This is completely fake and horrible acting

Talking about videos I have this one and since I don't remember it being linked here I'm posting it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qCSahatkbk It's is a trailer for an animation clip apparently done in some guys basement. It says on the webpage that the film was submitted to the Sundance Film festival. Let's see what happens!

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say "REAL".

Oh, Will, Will, Will. That is so incredibly fake it nearly made my eyeballs bleed.

I honestly can't tell if it's real or not, because I can see both perspectives. If you look at around 1:54 or 1:55, it looks like the psycho bride is smiling or laughing as she rises from the floor facing the camera. But as for arguments that the friends/sisters wouldn't be laughing and would do more, I can honestly say I would probably be laughing too because it was rediculous, and beleive it or not, I know some pretty rediculous people who I could see freaking out in a slightly more (but not much more) subdued fashion. Either way, fake or not, it's still pretty entertaining.

The very fact that we do not know whether it is fake or real is quite interesting. Part of the reason is that there is so much footage on YouTube and its ilk that shows how normal "citizen journalists" film (how much hand shake, how much others react to being filmed, etc), that it lays it open for creating a fake one. Of course, the line between real and fake has changed a lot because people are aware of being filmed, yet seem far less concerned about it than in years past. On the other hand, what is the purpose of making a fake of this tirade? The diary-girl thing was different because it had a point to make. There is so much opportunity for real melt-downs like this, that there seems little purpose in making a fake one. My wife assures me that if her hair stylist had screwed up her hair on our wedding day, she would not have gone through with the wedding (this was >15 years ago, so I am not worried about what that means ;-) Therefore, I think it is quite reasonable to assume this could happen, and little reason to assume it was a fake. You do have to ask what kind of friend would post this on YouTube, but they may not be friends anymore anyway (this could be revenge).

Paul, I can think of one good reason for it to be fake. Well, over 1.6 million of them actually. Just a few minutes ago ABC ran the latest episode of a show called Big Day which is sort of like 24 but it's a comedy about a couple's wedding day. It's pretty terrible. If these ladies have produced a fake real wedding Web show with almost zero production costs and have this many people interested in what happens next, maybe we'll soon see a fake real wedding ceremony video with more disasters. Or fake real honeymoon video. But next time it'll show up on a site with ads for wedding services. These girls could be sitting on a gold mine. ... it occurs to me there's also a show called Bridezillas. There's totally a market for wedding disaster videos.

If she was so upset about her "hair" why didn't she have the camera turned off? Staged or not there is something fundamentally "fake" about things like this since if you allow yourself to be filmed you obviously WANT yourself to be filmed so others can see your performance (barring of course intimate moments between couples).

Whether fake or real, anybody who acts like this isn't ready for marriage. Perhaps a good elementary school counselor could assist. . .

Fake or not, when she started cutting I said "Oh, God!" and felt sick to my stomach!

I think it's faced. As mentioned somewhere else, why was she all alone at the hairdresser? And why was the bridal suite empty? Every wedding I've been a part of has the bride surrounded by wedding party, mother, sister, whoever else. Also its strange that the bridesmaids' hair was already done, AND in a nice, understated way. But the bride got it done seperately, and in a cheesy way that's totally out of place with the bridesmaids' look? Plus, why would she LEAVE the place with her hair like that if she hated it? She took the time to pay for the hair, get in her car, drive to the hotel, go upstairs, and then freak out? It just doesn't add up to me...

Will, I agree that this could be a promotional stunt. But, if so, it would seem that it would be for a "reality" show or more likely a documentary type show, such as Sweet-16 on VH1. If you have ever seen that show, you know that the tantrums they throw are just as outrageous if not more so, and they know they will be shown on TV. So, it would still be real vs. staged/fake. Sean, she did have the camera turned off at least 3 times. Each time she noticed it, she screamed at the person to turn it off (finally knocking it from her hands in the end). If you have ever been stressed out, you know how you get tunnel vision and do not notice everything around you much of the time. So, when she realized she was being filmed, she got mad. The person with the camera obviously waited a bit and turned it back on.

I have witnessed freak-outs like this (not by brides, BTW) over less so it could be real. However, I have 2 reasons for thinking it's probably fake: 1) any normal bride would do a run-through with her hairstylist so the bride will know what's she's getting and the stylist will know how long it'll take; 2) her hair could easily have been fixed with a blow dryer and a brush, or just a flatiron, and the bridesmaids would have had at least two of those tools handy. Anybody can do a simple bun or French twist, it would have been really easy to do, from disaster to elegant in 25 minutes or less.
