Venice 1970 Killer Tornado Footage

[Jeff Miller]

Simple Question:

Real or fake? I've never seen this before.

Thanks.

Well, I was about to say fake, but as I watched it it looks more and more real. I don't know Jeff. I'm curious, if it's a silent film, why do they embed the audio of the projector running?

 

[Andrew Ryan]

The tornado is real, I don't if the footage is. I don't know how someone (this is before the time of videotape and Reed Timmer) could filming this close to a violent tornado without being in harm's way.

Interesting

The sound of the projector could be someone video taping the projection, a simple way to convert old film to digital. The lighting on the buildings has an authenticity to it. If it is real then it is a monster of a tornado.

Then again the person also has alien autopsy footage on their channel.

Not sure about that footage I think that is fake (looks like its from an old movie or something!) - and I think the tornado was in September not November and they rated it F4 not F5. The tornado killed over 30 people most were on a boat that was lifted up and destroyed in the storm. http://www.oocities.com/tornadove1970/

At first glance appears authentic but something about it reminds me of a close-up of a model railroad set. After review of some of his other video I question the credibility of this one.
Here is another one of his creative works for comparison:

If you go to his You tube Channel Page, and scroll to the bottom, apparently other people are leaving comments about this particular individual stealing their vids. IMO, I personally think those "Rare" videos are fake. But that's just my opinion...others might not think so.

After a few watches, my view is that it's a fake video/film. The church tower/spire, which would have been made of heavy stone, seems to get whipped into the circulation very easily, whereas it's more than likely to have dropped to the ground, or at least dropped somewhat rather than being whipped away.

From his channel bio: "Filmmaker that makes Horror, Comedy, SciFi, and all kinds of Movies". I'm not sold on the Venice tornado video being real yet, but that alien autopsy footage looks to be authentic

Looks fake... I think the gentle rocking motion of the camera is the give away. That's an easily added trick to make CGI appear more "real".

 

[Andrea Griffa]

Fake, guys, I'm pretty sure about that. I saw the same fake for another tornado in Tourin.

Yea, that and the lack of any other debris in the cloud. There should be stuff flying everywhere!

Next test... real or not?

Now that is very good - better than Twister!

That video is definitely 110% real, I can tell by the pixels and seeing lots of tornadoes . Those tornadoes that go slightly underground are the very worst kinds. You can not escape!
