good. rachel, it s me! that s more like it. rachel! exhibit b-5 is a ghoulish take on prank videos. it comes from the creative mind of film director kyle rankin. i think people like to watch videos like this because it s similar to getting on a roller coaster. it s skirting death. i think that s why horror is so popular. kyle has worked on numerous films, including the battle of shaker heights, starring shia labeouf, and the post apocalyptic thriller nuclear family. when i m in between projects, i like to do something to keep directing and keep writing. and i usually want to challenge myself to do something i haven t done. so i thought building up to a realistic car hit would be pretty cool. kyle writes the script for exhibit b-5 and hires professional actors mircea monroe, corin nemec and cindy vela to star in the video. the shoot was really short
cindy s moves on top of the car aren t realistic enough. bouncing off of the hood, we didn t quite have the right movement on this arm, so we had to isolate her arm from another moment in time and then build a fake arm and animate it, and then drop it in in its own little spot, so we could get the performance we needed. with the effect complete, kyle sends the finished video to the cast and crew. even though i knew what was going to happen, i didn t know it was going to look that good. when i saw it, it took my breath away. i was blown away. my mouth just dropped. it was so real. even worse, it was me. it was me that i was seeing. rachel, it s me! satisfied with the response, kyle launches exhibit b-5 online. hey, sheri here. to add to the mystery, he releases it under a fake youtube account name, claudiamckinney. so, we invented a person,
mckinney that would say, like, i could not sleep last night. please, write me back and tell me that it s fake. we almost felt like we ought to tell that this is not real, that this was fake. but online, kyle does nothing to quench those queries. i haven t answered any of those personal messages from people. i just kind of let them swing in the wind. she s close. we may have exposed here that exhibit b-5 is pure fiction, but one thing about the video remains an enigma. the real mystery behind exhibit b-5 is how can corrine s pants be that tight? if he makes that any tighter, he is going to pass out from blood loss. chicks dig them. ah! [ screaming ] rachel, it s me! rachel! coming up, two guys make an airport their personal playground. let s see, i m pretty sure this is illegal. and put viral video viewers
claudia mckinney, and her story was that her dad used to be a judge and that she was taking court evidence and putting it up on youtube. but exhibit b-5 doesn t catch on right away. how s that? no, you look like al qaeda. to help it gain momentum, kyle reaches out to his friend, rainn wilson, star of the show the office. i e-mailed him, would you mind tweeting about this. and he was like, yeah, man, and he put it up and it really took off because of that. shut up! so, really, we owe the success of exhibit b-5 to dwight on the office. within a year, the video scores more than 6 million hits. i had no idea that it would get the response that it did. like, whoa. comments pour in from viewers debating its validity. people arguing about, it s real because of this. no, it s fake because of these, you know, top ten things. and that s really been the phenomenon that s kept it going and made it go viral is that argument. probably the most distressing stuff was the
