Why a problem? At last we are being educated that a video or image is NOT evidence! It is the full story that matters, things like consistency and logic in the story, willingness of the photographer to engage with investigators, and then other issues like witness corroboration, etc.
Evidence of what? If you mean ET visitation - well, it won't be some lame event that simply involves lights in the sky, reported by one or two folks who just happen to know each other (and have a copy of After Effects/3DS Max/Jahshaka..).
And quite rightly - in no other topic (except perhaps general 'paranormalcy'!) is the 'evidence' threshold so abysmally low.
I love TFH's work, by the way!
I agree with you and I do realise that single source video 'evidence' isn't exactly 'ideal' but really no single source video is going to be taken even remotely seriously right off the bat without multiple independant eye witness corroboration and other supporting evidence now.
That was the point I was making.
I am just saying that as photographis stills have long been suspect, now so is video. No matter how convincing. I think we've reached the point where home-made hoaxes are so sophisticated that as Dan said, I also can't imagine seeing a picture or video clip and not just thinking 'fake'.
Technically very impressive and I'm not having a go at TFH, I agree he's showing the state of the fakers art to us all. Just a shame that now when it comes to video, we really cannot believe our eyes at all any more.
