Okay, I knew you guys would be one up on the special effects gurus I work with.
Some of the best in Hollywood and worldwide are at another forum duking it out over this presentation of the video.
I think GFYers are more keen on fraud since as webmasters you've got to be sharp or you end up in trouble. Plus your detective skills are sharper too.
I've seen people decapitated. It's a royal friggin' mess. Sometimes the blood just keeps pumping in spurts and sometimes it just pourrrrrrs out like thin syrup and I mean by the bucket full.
Someone being slowly decapitated is gonna fight and wriggle even if tied up. Adrenaline surges and it would take about 4 big men just to hold down a small guy. Most experienced hunters know this when sometimes a prey gets caught in wire or hit by a car when fleeing. ( sometimes deer or antelope will bolt and run into low slung wire from fences like clotheslines ).
The bad and opportune editing of the vid is akin to magic tricks used in basic special effects. It's 'cutting' meaning you switch something and edit the film sort of like 'slight of hand'. Just go and rent one of the 'special effects' DVDs from the 'Friday the 13th' series and you'll see what I mean. I've seen more convincing beheadings in matinee movies.
Something about this whole Nick Berg incident is wayyy too shakey.
He happens to be in the most unopportune place at the most unopportune time, then conflicts to who had him incarcerated and who didn't. Family says they've emails from the U.S. consolate and the consolate says no.
Something is shakey here and I'ld bet it'll break soon.
If it is fake, there'll be heck to pay to whomever perpetrated this.
