As per the media reports, the aim of this collaboration was to make its viewers aware that one must not believe everything that is shown in the videos circulated online
Comedian Jordan Peele and BuzzFeed collaborated to make a mockumentary depicting former United States President Barack Obama delivering an official address to the people.
The video released by BuzzFeed shows former US President Obama referring to Donald Trump as "a total and complete dips*** " among other statements. However, if you watch the video till the end you will understand that it is fake.
The video is not an actual recording of Obama. It's a highly edited video that digitally alters footage of Obama to make his mouth mimic a voice actor's movements.
"This is a dangerous time," Peele says while impersonating Obama. "Moving forward we need to be more vigilant with what we trust from the internet. It's a time where we need to rely on trusted news sources."
As per the media reports, the aim of this collaboration was to make its viewers aware that one must not believe everything that is shown in the videos circulated online.
Peele and BuzzFeed founder and CEO Jonah Peretti together helmed this video project under the banner Monkeypaw Productions to highlight the importance of the media literacy among people.
The video was shared by several internet users across Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat.
The reports further mention that the video was built using AfterEffects and an application called as Fakeapp.
