I'd say fake simply because some of those tricks are just so amazing but if it is real then it's even more amazing

[MattR]

Actually I would say mostly real (although no doubt filmed a few times to get it right) because the real plays during the game are often done on a timing pattern and time and time again you see the quarterback put the ball on the money as the receiver turns around to catch the ball.

I'm just amazed by the whole thing, no idea whether it's real or fake. The three things that seem like they could be deemed fake the most are:

1) Guy in orange blindfolded, catching the balls, because they're at different heights and positions when they approach him. He has to move to catch one of them.

2) Guy striking the clock/bell and making it chime, 3 times in a row

3) Guy kicking the ball into the stacked barrels

Nearly all fake i'd say

If it's faked, how is it faked? All looks pretty un-fakeable when you see the entire actions.

As far as I'm concerned that one must have been fake or must have taken days judging by the number of easy passes Braylon Edwards dropped during last season

If it's faked, how is it faked? All looks pretty un-fakeable when you see the entire actions.A lot of the time the ball either leaves the camera shot or the result isn't filmed in sufficient detail for the verification. The kickers, for example. You see the ball heading towards the upright but you don't see, only hear, it hit it. Similarly some you see the ball be thrown/kicked up out of shot then caught amazingly - but was it the same ball?

So does the Dark Knight, or King Kong, or any other Hollywood movie full of CGI effects... doesn't mean there really is a 50 foot gorilla climbing the Empire State building or a guy in a rubber suit and a cape leaping around Gotham. Remember this is an advert, with the ultimate goal of trying to sell you something so the more convincing they make it look, the more likely you are to believe in it and buy the product. It's all very impressive and cleverly done trickery though. :wink

I was going to say the same thing that Paul said.. they must all be fake judged on most of those players performances last season!
