Looked pretty real to me. Well done kids.

[–]aggrotater 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think the kids made it. It was part of some german show... If you have worked with video composition it's pretty simple to tell how it's made. 2 clips: Clip 1 - kid 1 pulls cloth, nothing is on the table, kid 2 falls to the ground, kid 1 runs out of frame. Clip 2 - Wall is pushed out of frame to fall onto table which has no cloth but a stack breakable items. Combine Clip 1 with Clip 2 using magic (or masks in a software like After Effects) and there you go!

[–]TwoRolls 2 points3 points ago

There's also the falling kid tucking his arms in as he prepares for the fall. No one does that when falling unexpectedly.

[–]laurenth 2 points3 points ago

Unless you've been just hit in the nuts as it appear to be the case.

[–]NedryOS 0 points1 point ago

For some reason it just looks to me as if he is reacting before the hit.

The bookshelves are real. The floor is fake, you can see him slide into the floor as the shelves fall.

[–]Punkndrublic 1 point2 points ago

IIRC their mother helps them/supports them making videos like this.

Which is awesome.

I feel the same way about jokes and people who cry about reposts.

"Dude, I've heard that joke before, what the fuck is wrong with you!? You think you can just get away with telling jokes that you didn't make!?"

You sure that one kid under 16 tons of books and TV and shelf still alive?

[–]Jaybo06 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

200 lb Bookshelf

60 lb TV

100 lbs of other stuff

__

360 lbs != 32000 lbs.

Now for your question of if the kid is still alive?

Fuck if I know...

You can tell how he was holding his arms in that he was taught how to fall.

You can see the little kid get knocked out instantly as the tablecloth hits him.

[–]MikePalecek 0 points1 point ago

I think he gets sacked by the other kids hand swinging back.

[–]zawpi 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You can see the kid preparing for the hit, then getting into place so he doesn't get hurt.

[–]fussydutchman 0 points1 point ago

Similar thing ACTUALLY happened to me when I was 4. I started climbing a book case and made it about half way up until it started to fall. Fell right on top of me. My brother who was 7 at that time, ran screaming to my parents saying I was "kilt". Luckily I wasn't injured at all.

[–]Xervicx 0 points1 point ago

Obviously staged, by the way the kid who falls, well... falls. He hits the the entertainment center rather lightly, and then falls as if he was knocked unconscious or paralyzed by the event. Still, apart from that it was rather well done

[–]amiger 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

its from a german comercial or tv show... saw it here.. cant recall what exactly but knowing this really decreases the fun for me.

[–]chbay 0 points1 point ago

[–]djloreddit 0 points1 point ago

yeah, kinda wish the little one would commit and take the hit to the nads like a man. he is bracing for it so it ruins it

[–]EnysAtSea 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hope so.... ahh but it's not because junior there covered his nads before taking the hit.

[–]stahlgrau 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He moves back before he was struck. Also doesn't brace himself and faints. Totally fake.

[–]hawkdude61 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I like to think that they intended to have the kid be hit and faint, but that's it. Like they were staging something, but then something a whole lot worse happened.

[–]Excalibur32 0 points1 point ago

Why would you hope that this is real? That's messed up.

[–]TheDoktorIsIn -1 points0 points ago

My mother saw this on the news (yeah, it was on the news, wasn't even Fox News) and she started telling me about it. I started laughing because it was hilarious, and she got super pissed because she thought the kid died or was seriously hurt. I tried to explain to her that it was staged, but she didn't believe me.

[–]lenartlenart -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, the whole time I hoped it was fake. The kid could suffer some serious injury.

[–]rwingvr6 -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You can clearly tell the little one turns into a dummy right before he falls down.

[–]Bixby66 -5 points-4 points ago

I agree. Dead kids are great...

[–]apokatastasis -1 points0 points ago

[–]vinfx -1 points0 points ago

Fake aside, children actually have died from TVs falling on top of them.

By the way, the "TV" in the GIF is actually a cardboard demo box they use in stores. It has a photo of a TV printed on front. That's why the TV pulls away from the console so early in the sequence.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's obviously fake, just look at how the TV is shaped when it falls out. Definitely a prop TV.

First time watching: Haha, that thing fell over

Look at the way the little in that hits the shelf falls. Super fake.
