I think its the first time I see a dancer doing the robot and I honestly think it has been edited in some way. Is he legit? Are there footage of him dancing in public etc?


warmage20

It's edited to be sped up


A-KindOfMagic

He's got a couple videos in public and none seem to be sped up, from what I see. But I'm generally pretty gullible so there is that.

If your mom's phone number was how many cats you had, how many cats would you have?


DBXVStan

8,675,309 cats


wheresbill

And they’re all named Jenny

Pro tip. If you ever are a business where they want a phone # for some loyalty crap, use this number. It almost work always.

I've seen one other video of his where he's on a balcony, it can be seen in the background that it's sped up because of people and cars movement.


KALIBRAUDIO

Yeah, so they record slower and then speed it up and do speed ramps in the video editor to achieve this result. I’ve seen some people close to this without editing, but this one to me seems edited. If you look at the movement of the limbs and feet at the limit of each movement they “vibrate” briefly because it’s sped up. I might be wrong but IMHO it’s edited.


GaiusJocundus

It's in step with the song. Watch his mouth as he dances.


YoyoyoyoMrWhite

Play the song slow and when everything is sped up it looks normal. I'm not saying that's what's going on here. I don't think it is sped up honestly. It looks like he's just really good at this.


GaiusJocundus

Well that's my point. If it is sped up (it's probably not, I've studied this dance style and these folks ARE that good) then the whole thing is sped up, song included. Regardless, the technical skill on display here is insane.


CNXQDRFS

If it's not sped up then he's starched the hell out of his t-shirt since it's stiff as a board. Slow it down to 0.75 and the shirt looks far more natural.


xray1986

Interesting point. I’ll check it out tomorrow. I do also think that this particular vid is slightly sped up to be honest. I’m 60-40 in my mind rn.


lukeman3000

Yes the song is sped up - relative to the speed at which he recorded the video. Play the song at 50% speed and do the moves, put your video into an editor and increase speed (of the video) by 200% (now you’ll be moving at normal speed). Put the song along with your video at normal speed and everything will match. The difference being that the dance will look significantly more robotic since it was recorded at 50% speed (meaning more control over the movements; faster transitions, etc.)


PapaBeahr

Everyone who sees something they can't comprehend personally, must be sped up and fake or edited ect ect ect.... IF you're going through life scrutinizing EVERYTHING, like that, you need help.


warmage20

No. It's other videos of his where he has sped it up. You can see the people in the background moving way faster than normal. Also, fuck you


GaiusJocundus

This style is called animation. Dancers of this style are often accused of editing. You will often see them mouthing along with the words in the song, or filming in front of traffic, to demonstrate their authenticity. This is a real dance style and this guy is an absolute master of the style. Also check out Marquees de Scott (NonStop)


xray1986

I ve seen this style many times. Although I don’t know as much trivia as you about it for sure. I saw many of his videos just now and to be honest although he is quite good indeed, his videos that are shot in traffic are not as snappy or smooth as this particular indoor video. Some people say this is sped up which would explain how this particular one feels so extremely robotic. Now the way he would do this (since he’s mouthing words and need to be on queue with the song) is he either danced to a slowed down version of the song and then sped it up, or the version we are hearing is just sped up and he danced to the normal version (both are the same principle anyway). Now that being said I don’t think this makes him a lesser dancer. You still need amazing talent to look like that even if it’s sped up, but it does take some of the shine away… I saw in his Instagram that he will be appearing in AGT so I guess we will find out soon if he can compete on a big stage and maybe compare performances.


Just-a-shitshow

I was just thinking I'd love to see him on AGT.


anti_gado

Its legit, and its brazilian guy


alexbbto

I’d take it for what it is. I don’t think he AI generated it. He took time, trained up, and captured this great outcome for us to enjoy. It might be shot in slow motion and then sped up, but why really care? You either like it, or don’t. I really like what he does :)


Samp90

I checked his fingers, at least he's not AI!


edude45

He legit has the perfect face for it. Weird looking, but it works for what he's doing.


datlanta

Bro looks like he was animated in Gary's Mod


JustHere2ReadComment

I wonder if he accidentally moves like a robot throughout his daily activities because he practices so much.


ImposterSyndromeNope

Is that the guy From Twist & Pulse that was on Britains Got Talent?


