But the shadow is at least close to correct baised on notfred's pictures. perhaps he was just moved up the wall in height. one pic of an empty room, one of him jumping. *shrugs*

<edit>
If you look real close at his extended right leg, you will see what look like "jaggies" up to the segond grey "swatch" on his pants, but they are no where else in the picture. I bet that part of his foot was originaly in the fireplace or surround, and the 'chopper had a hard time differentiating the leg and shadow from the brick.

<edit #2>
Ha! Look at the fireplace closely. Notice the vents on the top of the fireplace box itself? These are for a forced air circulator you can add to most fireplaces. the vents are ALWAYS semetrical or it will result in "cold spots" when you walk around the room. If you look closely, part of the right hand vent is missing, and overlayed with a slightly lighter grey splotch. you can see parts of the vent on both sides of this grey splotch, but missing in the center.

yeah i see it, but that looks like a random artifact (looks like lense flare) created by the digicam

Look at his left arm and leg sleeves. The Left arm sleeve is flowing forward, opposite the direction he is traveling. Also the left pant leg cuff is goign up rather than down as gravity would dictate.

Fun for the photographically challnged.

Gee, look, the pictures I took with my camera... the shadow from my hand isn't creased on the wall. Oh, and look, my hand is much brighter than the surroundings.. kinda like the guy's pants.

The shadow isn't distorted because the flash is so damn close to the lens.

sh¡t man i guess you're right.......

Wow, real mature argument. "I guess I have no evidence that I'm right, so I'll call him gay"

well i guess you did prove me wrong, but im still right about the picture being fake. and me making fun of you is still pretty freakin funny

about as funny as the other people around here who act 14. remember kids, its ok to be gay? race, gender, and sexual preference jokes are an almost instant sign of immaturity or just plain stupidity, at least to me.

The shadow would not be that sharp, and where is the shadow under the left arm and inside the left sleeve if the flash is actually above him?

This thread cracks me up, one of my roommate got a new digital camara from his parents, and to test it out we just decided to take some random pictures in our living room.

You guys are cracking me up... espeically the people that are claiming it is photochopped based of 'the evidence'.
LOL, it just amazes me how much people over thinks)


(oh btw, the camara was at about stomach level pointing slightly up, the pictures were taken using the LCD screen.)

just thought i'd chime in for the moron who knows all.

it's extremely obvious it's chopped, no crap the flash is above the lens, but it's not two feet above it.

there's also a difference in lighting, the room is rich with lighting but the guys pants are flat, like it was a fill light or something, not a dead-on flash.

it's obviously cut out, i don't know if the shadow is his or if it's added with the simple "drop shadow" layer effect.

plus what kind of moron would do a flying sidekick in his living room right towards the wall, or where he can slip and bust his ass on the carpet.



I just went into the other room and look at the camara itself. The Flash in NOT above the lens but to the right side of the lens (when you are facing the camara). I think there was a double flash (for red eye) when we were taking the picture.

The room is NOT rich with lighting at the time. There was two light source behind the camara coming from the kitchen area.
We were commiting at how good william's camara's flash were.

It is just unbelieveable to see that how many people claim that they know what they are talking about; When they are obviously wrong.

Look at the above statement again and think about it.
