  • Notice at 1:00 the hanger Joe is holding and tapping with goes behind the other hangers.

  • @Eric10987654321 It does kind of look that way, but it is probably a video compression artifact. If you watch his original video in HD the hanger stays in front.

  • Impressive!

  • @ChristopherMast Thanks! I'm amazed you even found this old video. I figured with that cute girlfriend you were long gone from YouTube. :)

  • what's a matte....the way I originally suspected it was that he had the camera mobile on a tripod, and just set it down between instrumentals. then, he'd move to the next position, and just slice that pause out, which might cause some tracking errors that could be fixed via directly editing the frames (photoshop?). then, he'd just subsitute in music instead of using the cam (obviously, at some points, the cam's way too far to pick up an acoustic guitar)

  • @ablahblah54 No, no pauses. A matte places one image in another. Wikipedia has a good article (top google result for matte).

  • this is all wrong!!! MGM has clones for sure!

  • Great dissection. However, one thing that I noticed was that you mentioned that the matte of MGM was gone in the hallway when he's sitting and playing the guitar...he's supposed to be gone. I took it as he's only in one space at a time, however he's just there very quickly. I don't think he's supposed to have multiples of himself at one time. I don't think MGM was thinking cloned MGM's all through the vid.
