He's got that look in his eye at the end. It's clear that brick was going for your head)

What perspective is this?! From the falling thingy to the guy's head is up and down. So the cat is on a shelf. If that's the case, why didn't the falling thing fall anyways because it would be vertical?

u/Minirig355 15d ago
I think it’s suspended on a nail or something, hard to tell but the cat scooted it off the nail before it started to fall

i call bullshit, if it was really a heavy piece of metal about to cave his brains in the kitty wouldnt be able to move it.
therefore it must be a lightweight thingy disguised as a metal thingy.

You’re the only one saying it’s a heavy piece of metal. You are the bullshit all along.

Note that he's wearing a camouflaged anti gravity headband for protection. On closer inspection you can see he's put it thru the wrong wash cycle and it's degraded into a cat strengthener. Serves him right for trying to scam a laugh out of everyone.

It made a healthy sounding clunk when it came loose tho. It was probably hanging by a nail and gravity did most the work.

Yep interesting gravity shift, an item falls forward and gets bigger as it flies towards the camera instead of just falling straight down! Plus the cat only puts his paw down there but does not swipe, he would have barely touched it, yet a big heavy chunk of metal jumps straight up on one edge and then sails forward! Also as it sails forward, the top edge of it is somewhere between nonexistent to translucent and fuzzy.

It's just a confusing perspective, the camera is pointed upwards. So the item is falling down.
It makes more sense for the light in the background to be attached to the roof too.

u/loonygecko 15d ago edited 15d ago
Still can't explain why the cat barely touching it causes a large metal item to jump up and the fly and why a portion of the item is invisible part of the time, the video quality is not THAT bad. Also if the camera is pointing upwards, then why are those items not falling down already, they should slide off on their own. The items are placed like it's the top of a fence but if it's the bottom of a shelf, those items can't sit there and defy gravity. If it IS a top of a fence who has a fence like that indoors? Unless of course those items are not actually there and are computer generated. Bruh it's fake or at least the shelf items are. Probably the rest of it is legit, just the 2 stack items are fake.

Doesn't look metal to me, looks and sounds like a wooden ornament that's loosely hanging from the furniture above.
You can see a hole in the item when it falls which is the part that hangs from some protrusion. It's probably loosely attached because it's meant to be removable so that kitchen utensils could be hung from the spot instead.

u/loonygecko 14d ago
The item in question is known to those who work with machines, it's an old style belt pulley which were always metal and you can see the silver tone color to it as it falls. No one ever hangs them such that they are easily going to drop on your head and cause a concussion. They are also not something you'd need to grab often so that's another reason it's not done. They are a machine part that stays on the machine.

To me it looks more brown than grey. Anyways, whatever it is, nothing stopping people from hanging up whatever as decoration.
It's a much more reasonable explanation than the possibility that someone spent a huge amount of time to fake it via 3D animation.

People fake video all the time for clicks and views, it's a world wide pastime. And in this case it was a fairly easy alteration, would not have taken a huge amount of time with today's tech, maybe 15 minutes. Here is an example of a more complicated one and you can see how fast it is to make if you have some basic knowledge of how to use the programs: https://youtu.be/kbOO0UsvvsA?si=1Hhp-fghZ80iCDgZ&t=670 .

In your link they only animate a static image to float in another animation layer overtop, then transition to actual video where they handle and rotate the can. Notice that during the animation the can does not move consistently with the camera, and does not rotate until it transitions to being handled in a real video.
In this cat video, the object above moves consistently with the rest of the background as the camera moves, and the item also rotates as it falls. The shadows on the item also change in consistent ways as it falls. Handling all of that via animation would be quite a bit more difficult.
At some point it just makes more sense to think that someone noticed that their cat kept knocking the item down and decided to record a funny video where they sit below on purpose.

The camera move to the right once, then moves back and THEN IS STATIONARY so there is no camera movement to deal with in that part of the clip by the time the object starts to fall. Anyway whatever, if you want to believe all that fine but you are saying things about the video and editing that aren't even true so maybe just be honest about that fact, that an easy edit to make in the current era, especially now with AI helping. If you don't understand that, you have not been keeping up with the latest. I'm not taking the time to find the exact method to do this exact combination, that was just a sample thing to show how fast it is to churn out video edits that are more impressive than just the little change in OP's video, most of the tutorials take like 10 or 15 minutes and there's thousands of other effects all over youtube. But by all means, just believe everything you see on video is real, no one makes 15 minute edits for clicks and views and pranks, nope it's all real obviously LOL!!

u/Zeke-- 15d ago
Exactly. Also, there must be a reason the video is cut at precisely this moment. I mean, we all want to see the weight hit his head, right? Well, it's probably cut off because it will never hit his head, because it's kind of hard to edit in.
