contact juggling
This is very odd.
At first I was impressed by this guy's skills, but soon my attention was drawn to the complete and utter indifference of the people in the background. Not a single glance at a guy performing an amazing feat, in front of a crowd (that applauds occasionally) and at least one video camera.
I think about the 'tell' of Ray Harryhausen - sharp focus subject while other objects were slightly out-of-focus and subject to 'motion-blur'. This guy seems almost to be in front of a blue-screen.
When will reality and CGI become indistinguishable? It's damn close now and I believe we will be confronted with this reality in our lifetimes.
What say ye?
EDIT: Heres another one Another creepy contact juggler
But at least everyone that walks by stares at him. My question still stands.
