It’s not just the hands thing. The way his head kind of wanders and twitches around the frame at the speaks, and the way his torso kind of stretches subtly to match those movements just feels quite odd and uncanny. Like the framerate is weird too we’re getting a bit of that soap opera effect on shitty TVs.

I agree, this doesn’t look like a deepfake. There does appear to be a quick crossfade that also explains the shifting leaves outside the window, there’s some motion blur around the time of the edit that contributes to the confusion. Admittedly, I haven’t had the time to give it a full analysis, but the rest of the video looks fine to my eyes as a film school dropout. I’m only a very part-time mod of this community so I hesitate to take down the post on my own. But if another mod wants to, I’d agree this isn’t clearly a deepfake, and probably doesn’t belong.

I wish these shills would fuck off to reddit with their uncritical hype recycling.
