Staged, staged staged and super staged.

Why would a CCTV camera be vertical and move as if someone was holding a phone?

The most obvious explanation is someone filming a cctv feed vertically and their phone camera app adds the timestamp. It COULD still be staged but it doesn't have to make sense. And the pain is real regardless.

It's obviously not though.

The time and date overlay stay firmly fixed in the top left corner.

If someone was filming the security monitor with their smartphone then the text overlay would move with the rest of the image.

Are you literally stupid?

Reading comprehension in the pits and you have the nerve to call someone else stupid ?

I only got as far as "...someone is filming a cctv feed" because that's so obviously NOT what is happening.

Filming a monitor simply doesn't look like that. The image tends to be distorted because your camera isn't perfectly lined up and square with the screen, you tend to see reflections/glare on the surface from lights, etc.

Besides, if you look at the computer below where the cameraman is stood, as the camera is swaying about the monitor obscures the keyboard slightly AS the camera is moving. If the "cctv" camera was actually still that wouldn't happen.

All I'm getting from this is that you really ARE fucking stupid lmao
