I mean they were using a modified clip of the film, I should have clarified that.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 9:38 PMsadly chris, yes there are people who goes above and beyond just like that to get quick laughs on the internet, i mean a person once faked cancer on reddit to get a greeting message from one of their favorite bands, it worked. it's the sad truth unfortunately....

AdminSpaceGodzillaFeb-09-2014 9:49 PMThe source who provided me with the video claims to have had a rough patch with the Studio after sending me them. Was that a lie? The emails seemed convincing enough to me and I've had leaks for different movies before. Either way - extreme measures for a quick laugh.
And again, I'll stress - this is a video of a PHOTO MANIPULATION, NOT a video showing the footage being created.

AdminGodzillaFeb-09-2014 9:52 PMChris,
In that very post you admit that, "Anyone with enough Photoshop skills can manipulate layers of an image." I think it's pretty clear that's what's happened here to begin with.
Yes, some people have a lot of time on their hands, but I think it's worth cutting a loss here. I meantioned before that it looked manipulated and that it was odd there were only 3 second clips-- What we have here are feasable answers for why/how.
The backtracking about it being in a trailer, then later removed for another shot doesn't help either. It makes it look even fishier. Then there's the fact that WB hasn't pulled any of the videos on youtube down-- which, as we all know from experience, they are very much on the ball with that sort of thing.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 9:52 PMPeople - it was a 4 second clip showing virtually nothing. Hoax or not, a lot you are wound up. Chris Picard's a good guy and this is a fan website. The new trailer is coming, TV spots are coming. The movie is coming. Patience, everyone.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 9:58 PMunfortunately chris, i do have to agree with the others tha it is fake, you can see all the seperate layers in the photoshop part and after effects part of the video, plus the guy used my damn fanart! but dont let you get this down he did bring in many visitors, but at the loss of reputation......idk its a win lose

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 10:38 PMI agree with Chris on this. Although I had originally believed it was a fake, WB took it down. Which means that WB had the rights to do so. If this was just a fan made thing, then WB has no grounds to remove the video, no matter how legit it looks. I'd like a video of someone making this, not just someone messing around with an adobe program.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 10:40 PMive been frequenting this news and you guys spoke too soon, this was a link on Rob from ETNS video, music is creepy to say the least, i wonder what rob has to say about this in his next video

MemberBaragonFeb-09-2014 10:44 PMAmen Chris! :) I sure hope this is just a bunch of morons screwing with us (or at least trying to), and the leaked material is in fact real. This whole thing seems a little fishy either way. Someone is a troll, but they won't bring this site down!

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 10:49 PMLook, Rob's a good friend of mine, and he's even said that he's not sure what to make of this. He's beginning to doubt the legitimacy, but he's still looking for further evidence to make a final decision.
Chris
AdminSpaceGodzillaFeb-09-2014 10:55 PMAlso, the trailer prediction date came from emileid.com, NOT he source who provided me with these videos. So, we still have that to look forward to! Some are now saying it'll be released with 300 - which I would expect, but still could be released before then. But I'm done posting about "when it could come out" because honestly it's the pointless thing to discuss. A new trailer is innevitable, we just have to be patient.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 10:57 PMi believe it was one man chris, i saw the reddit thread before it was deleted. Let's not get this bad thing to get us down, we can learn from this mistake, surely this will go down as the biggest troll to set foot in a godzilla community in history. For sure after the marketing comes in (well whenever it does) ALL this will be set behind us, because everyone will (will most people) forget about it and instead talk about the movie. This was a big blow but you can bounce back.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 11:23 PMAt this stage in the internet, people doubt everything and anything can be faked-- even faking something can be faked.
So its best to just enjoy the ride, like what you see, dislike what you see, whatever, believe it or not, that is up to your discerning eye.
I remember during Pokemon X and Y, there were hundreds of leaks about a week before the game came out... and Best of all, most were true... and people refused to believe them, up until they got the damn game and seen it was true themselves.
People just want to be skeptical, makes them feel intelligent. Either way, its not a terrible thing, I just wish people would be as skeptical about things they are told all the time, like when a politician or a video game company making promises. If only people were as skeptical then.
But I digress, I've seen much bigger sites with much more enduring reputations be had by hoaxes and pranks, so I'm trying to figure out the point?
I mean, I know there are some really bitter former members here (they make their selves painfully well known on facebook and other sites).
I don't get all the fantard sabre rattling bs, why can't we just get along?
Chris
AdminSpaceGodzillaFeb-09-2014 11:28 PMNothing to bounce back from really, it benefitted us greatly.
But no Junkerde, I saw the thread as well, there were at least 4 members, claiming (quite confidently) that they were members here also, for the sake of only to slander. So, I'm waiting for them to show who they were. It's not like we'll know their actual names or anything, it's the internet. They'll remain anonymous behind a screen name anyways, so there's no harm in saying "yeah I'm one of those members". Unless of course they have no balls. Man up and take credit for your work, I say.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-10-2014 3:24 PMChris Picard, question... Did you take down the clips and lie to us that WB/LP took them down?
Edit: sorry, the way i worded this makes me sound like a d-bag.
