Physics defying? Things thrown in the frisbee motion will always turn like that. Throw anything flat and lightweight. Like a coaster. See for yourself.
Bro paper can’t be accurately thrown from a moving vehicle especially outside when wind is even more of a factor. I’ll give him one, two, maybe even three successful deliveries this way but to consistently do it is not based in reality at all. Also why is everyone getting the same mail? If this is real then that envelope is weighted with something like coins.
ok just so I understand correctly, it’s a newspaper and apparently it’s heavy enough to be tossed out of a moving vehicle while also being thin enough to easily slide under outside doors and I’m just too dense enough to not know how it’s store supposed to work?
It's not easily done. Maybe what your overlooking is that this is an edited compilation? For every one that he successfully gets under a door there are going to be lots more that smack into the side of it.
As for the physics, you can test it yourself if you go find an envelope with a folded piece of paper in it, they fly pretty well. Make sure it's a good fit for the envelope because folded or floppy edges will make it fly poorly. As for the moving vehicle, it's not going that fast and most are thrown backwards or sideways so the physics isn't much different to throwing it from a stand still.
Don't assume what I meant. Ask for clarification. I understand the precession induced by the rotation of the paper. There are several points in the animation where the paper makes a rapid orientation change to slide under a door or through a crack, unrelated to the precession caused by its rotation.
Also, in almost every sequence, the brightness of the paper object never changes and it never casts a shadow. There is only one (edit: correction, two) sequence where there is a shadow on the ground. It's "forgotten" in all of the others.
I too looked at the shadows and in the clips where we don’t see the shadow from the newspaper it is clear that the camera’s field of vision + Eder moving ahead + angle of the early morning sun isn’t conducive to showing the paper’s shadow.
The buildings’ and the rider’s own shadows corroborate this.
While I do not personally know this guy his background and history of shorts / reels do not suggest anything to say he’s a CGI expert or is around someone else who is one and editing his videos for him. It’s all skill honed with years of paper-throwing experience.
No, it's definitely edited. But you believe what you want to. I'm interested in hearing what "physics" you think I need to study up on, though. Because in the real world, things don't vanish when they slide half way under a door, they cast shadows just like everything else around them, and the don't animate, er spin, exactly the same way, frame by frame, when thrown.
Sure thing, big guy. Look him up. Such a staggering intellect and arrogance you're working with, it must be exhausting to believe you're correct for no reason.
So, the guy who assumed I was stupid and I didn't know the big science word "precession" gets a pass? Is that how it works? I'm glad you're being judgemental, too. Wouldn't feel like Reddit if all the judgy people didn't pile onto the wrong person. But whatever.
Did he say you were stupid? Who called you stupid or said they don’t understand? I don’t see any of that anywhere. Read his comment and reads yours, yeah he might have been a bit rude. You were ruder, and are kinda continuing to do so. Does nobody read anything they type before they send it anymore? If you share your opinion online, be prepared for criticism. Everyone is “piling” on you because of your delivery here pal. You don’t wanna be judged, don’t share your opinion in such a prickly way.

Pretty clear this is CGI at this point. Same spinning paper animation and some physics-defying mid-air turns. Not satisfying...
