Good to hear from you Reedus. That was a classic Bogley moment that got a bunch of panties in a bunch.
Here’s an update (that I’m reporting a few days late):

Yeah I just watched these again, they look even more fake.
So here's how you do a good fake video; Wind noise is great, it's going to conceal a lot of the expected real noises in any situation.
Camera / video jiggle is crucial. Make your fake video and jiggle the video at the moment of the most difficult video effect. This makes it super difficult to analyze each frame, which I'm certain there were a lot of people that downloaded these videos and looked at every single frame on a large screen.
Also, the lower the resolution, the better. Grainy footage will help. You can't really get away with something lower than 720 on YouTube and still expect us to believe it was shot with a current cell phone. But the more pixelated it is, the easier to hide specific details of, say, an explosion.
Do that little fake zoom in, zoom out real quick, like you are trying to find that perfect frame. Do all of these natural looking shaky movements and it's huge for making up where your special effects fall short.
Here's another example of an amazingly fake video, but 3/4 of Facebook thinks these are real carnival rides.
Same techniques; camera jiggle, randomly zoom in and out, cut the clip at strange times....

Nice work by the Salt Lake Tribune. [Sarcasm]
