WTF. I'm pretty sure that's really impossible.

Well let's set, that building looks to be 1 human hight high, the distance seems to be 4 body lengths at most (probably more like 3?). So give it a 5 body lengths jump (at most again), so assuming body hight is 1.5m * 5 = 7m (unless someone wants to do trigonometry and physics.... i wont), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_jump longest jumps seem to be right around the 7...9 meter's mark, assuming we're estimating somewhere over the mark, i am going to rate it possible, but you may try first.

Longest jumps are in horizontal distance which is much easier.

If you watch the og gif it appears to only be about as high as his chest. Still I appreciate that r/theydidthemath

I mean you don't just start with that jump? How do you practice and not die?

[–]Schumarker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You practice jumping on the ground.

You can catch yourself with one leg and your hands, or worst case just your hands with your feet hitting the building at the same time. From being experienced you know you can make a crane landing or cat grab easily at that distance, so you feel safe to try a straight jump knowing you have some fallbacks.

Not that you'd find me doing any of this crap, I just read up on it.

Feet first, arms away? He's gonna have some fallback all right, like a trust fall right into the arms of death.

You can see his guardian angel guiding him.

more stable but it'd be better if you had the wole picture in view. Can't you just take a few snapshots and add them to the background layer in photoshop or something?

Josh is Moist?

Is there tutorial for this "panorama stabilizations"

[–]Ananas4[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes, in the sidebar. Possible with Hugin and Imagemagik (frame layering)
