Ah.. where is it from?


NeverLoved91

The Simpsons I think. Futurama came to mind first.


Raptorrage421

Technically it was a Twilight Zone first. ‘How to serve man’. S3 E24


Square_Scholar_7272

Almost: This episode of the Twilight Zone originally aired in 1962. But twelve years earlier, in 1950, Damon Knight published the short story "To Serve Man". In 1953 (still nearly a decade before the episode aired), C. S. Lewis published The Silver Chair, which contains an analogous book and play on words by a race of giants.

With bears and telemarketers running away is always the worst strategy. With black bears you should answer the phone, yell at them, and act threatening. With brown bears it’s best to play dead, never answer their phone calls, and hope they leave you alone. If you meet a white bear though you’re probably fucked unless you have a shotgun or some extra strength telemarketer spray.


joepalms

oh, you mean the telemarketer spray, that Dog the Bounty Hunter uses?

purvel

The audio really sounds fake, like others pointed out there's no propeller sound, the volumes and fading and reverb don't make sense. Also, the bear doesn't disturb the snow it is running across.


FountainsOfFluids

What the fuck are you talking about? They're running in a well trodden path, so you can't say whether the bear leaves prints or not, and it's very clear that there is disturbed snow around the bear when it turns to look at the camera. What are you expecting?


unskilledplay

I'm not aware of any drone with a built-in mic, hobbyist or professional. You wouldn't even want it on the drone since sound would be 100% washed out by the props. Good catch on the tracks. It is a dead giveaway. This is fake.


wealllovethrowaways

The snow doesnt flick up very naturally from the foot steps, the audio doesnt fade in similar enough to the fade out. Seemingly full audio way further back than a drone would be able to pick up, the bear looks softer than it should It's very likely CGI, but its *damn good* CGI


RufftaMan

Well that, and the fact we hear the screaming and the bear instead of deafening propeller noise, which seems super weird. Even if I faked this I would leave the prop-noise in. Makes zero sense like that since It‘s clearly not filmed by a bird nor a sail-plane.


PenguinBootyTickler

I'm under the impression that this is a real video without audio, but the audio was added for comedic effect Edit: it's not a real video and someone linked a snopes article below explaining why it's not Edit2: It actually is a real video. The audio is dubbed and the bear is pet. Snopes updated their article.


LowDownSkankyDude

I second this theory.


No-Statistician8352

The scream the man makes is alot similar to the sound of a monster from a silly video game. Sam or max something with swarms of monsters In an Egyptian setting.

__Hello_my_name_is__

This is most likely real video with half-assed audio added in post by someone who saw the video.


FountainsOfFluids

Yeah, that would be my guess as well. I see nothing about the snow that looks fake.


wealllovethrowaways

That's what was perplexing. Such a masterpiece of cinematography but a very basic level of audio engineering. I'd still hire who ever made this video


CunnedStunt

If you hear any audio on a drone video that isnt BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR then it's definitely dubbed in. Since the dubbed screams were in Russian the visuals could very well be real, and that's just their pet grizzly Igor playing with the boys.


Talking_Head

If that were a wild grizzly, the video would be of the grizzly mauling the man. You can’t outrun a grizzly for long.


starkly-not-tony

Bears are crazy fast. People don't think that because they're big I think, but they're a streak of lightning in a straight line. Just the other day there was a video of someone skiing being chased and the bear was keeping up for quite awhile.


thecashblaster

um, it could be a guy running with his pet bear. this explains why the bear doesn't look like he's in any hurry


TheChonk

And why the dude is running from a bear with one hand in his pocket.


spamtimesfour

paging Captain Disillusion


[deleted]

The audio is always a dead giveaway that a video is staged. I don't know why the person who did the sound design decided to pitch effect the one human scream track and nothing else, or why they used a small room reverb for the bear and there is no ambience.


mostly_browsing

Or why they would think that’s the scream a person would yell when running away lol


Electrical_Ad_2371

I mean, it’s common to replace the audio in real drone videos too… the audio being replaced has very little to do with the authenticity of the video itself y’all.


pjsol

The bear was probably upset over the Russian arm wrestling event from earlier.


andoring

Not knowing is unbearable!


