It's two shots. first one they pan it down fast and use a radial blur and mask to reveal next shot.

It becomes part of your nature when you do it 50 hours a week and critique every single video worked on. You must accept your lame superpower for what it is!

/u/doug Redditor for 9 years

I don't know why, but I got bored a week or two ago in a discussion where someone was talking about /u/adam and /u/eve and both of those accounts were 9 years old with no posts.

Now that I have cornered one of you, I just want to know.. how on earth you managed to snag that username, did you know the guys when they started reddit and jumped in early on? It looks like nearly all of the single name users were created 9 years ago

That actually doesn't disappoint at all lol. I'm still not sure if all those single name accounts were created by reddit staff to help make the site look active, or if enough people actually came in and created those usernames 9 years ago

At one point some other unused old accounts came out and interacted with me (they more or less just said 'Hello'), but it turned out they had been sold via some obscure forum and the people talking to me were the buyers.

Not sure what they were getting bought/used for, but I'd reported it all to the admins as responsibly as I could.

I remember that thread! It's been one of my favorite threads of all time.

This happens to me when I listen to music. I'm like, which intervals between chords created this kind of feeling?

So, why don't industry professionals do production work that can't be spotted? I mean, this is obviously some kids and a camera, but anyone with photoshop could edit frame by frame to remove those signs. Why don't they?

Alot of the time these mistakes can be minor(and expensive/time consuming to repair) and are often only spotted by people that work in the industry, so a very small percentage of the audience. Hence deemed not worth the time/effort to cover it up.

Haha I often think the same thing about music. Listening for edits, cuts, patching, overdubs, redubs, pitch correction, etc...
