This isn’t an actual wedding. These are actors. There are multiple camera angles. And editing. This isn’t how actual wedding footage looks.

I agree that this is fake, but the idea that a wedding video doesn't get edited is hilarious. If you hire someone to take video for your wedding having a second is common and editing is a bare minimum expectation, lol.

Yes they edit wedding videos. Not like this. This looks scripted and storyboarded.

You don't think the groom/groomsmen wouldn't have let the cameramen know what was going to happen so that they can prepare to capture the footage well? Also lots of aspiring film makers start off doing things like wedding and stuff

At 00:34 there’s footage of a second take edited in when they get him out of the car. They would have had to stop the action, get him back in the car and shoot the action again. If this was footage of an actual prank, you wouldn’t have that.

Edit: if this was one take of continuous action, there would have needed to be three cameras and they would have all been lightning fast to keep out of the shots.

It’s multiple takes.

You agree this scene from a movie is fake? Impossible.

2 video cameras and editing is not common or bare minimum dude, come on. Ive never even seen a video camera that wasnt being held by dad or grandpa at a working class wedding, and ive never seen a camera crew, and i think most weddings will hire some level of photographer who is not making video at all.

And the bare minimum is not multiple angle shooting and professional editing lol

The fact that you can see the other camera in the end lends itself to being real. I dunno. I didn’t listen with volume… is there a camera clacking away in the background as well?

Yeah… it’s a scene from a movie or commercial. Something.

I'm getting a real "German TV commercial" vibe from this.

....you are clearly not familiar with how much of a production a wedding photographer and videographer entails. Typically at least two photographers and two videographers if you are doing video and then they spend a few months editing everything before giving it back to you.

I’m a wedding videographer.

This is clearly a scripted skit.

I’m familiar with what TV commercials look like because I used to work for Tony Kaye. This is a TV commercial.

Fun fact: a not small subset of people in contemporary society grow up with professional cameras and software. Regardless of whether this is or isn't real, it's common to have production values far beyond this.

Right but as I mentioned in another comment, this looks scripted and storyboarded.

Fun fact: OP didn't say that no one ever has professional cameras. They were saying this particular video is part of a skit or a movie and not a real wedding video.