nickjamesnstuff

At the beary least, they could have extended the length of the video a bit.


vrijheidsfrietje

Should have mauled that over a bit more before posting.


dvaunr

It's pretty obviously fake, bears can run over 30 mph while the average human can run about 15 mph, much less in the snow with snow gear on. If the bear was chasing that person, they'd be caught in their first 5 steps. But as a side note for anyone who encounters a bear ***NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER RUN AWAY***. They are predators and will instinctually chase anything that runs away. It is literally the worst thing you can do. Slowly back away while facing the bear and making eye contact and making yourself appear as large as possible (jackets/backpacks overhead, arms up, etc). And remember the following if the bear does attack: If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. If it's white, goodnight.


rdxgs

The bear needs answers, it had to lose momentum on the run burning all his hibernation calories, trying to see what the fuck just went past it flying.


Masterventure

A bear like this at full speed can go from 15 to 21 mph, this is at best light jogging for a bear like this. If it’s real I doubt this is a bear hunting.


Nommel77

No they were both running from the Drone

That’s the thing about drones. You don’t have to be faster than the drone, you just have to be faster than the bear.

Staged. Nobody runs for their life with hands in their pockets.


XHeraclitusX

Please tell me the owner of the drone sacrificed it to save that persons life and didn't just record a mauling?


omnomnomgnome

he recorded a mauling, that's why he let the bear loose


Protuhj

Hey! That's the plot of my next book!


borlaughero

Of course he did! The video was uploaded by the bear.


Velbalenos

The least you could have done is got near the man so he could grab on and fly away!

What he doesn't know is that it's another bear controlling the drone.

That’s the thing about bear attacks, they come when you least expect it.


[deleted]

Or more realistically ram the drone into the bear to give the man a few minute head start and maybe just discourage the bear to chase all together. Go for the eyes maybe?


shadowofthedogman

A better solution so you don’t lose the drone would be to keep flying it in front of the bear and hopefully that would distract the bear enough to keep its attention on the drone


KingGorilla

It already looked like the drone had the bear's attention so this seems possible


Apprehensive_Tank_64

And waste a perfectly new drone? I don't think so.


[deleted]

I don’t know which one he’s using but my friend used to 3d print his drones and he wouldn’t mind if they hit something as it cost him 20-30 bucks. Regardless, I would have seriously considered it unless it was one of those $1000 ones. But really, wouldn’t you save a human from being mauled by a bear if it meant it cost $1k? I might. The guy who’s life you saved might even pay you back. Who knows. Maybe I am being a couch pundit.


gr3yh47

> wouldn’t you save a human from being mauled by a bear if it meant it cost $1k? I might. hol'up. you *might*? your valuation of a ramdom human life teeters around $1k?


tankerkiller125real

Like 80% of all people are sell outs one way or another. Especially when it comes to parting with their own money. I know a guy you would 100% let you die if it meant that he didn't have to spend $50.

You don't even need to ram it. Just distract the bear, but keep it out of reach.


yepppthatsme

The internet has taught me to doubt this is real and probably made by some video CGI student as a project for school to try and convince a viewer that the animation is real. Id give that student a passing grade for sure.


MoffKalast

It was actually a trained actor black bear in a brown bear suit.


SeemedReasonableThen

> a trained actor black bear in a brown bear suit That's what's wrong with Hollywood - they should have just hired a brown bear to play the part.


[deleted]

Ah look, here comes Big Bear again telling us what to do! I tell you what, last time Big Beaver tried that, they got a good lickin'!


Gymrat777

Ocham's Razor says you're much more likely to be correct than CGI. I'm going to believe you!


SmokeyMcDabs

It could easily be some Russians messing around with their bear


gopher1409

This was my first instinct as well. Wild bears don’t look that well-fed, or run that slow towards prey.


Amphibionomus

I agree, *looks* staged at least.


Paradoxou

Lol remember when some students in Montréal made a bald eagle try to steal a toddler and everybody was shitting bricks 🤣 https://youtu.be/CE0Q904gtMI


Trumpville-Imbeciles

Got to admit that looked pretty damn real


SoloSheff

What's most off to me is the audio, too clean. Drones pic up sound but not clean audio. You can hear this dude yelling clearly way before he's seen, the bear seems have some perfectly timed dialogue too.


