Re: [video] Killer Whale > Kayaker Clearly fake.
1) The whale appears to surface forward of the yellow kayak on the right side of the picture. There's not contact on the way up.
2) At the time of impact, the kayak suddenly appears further to the right, like the whale flipped it over there.
Except NOTE, the lower hull color is now white.
3) When the kayak appears to surface, it's clear that the entire color of the hull (lower and deck) are fully yellow.
So unless the kayaker decided to repaint the lower part of his/her hull while being flipped in the air (in about 1 second), then repaint or remove the paint while submerged, this is a fake. |

1) You're right. There was no contact. Doesn't make it fake.
2) I'm sure a whale of that size would displace plenty of water as it broke the surface. Makes sense that the kayak would not sit still.
3) Go to a sporting goods store that sells kayaks. It's not uncommon for them to have multi-toned paint jobs. I didn't see any actual yellow-to-white changes on my screen. It could also be that the kayak is a close two tone yellow.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the whale didn't land ON the kayak, but rather near it. No squishing going on there. You can watch the splash/wake of the whale re-entering the water throughout the video. It doesn't affect the others greatly because it doesn't reach them. The kayak got sucked down in a current created by the whale entering the water. If it were two videos superimposed on each other, then how could a super-bouyant kayak disappear under the surface for that long without something external pulling it down?
You could always try and get your own video...

I'm sure it would be a different video if the film was taken from a side angle rather than one where the whale eclipses the kayak. |
