Re: Killer Whale Lands On Kayak : Proof It’s fake

A comparison of the original stock wildlife footage and the doctored footage used for Asian Poweraid sports “very real power” campaign. The advertising company was Wieden & Kennedy and the campaign won a Cannes lion advertising award.
Compositing software such as Adobe After Effects or Shake has been used to insert images of kayakers recorded in a pool or lake into existing wildlife footage of a leaping orca.
Wild orcas are too careful to do something as reckless as this.

    Yeah, you can cross Orcas off your list of kayaking threats definitely.
    Great whites are another matter like that chap that tried to paddle from Australia to NZ and was stalked by one to a short distance off the NZ coast.

    I’ve been on the ocean with mountains in the background and I’ve hiked mountain trails that lead to the ocean shore.

    You’re kidding right?
    Ever been to the ocean? It’s that big wet thing with land and sometimes mountains at the edges or in the middle of it.
    Have a look at pictures of Frederick Sound Alaska or Vancouver Island British Columbia.
    Even have a look at Hawaii.
    I know orcas aren’t stupid. It’s members of another species I’m worried about.

    What it proves is that the widely disseminated vid of the orca jumping on the kayak is Fake and was produced by Wieden Kennedy advertising agency for the powerade sports drink.
    No kayak was landed on by an orca!
    Many oceans have mountains on their shore.
    Those are actors speaking to a script in Korean.

  14. this proves nothing …
    this proves nothing nobody said orcas were stupid but orcas are wild animals and have the ability to jump on anything or any person and those people making the noise in the backround and others screaming seems real however what does seem fake is the mountain background cuz its the ocean

    (2/2) And this “Mississippi-Missouri River” is longer than the “Mississippi River,” from its source in Lake Itasca, MN to New Orleans, LA.

  16. (1/2) Actually true …
    (1/2) Actually true, in this sense. Where the Missouri flows into the Mississippi at St. Louis, it’s just an accident of naming, which of the two upstream branches got the same name as the single downstream branch, from there to New Orleans. If what we call the Missouri River, had the same name as what we call the Mississippi River from their confluence at St. Louis downstream to New Orleans, that river is, in fact, the longest in the U.S. Some sources name this the “Mississippi-Missouri River.”

    Lol. Yes it was an overreaction. Just tired of people thoughtlessly repeating what they hear without actually making any attempt to validate it. Wikipedia is fairly hard to troll, and you would be very unlucky to pick some false info from it unless you were looking at something ridiculously specific. Any people, places or media most likely will reject it within the hour,

    The orca is real, the kayakers are real, it’s just that they were never together in the same place, but added together in compositing software.