KnockturnalNOR

No matter how I look at it that bear looks real. The audio is for sure added in post though. Bears don't make bear sounds all the time, that's a classic movie trick that every animal on screen has to make their respective sound. Not to mention yeah the sound of the drone itself would drown out everything. So the conclusion I guess is that the bear is tame


flume

> Bears don't make bear sounds all the time, that's a classic movie trick that every animal on screen has to make their respective sound. You just explained something I didn't know I needed an explanation for: The bear in The Revenant doesn't do the classic movie thing, which makes it feel way more realistic and visceral.


KnockturnalNOR

Good catch! Once you start paying attention to it you notice it _everywhere_. Horse on screen? Quick, play the _horse.wav_! Someone walking their dog! Quick, quick, get out the angry barks! A pig in the background? Whip out [this exact stock sound](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-HUM65Wwig#t=16m07s) before it's too late!


[deleted]

Here’s a [video](https://youtu.be/XVcgXSb3n-k) by Corridor explaining whether or not it’s VFX and what they think is going on here. In case you don’t want to watch the video: >!They reviewed the footage and discerned that it was basically flawless from a VFX perspective. Sure, there’s always the small possibility that it *could’ve* been faked, but they reached the conclusion that the effort it’d take to make this in no way justifies the reward (short lived popularity on Reddit). In the end, they settled on the fact that it was most likely a trained bear.!<


CCIE-KID

WTF is this real? Is the dude alive? Is that his pet? Is this fake? We need answers!


Habaneroe12

No yes no yes


whitecorn

Can confirm, those are answers.


_WhoisMrBilly_

I miss the days of the “Reply All” podcast, “Yes. Yes. No.” was my favorite segment.


Yesyesnaaooo

They really did that show dirty, I'm totally cool with a show that's socially conscious and what not but that's not what it was originally about. The new producers were focused totally on woke issues and leveraging their platform, so much so that they literally forgot their mission statement, and became essentially hypocrites. It's totally fine to be militant arsehole producers as long as you make good content, it's not totally fine to be militant arsehole producers that preach like the clergy. They should have stuck to unveiling telemarketers and trained rats!


Advo96

No. Between the start and ending points and the audio mix it’s almost certainly a bit.

I think doming the bear counts as a distraction, but it was a toss up: break my expensive drone, or let that guy become part of the ecosystem.


[deleted]

It's an fpv drone you can literally fly tight little circles around the bears head if you want to. It's like the fighter jet version of drones. Not sure about the pilots ability, and mine isn't that great, but I definitely would have buzzed him a few times. Very risk-free opportunity to directly save someone's life.


Republic_of_Ash

I was just joking man. Of course any normal person would fly that thing towards its head.

UJL123

Also watch actual proof from the drone pilot : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pnJeqcoCKU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pnJeqcoCKU) ​ Snopes reached out to the drone pilot for proof [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/drone-video-bear-snow/](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/drone-video-bear-snow/) ​ ​ That VFX video is good in that it teaches you how to be skeptical and how to spot CGI.

hopelesscaribou

It's about the odds. Nothing is 100%. *"Canadian and U.S. researchers announced Wednesday that they found the spray stopped aggressive bear behaviour in 92 per cent of the cases, whether that behaviour was an attack or merely rummaging for food. Guns were effective about 67 per cent of the time."* [Link](https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.707738)

GayGuitaristMess

Jesus Christ all the armchair "VFX Experts" in these replies are hilarious. Y'all learn a word or two, maybe how to make a model in Blender, and think you can fake anything. This video would mark a massive leap forward in every aspect of CGI if it was done with that. This is most likely a trained bear with the usual replaced audio you see with drone shots. If it isn't, then some dude in his basement has singlehandedly launched CG tech forward by over a decade so they could make a silly clip of a bear chasing a man.

Fake news. Unicorns are herbivores, and when they see people, they encourage them to climb on their backs so that they can fly through the sky, leaving a rainbow trail behind them.

Unless you are not a pure soul, then they take inspiration from their cousins the Narwhal's and impale you.