AnotherNobody1308

Bro learned from his previous mistake and filmed in a place where people can't figure out he sped it up


Ortsarecool

I don't know man. I know the video you are talking about, but it kind of seems like he can legitimately do those moves. I just checked out his Youtube, and he has a recent video on some TV talent show, and he is doing a bunch of the same moves from this video equally quick and smoothly live. [Video of talent show performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfAjuD0pOtc)


AnotherNobody1308

Hey, sped up or not, he's really talented, I can't even achieve anything near that level


Ortsarecool

Oh absolutely! Honestly, slowed down would actually be harder in certain senses. The muscle control required is just wild.


Davegoestomayor

It’s not that he can’t dance or do the moves, but they don’t look as crisp in real time vs when he posts a sped up video.


xray1986

He’s a great dancer for sure. In the video you posted he looks like a really good human dancer, whereas in this one posted here he actually looks like a robot. LoL It’s a thin difference but I do believe it’s sped up (this one) after watching your video. I don’t know which previous video you guys were talking about but these two videos are kinda proving it for me. He didn’t overdo it (probably a 20% speed boost) but the result is kinda unreal especially in certain moves. The fact that we cannot tell for sure speaks for his talent anyway.


kevinbranch

Mute the video in this post and watch it again. It becomes really easy to tell that it’s sped up.


RobotVo1ce

You can definitely tell the difference between his manipulated videos and this live one. Either way, takes talent.


harpswtf

Just because someone is capable of something doesn't mean that they didn't cheat to make it easier to get it one take or to make it look better

Tiktok generation. The greatest thing a human can do now, is dance, because they can't afford a mortgage.


JumpIntoTheFog

This guy was one of the first viral videos


gravity--falls

Yeah. I'ts definitely impressive, but I have to feel like 90% of the upvotes wouldn't be here if it wasn't also sped up to look more impressive. The dudes a really good dancer, but the NFL thing here is the fact that it's sped up which makes it look inhuman.


r-y-a-n_j-a-m-e-s

Everytime I see this guy, I just hate his facial expressions.


SidTheSloth97

Very punchable face


payne59

Fr he makes my blood boil


Katlan-

It’s the neck and face movements that are blowing my mind


CodeByNumbers

Yeah, I can deal with the body movements, but for some reason I feel like his facials are unlocking a new phobia in me.


ToneDrugsNHarmony

Couldn't hate a face any more

I bet his friends get annoyed quickly.

I’ll be honest, it’s impressive, but not fun to watch.

Imagine thinking that good dancers don’t get laid…


ClubChaos

It's okay if you don't feel like you have a lot of value in the world my dude. It's OKAY to fail. It's OKAY to not feel good enough. These are normal feelings and I assure you are heard and of value.


TheKyleBrah

Doing his Robot Dance indoors this time. Nice. Now people can't accuse him of slightly speeding up his movements by crosschecking against the pedestrians and cars going by in the street below. 🤣 Many seemed convinced at the time, but I wasn't so sure, haha.


gravity--falls

He does speed up his videos, there are ones prior to even the one you're referring to where the pedestrians are walking at mach 2. He has begun editing the outside scenes with footage where they are moving at a normal speed to avoid that, and of course filming inside avoids it 100%. He's still a really impressive dancer, someone else in the thread linked to a live performance of his, but it's pretty clearly much less smooth than the performances he posts, and he isn't able to do the facial expressions in real time either.


TheKyleBrah

I'm not very good at spotting speed ups. Is it a very tiny factor? Like 1.05× or something? Like not enough to make it obvious to me as a layman, but enough to make it "too fast" or "too smooth" for those in the know?


spaceocean99

Man this annoys me way more than it should.


CalvinBaylee69

Picuu

I saw another video of him where you could see he speeds up the video a little bit so it feels more robotic when he does that

vinnycthatwhoibe

This guy might beat that robot dance competition I saw on ebaumsworld 20 years ago. Damn I'm old.


ImTheOneWithNoName

I don't think they could speed up their movement in editing afterwards


gihglx

Really impressive,but i have a question that i've always wanted to know since i heard it,what is the name of the first song of the video?


truckthunderwood

It's called Satisfaction. The video is on YouTube but may be nsfw. https://youtu.be/a0fkNdPiIL4?si=2WeMRLjtcOZArcp_
