Hi there, since the previous thread was closed (I was second to the last to post there LOLz, it was a debunking post), I shall migrate my debunking post here (debunking video#4)
-------
Gotcha! Hoax!
Debunking video#4:
But before that, please bear with me as I introduce a quick background on digital cameras and the video they come up with:
(Some quick credentials first: I'm not just an armchair philosopher lolz. I used to be a cameraman, a video editor, and other stuff related to postprod, and I'm currently a producer, with some CGI background as I have worked on several CGI projects in both producing and hands-on capacities, solving and troubleshooting problems on a variety of levels):
Here goes:
Technical background (important):
There are 2 ways a camera can capture moving images (a sequence of still frames):
"Interlaced" capture - each captured frame is a actually made up of 2 separate alternating fields each captured at a slightly different slice of time. In postprod, this creates "combing" effect (where the 2 interlaced fields reveal themselves especially for objects or scenes captured while in motion).
"Progressive" capture - each captured frame is a whole frame. But there are 2 types of shutter variants:
"Rolling Shutter" - each frame is captured one line at a time.
Observable artifact #1: creates wobbly deformation of objects or scenes with respect to the orientation of the image sensor (either horizontal or vertical). Common weakness of cameraphones and DSLRs.
Observable artifact #2: external light flashes captured by the camera appear cut off within a single frame (when the duration of the flash is shorter than the time it takes to expose each frame)
"Universal Shutter" - all pixels (and therefore all lines) of each frame are captured all at the same time.
Observable artifact: no wobble, but creates simple motion blur for moving objects or scenes, regardless of image sensor orientation.
VIDEO#4 Debunk Explanation
1. A digital camera can only take a shot either in progressive or interlaced mode, but not both at the same time.

2. This sequence of frames from Video#4 show both interlacing artifacts and motion blur artifacts (supposedly due to quick motion), IN THE SAME FOOTAGE! This can't happen in reality, because the camera is either shooting in interlaced, or shooting in progressive, but NOT BOTH. Either everything that's revealing in the clip reveals interlacing, or progressive - not both.
3. So Video#4 is tampered with in the following sense:
a. The background footage was shot in interlaced mode as most consumer camcorders do
b. The CGI orb was composited into the interlaced background as a progressive image (in fact, the project settings is done in progressive mode - it can't be done any other way unless you know the "nuts and bolts" of your comp system (many thanks to Pinke's U2U for explaining to me how to do that)
c. The resulting final video is exported in progressive frames
d. Video comes out with a mixture of progressive and interlacing artifacts, which no camera can do, and it wouldn't make sense for a camera to do so.
e. Ergo, HOAX
I shall also debunk Video#2 :-) on a later post.
Thats pretty weak evidence. Please come up with something concrete.

This report states that the subjective personal pronouns contained in these messages (we-it-I) are all inclusive and related to specific geographical points on our Earth.
Not sure what to make of this??

So does that mean that you are totally unable to debunk video 2?

Some fun facts:
- Eligael posted some paranormal videos on Facebook way before this incident, especially a January 2010 video about aliens.
- Eligael recently became friends on Facebook with 3 names that appear in the movie: Yuli, Dor, Michael.
- The 3 of them are 12th graders in Nes Tziona (outside Jerusalem), and go to Ben Gurion High School where they 'major' in Communications (usually includes filmmaking).
- Here is an end-of-semester movie from the 2010 school year, and the photographer is listed as the same Dor who drives the car and then films the incident.
- Michael wrote on Eligael's youtube page 4 days ago saying they need to get in touch.
I'm not posting any FB links in order to respect their privacy, but you can easily do the same research.

HI Paradign2012.
Honestly I don't expect everyone to immediately grasp the fundamental relevance of the distinction between interlaced and progressive frames, and how it can be used as definite telltale signs of tampering and therefore intention.
After presenting some background, evidence, and some reasoning, the best I can do is ask you (and whoever is interested at all) take your time to absorb even just a bit of it, take it slow, no rush.edit on 3-2-2011 by laymanskeptic because: (no reason given)

Just because some videos are unexplainable does immediately make ALL ufo videos unexplainable. I've seen some videos which cant be dismissed no matter how close of a microscope is used. But this isn't one of them. Doesn't mean videos of UFOs aren't real, just this one isn't.

Mr. Mask, first i would like to say thank you for your efforts reviewing the case and making such a detailed description..
And after reading it i also want to say that I have much respect for the way you posted it.. At this point I would like to withdraw my statement of calling you arrogant. I do apologize for my judgment...
Thanks ATS Staff for bringing this thread back..
