Elway Video Forgery!

[BroncoBuff]

Did anybody ever look close at this video (below)?

After the GB SB, of course - but has anybody ever noticed that, while the camera sways back and forth with John, those fireworks stay stationary?

I'm serious here - they added the firworks later! Blatant NFL Films video forgery!

Really, BroncoBuff? How do you figure they did it?

When confronted with these types of scams, Steve Sabol always retorts, "hey, we're in the business of storytelling". We're storytellers".

You have to be keen to catch some of his deceptions but they are frequent.

In almost every episode where someone is mic'd, he'll use a miking of that player from another game that he played in, if the soundbite fits the overall them of the "story being told".

You have to look no further than his Super Bowl 32 Greatest Games. On at least 25-30 occasions, he uses sound bites from a meaningless preseason game between Denver and Green Bay in August of 1998, and splices those soundbites into the film of the Greatest Super Bowl ever.

What a sham. Just because that 98 preseason game was played in Denver, and as such the teams were wearing the same uniforms they were in SB 32, he gets away with it.

A while back someone started a thread after he debuted the SB 32 Greatest Games show. And some newbie poster was like, "man can you believe what smack Favre was talking to Romo during the Super Bowl??!!"

LMAO, that nonsense was from the '98 preseason game.

[BroncoBuff]

Wow, B-Love, that's a lotta good insight! I can't wait to see the SB 32 show again.

Obviously, the TD migraine and decoy stuff is SB - and the Packers saying "We're better than this!". etc.. is SB ...

that's all I remember now, but that is really interesting. I thought I had stumbled on a rarity.

[Jesterhole]

I remember one particular case in the SB 32 video. When TD came to the sideline saying he couldn't see, Shanahan was telling him to go back into the game. He said "...if you're not in there, they're never going to believe we're going to throw the ball..."

He meant to say 'run' the ball, and in later edited versions of the same movie, NFL films corrects this bit and changed the audio to 'run'. If you listen to this line, it sounds pretty funky, like an edited for TV movie.

you're just noticing this now?

[Bronx33]

This just floored me! i gotta have some time to think, if you will excuse me.

[Garcia Bronco]

I actually think that image is from the..Disney commercial.

[Sodak]

I don't think the game ever happened. They faked it on a Hollywood movie set.

Don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see...

[Broncos Rule]

The same movie set where they faked the moon landings?

I work for a large TV network doing mixing/editing for radio and on-air promos. It's commonplace. We pull bytes from old shows to promote new episodes, etc. It's never even given a second thought.

The dinosaurs were fake in Jurassic Park

[Dagmar]

Damn. This sucks. I've only ever seen those games on ESPN, NFL's Greatest Games.>:'(

Now I discover it's all lies.

LIES!!!
:moody:
DAMNDED FRICKIN' LIES!!!

I've been WMDed all over again!:crazy:




Okay, calm now. seems we'll just have to win it this year so I can see a true one!:pray:

The part where they'd superimpose Elway over a scene of fireworks exploding doesn't really bother me at all. That's just imagery, and it really captures the moment.

The part where they'd splice in other games, that's where I'm bothered. There's just no place for that.

I agree. I have no problem with them making the moment even better.

I really hate to find them inserting comments and in game plays from a game that had taken place earlier, very annoying.:gus:

So was the Great White from Jaws.

No, I always noticed it, I just never knew anybody to talk to about it until I joined this thing 3 months ago . . .

No Broncos fans up here.

Like when the Ravens Defense pressures the QB into throwing a weak duck into the flat, and all of a sudden the Genie from Aladdin intercepts it and scores a TD? That bugged me, too.

[Kaylore]

I'm a film major (working on a soul-draining shoot right now, actually). I pretty much take Taco's possition on this. Basically they are telling a story and so will "fluff up" aspects of a certain event. Now some people might be pissed about this but good storytellers embellish all the time. The trick is to do so without getting to where the actual events you've presented are flagrantly different from the truth. See Michael Moore's later work for further examples.

[watermock]

I read that Conan didn't really exist and that Light Sabers don't either...

Worst was finding out Elway was just a computer generated player for ratings...we actually had a cloaked Martian back there...The Martian runs the Crush now...the real Elway remains locked up and given plenty of bud.

good info as always b-love!!

ive heard some of that footage, and EVERY time i think it doesnt quite fit.
doesnt quite look right, sound right, etc.

funny to find out that it isnt me, but in fact its nfl films and im just enough of a fan to catch it.
i think most casual fans and alot of HARDCORE fans wouldnt notice.
heck, i consider myself as big a bronco fan as anyone on the planet, and i didnt know for sure.

hmmm, good stuff.

Lord knows you are our films guru, and i thank you for that.
i know we can always count on you to get good archive (and sad that '98 is in the "archives") information on our team.
well done my friend.

The great thing about pandering to the lowest common denominator is that they actually seem to like it. Sports are not scripted TV shows, they're not commercials, they're the only true reality shows that have ever existed. Its insulting when some hamfisted boob like Sabol tries to edit reality by interjecting artificial elements into the "storyline".

They can doctor up a Disney commercial however they want, but NFL highlight footage shouldn't have to be spiffed up for the MTV flash edit generation. Its a frigging joke. Isn't the product enough? Isn't the best QB matchup in Super Bowl history and a nailbiting finish dramatic enough?
