“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in “Send to YouTube” button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.”
One of these good examples of failed privacy, have fun…
How is this an example of failed privacy?
YouTube is a video sharing site. People pushed a button to share their videos. They wanted people to see these.
These videos aren’t much different than what you find on Facebook or Instagram today, it’s just that over the past decade people have gotten better at naming and categorizing what they post.
The real quirk here is that the app made it way too easy to upload the default filenames, so we can now search for them specifically like a little time capsule.
Holy removed I got this one:
I’m trying to work out if it’s real or not. It’s from 2013, so I guess VFX wasn’t so great back then, but then… where? and when? and why?
Edit: I’ve been duped by mediocre graphics, don’t worry I’m writing my will as we speak.
I remember this app.
It was an app called “Action Movie” by the Bad Robot studios people. It overlaid effects on top of what you recorded with the camera and this was one of the free effects.
It’s 100% fake because nothing happens to the other cars. They don’t explode out of the way, they don’t anything. They all just sit there.
This is the removedtiest, fakest VFX I’ve ever seen.
I wouldn’t go that far, but yes. It’s less than optimal.
If you pause it in the middle, you can see the explosion is clearly a clip laid over the car video.
If you pause it, it’s much clearer that it’s just been overlayed onto the video.
Oh yeah. I guess I was just sold by the tyre trails coming off the black car. It’s a nice touch.
Why would this be convincing? Do cars just start doing burnouts when they’re near explosions?
I thought it was pushed away by the explosion and the trails were powder mixed with air coming off the tyres or something. Kill me?
This is the equivalent of buying an old camcorder at the thrift store and finding some random family’s tape still in it of some kid’s birthday party from 1994.
Found a really funny one with two kids doing a skit about a drink in their garden, then an Helicopter crashes in their yard
Edit: this is a montage and the helicopter is part of the skit but unexpected turn of events
Why are you telling us and not showing us?
I didn’t know how to link to the exact video :(
Found a funny one of an Eastern European kid in blue shorts spinning himself around to make himself dizzy. I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid.
Then YouTube started blocking the videos because it thought I was a bot:/
Why is IMG_0036 a lot of golf?
