competitors would have the most to gain from a simple viral video like that one.

By the way, thanks to everyone who's watched and given thoughtful feedback. My video must hold some kind of Youtube record for "most views without any idiotic or disgraceful comments." Thanks again!

How about you try looking at the back door of the FedEx van, with your method it is not possible. Looks legit to me.

@MrSypherin You could be right, it could be legit, but I have strong doubts. I just spent two months digitally adding blood to a dog's fur as it moves around! After doing that, I can tell you that adding a graphic to a door swinging open and closed would be VERY easy. Ideally I would have actually shot video of a van with its doors opening and closing, but I just don't have time.

Ok now try and fake the letters on his jacket dumbass

[Shakemouthdirector]

@hockeyking61396 Check out a plugin for After Effects called Mocha--that will show you how you can do it fairly easily--but like I said in the video, it wouldn't be too hard to acquire or replicate the uniform--especially if you're a viral advertising firm hired by UPS's marketing agency, for example.

Are U stupid? U just grabed a picture and put some text on it. How is it similar to a sec cammera capturing a movie? Is that that simple too? sr f my english ... ha ha

[Shakemouthdirector]

@cabmanxxx Putting the graphic on a moving image would also be very simple. I would just do it in After Effects and match the grain of the original video if necessary. Note that in the original video, though, the truck doesn't move at all.

[Shakemouthdirector]

@MsH1h1h1h1 Not at all. I do special FX for a living, so I have specific knowledge about how to fake a video like this that I don't expect everyone else to have. I don't think anyone's stupid for not seeing the clues that it might be fake. If you were an auto mechanic, would you think I was stupid for not being able to tell what was wrong with an engine?

[THEVampMania]

I believe it was real. My fedEx guy throws my packages if I dont notice the truck before he gets to my door. they are fucking assholes

The CEO of FedEx was on NBC tonight, he confirmed the story and it was confirmed also that the delivery person lost his job over the incident. Nice photoshop though!
