They're several more more realistic than this, almost been fooled a few times myself.


I did and the closest I could find was mention that "some people think it's a fake". It's been picked up by a lot of MSM sites so if it's a fake it's fooling a lot of people...

Kids were never getting attacked by Golden Eagles back when I was young. Our parents beat the message into us that it was not okay to be attacked by Golden Eagles. If this child was not so coddled, or if he or she was carrying a handgun, this would never have happened. Conversely, if the Golden Eagle's parents had beat it more, like Golden Eagle parents used to, this would have been avoided as well. It is a sad testament to our times.

I think someone mentioned it,

"This was done by some students at the Centre NAD in Montreal. The eagle is CGI and the baby in the shots with the eagle are CGI. There I a blog post on the school's website about the video."

it was on the news up here in Montreal. The student who did it was interviewed. The eagle and the kid were done by CGI, the rest was filmed. It was for a school project. Bright future ahead for those kids.

Vey well done. We have a pair of real eagles at my cottage in northern Quebec and they fly like the ones in the video. Of course, RL eagles are people shy are only pick on fish and small animals.

Just goes to show you that you can't trust videos or any picture any more.

I wonder how this technology will affect court cases.

"your honour, here is a video clearly showing me across town at the time of the murder..."

Or some snarky prosecutor "we have this video that any jury will convict you on. Who are they going to believe? You or this video? why don't you cop a plea and I will forget this video"

The truth is out there...does anyone know the url?

Ain't that what expert witnesses are for?

Defense Attorney: "We hired the graphics investigation firm of Pixelchecker Concepts Inc. which analyzed the defendant killing the victim using a variety of scientific means. They have determined that the video was created with a high tech software program called fakeyourownvideo V2.1."

It is all fault of the education system, which uses it's academic indoctrination centers to make Golden Eagles attack the children. Have you noticed that the Golden Eagles are harassing only children from conservative families? Their liberal professors at the Golden Eagle academy are feeding them propaganda and the Golden Eagles, pardon me, SHEEP, are eating from their hand.

LOL, I'm really looking forward to flying there again and publicly destroying them in a debate with the talking points I learned from Eagle News. The occidental profs will learn to fear the name of Keynes.

My hamster has a paper hat. :hmmm:

I actually think that the problem is YouTube and all the violent video games that Golden Eagles have been watching or starring in recently. There is absolutely a correlation between the increase in Golden Eagle attacks and the prevalence of violent media to which these birds are exposed.

You shouldn't pretend to know anything about Golden Eagles' violent behaviour, because you are not a Golden Eagle and can't understand the unique Golden Eagle culture. I find it very offensive that you think you can form an opinion that I disagree with.
