Video of the day: “World’s longest basketball shot”

September 24, 2009

I don’t know anything about computers or digital editing – but to me this is for real. Somebody could simply analyze the sound of the ball hitting the glass. You can’t get that many different people – guys especially – watching the same thing to react in the same instantaneous way. They start to scream before it goes in. And the guy on the second level puts his hands up as well.

What didn’t sit well is the way they shortened it so much you have to keep replaying it so they get their hits. It’s a great shot – it’ll get it hits. They should have included the short clip, a replay slo-motion and they should have continued the live sound video from right after the shot for the viewer to watch/hear their reaction. They should have also included in the info – how many shots it took on how many days and whether that is a full-sized basketball. It doesn’t matter of they go into this elsewhere – it should right there.

It’s too bad their poor videomanship detracts from such a great shot. One comes away frustrated that it was clipped so tight and there was no replay included and not more of their reactions.

How long did it take to go from O-M-G to talk of cash?
