OMG AGAIN!?



Just kidding, It seems that everyone and their mother have emailed this to everyone I know and don't.



It is real ya know. I got into an arguement with someone at work defending the fact that it is real. He said and swore that it is stop animation. I said that is impossible being if you look at the Clearence beacon that flashes over the left corner of the roof it never steps out of sync. If it were stop edit stuff that lite would be random as heck. Then that site that proves if real or not had just relleased that it is real.



I was like See told ya so



Moving this to the "Other" forum

I just found out that this house is somewhere in the West Hills of Portland Oregon. I'm not sure where, but they were talking about it on one of the radio shows.

Yea, but if you look at the foreground (the sidewalk area at the very bottom of the video) you can see variations of the stop action. If it were real (i. e. continuoust video) these variations would not be seen. I think it is individual still photos looped together to a soundtrack.

Don't forget that it seems it was recorded in MPEG1 format (Or similar) it is very pixelated. It's real believe me. Holeshot sent me the thing from Snyposis or somethin' like that. Steve St knows the site I'm tryin to remember. It basicly seeks out the truth and validity of theese website movies that pop up now and again.



The guy used some 1000+ controllers to do this show. The music is sent over the air VIA transponder (Local area transmission) so not to p. o the neighbors.
