This Can't Be Real, Can It?

[L.S. Dennis]

Can someone explain to me how this was done? It sure looks real but not possible.

Some balls picked up speed. Yes, nice editing.

no, it can't be done.

Problem is this is probably a foul, Most places 8 on the break is either a loss or it's spotted.

I have never heard of an 8 on the break being a loss. A win or spotted is all I've seen. Bustamante did make an 8 on the break during this set, it was spotted.

But, he looses the game because he did not call the pocket for the 8-ball !!

Watch the 13 ball. You can see it and the 2 ball pass through each other like ghosts in the top right of the table.

He loses the game

He loses the game

8 on break is never a loss. Well, maybe in some jackoff bikerbar situations.

LOL I was correcting the post that had Looses instead of loses.

The question of this post was not really about the 8 on the break being a win or a loss, it was about how did they get all 15 balls in on the break shot. What kind of trick photography was used to do this?

It most certainly does...photo shopped.

That is some excellent video editing.
Honestly more impressive than the <wags finger> trick or "correct" shots you see on Fb...

8 ball either spots up or breaker can choose to rebreak, breakers choice.

It's an expensive process called Schroedingal Time Lapse Mandellagramming.

Modern digital editing lets you do anything. More and more courts are dubious of photo evidence unless it can be verified because of this.

I'm not a special effects person, but I'm "guessing" the way they did it is to record a few separate breaks, and then overlay portions of each one on top of each other, to make it look like every ball went in.

From my understanding watching Matlock years ago (well before digital), photographic evidence is only admissible in court if the photographer is there in person to testify, or, if it is from something like a video security system and the footage can be authenticated as original. I have no idea if this is true, or just made for Matlock
