paint, or tag, the president's plane? >> i think people really want to believe it's true. >> the video hit the internet in 2006 and quickly became a sensation. >> the first reaction is always, is this real? and if this is real, how can this be real? and what does this mean for the security of our country maybe if this video is real? >> so did it really happen? was the video real or fake? >> it just doesn't pass the sniper test really is what it would be. if i were to run up to the air force one in all black with a backpack, i don't think i would survive that run. if i went and did that, i would be either arrested or shot or shot, then arrested. >> i think what we were trying to accomplish was a pop culture moment. >> marc ecko is a designer and a video game developer. the air force one caper was part of a viral marketing campaign

for a game called "getting up." >> it was to get people to talk about the game and to author something that was culturally relevant. >> in the game, the main character uses graffiti to protest a corrupt and totalitarian authority. mark and his creative team brain stormed for a stunt that would bring attention to the game. >> the symbol of air force one was so loaded, and the absurdity of me being able to hop a fence with a spray can was just so absurd, we said, we got to do this. we got to figure this one out. >> ecko teamed up with advertising agency and creative shop droga5 to make it happen. >> the first thing was, i guess we have to rent a 747. >> they found a plane. >> oh, my goodness. >> and painted it to look like air force one. >> we wanted it to look as authentic as possible, because

that's what's going to get people to raise their eyebrows and go, really, is this real? the layout of the fence and where the plane would be in relation to that fence was very, very authentic. the hangar size nearby was very, very authentic. even the sign of andrews air force base are the real signs. >> while in theory they weren't doing anything illegal, the production was not without risk. >> we start the shoot and we pull out a 747 and it was just like that holy [ bleep ] moment, is this really happening? and all of a sudden helicopters start flying about. police showed up. there was no shortage of creative tension that night. >> if we had somehow put this video out there and someone had panicked and stopped a presidential flight from happening, we might have been in trouble. luckily, that didn't happen. >> they manage to avoid a national security incident and created a video that got international attention.

the air force one stunt hit the internet in 2006 during the early wave of viral videos. just a few years later, skepticism and its competition have risen exponentially. >> the medium of viral video was still very new. the perfect window of opportunity there that existed, that really doesn't exist today, where the suspension of disbelief existed around videos. you automatically suppose that everything you saw on the internet was real. and that window allowed for this opportunity to do this kind of -- to use viral video as the perfect medium to put together this stunt, if you will. >> you're competing with a guy that put a cat down his pants or something. you have to be genuinely entertaining because the next video below you will be funny or cute or outrageous. you'd better make an impression. >> that mark ecko video was so creative. it was so well executed it looked and felt like somebody

was breaking in somewhere. it gave that you self-doubt, is this real or fake. so the first thing you do is you send it to ten of your friends. real, fake, i don't know. >> from a highly planned and produced video to one with a concept that couldn't have been more simple. a man named matt who likes to dance. >> i love it. it's totally captivating. >> what matt did was just for fun was traveling around the world and at every location he would basically dance a little jig. he edited these together and creating a video of himself dancing jigs around the world. it was well done and creative video at the time. >> but along with the notoriety came the detractors. some suggested the video was fake, that there was no way he could go to all these places, that the video was constructed with special effects and green screen technology. >> there's certain situations where i see a video and i think, if that's fake, i get angry at

people. i'd be like, what are you -- i can't believe you did that. i was emotionally invested in this thing because i thought that this guy was actually there. >> could one guy really dance in all these places? >> i'd be ticked. i'd be ticked if it was a green screen fake. does anybody know what this guy does for a living? >> traveling god's green earth or standing in front of the green screen? when we come back.

suddenly sweden is watching the video. suddenly south korea is watching the video. late in 2005 it had this really big spike. i was getting called by tv shows and newspapers. >> and it certainly caught my attention. will you dance with me? >> sure. >> but for all the attention the video got, people said it couldn't be real, that the exotic locations were really a combination of editing magic or green screen technology. so was the video real? or fake? >> the video is not fake. it's not a hoax. it's not manufactured. there's no special effects involved. i really did go to all those places and set up a camera and danced. i started out working as a video game designer. so in 2003, i quit my job. i took the money i saved up to go on a trip around the world. i spent six months traveling to about 17 different countries.

and a few months into that trip, i was traveling with a friend. we were in vietnam taking pictures. >> i was just like you should do that stupid dance you do on camera. >> we shot it and i liked the way it looked and decided to keep on doing that everywhere i went on this trip around the world. i put the clips together thinking it would a nice memento for me to have of my trip around the world and it might be amusing to some of my friends. i didn't think it would be interesting to anyone who wasn't me or someone i knew. and people started passing it around. >> where can he go where somebody will not ask him to do that dance? >> when the dance in that video came about, there weren't a lot of people who were going around filming themselves, number one. number two, there weren't a lot of people editing them together. number three, there weren't a lot of people taking a creative approach of stringing them together in one specific video and, four, actively wanting to share it. matt came about at a time when people didn't know that you could do this. and people weren't actually trying to achieve fame. they were doing it for fun and to share it with friends and family.

today, would that video be successful? hard to know. >> by the end of this one, it's so inspirational about the world and coming together as a people and, like -- you know what i mean? >> the video got the attention of stride gum, which made matt an offer he couldn't refuse. >> stride gum is a chewing gum company that was about to come into market in 2006. and they called me up and they said -- they asked if i'd be interested in making another video with their help. and so in 2006, i spent six months traveling to 39 countries on all seven continents to make the second dancing video with them. >> he got stride gum to fund his next trip, which is -- i mean, i think that is the goal for any viral video, is get somebody to pay you to make the next one. >> people started achieving real fame through the internet. marketers suddenly paid attention and increasingly saw more brands reach out to people with a dedicated following and

try to integrate their brands with them or increasingly have them create content on their behalf. they realized this would be a wonderful way to get exposure without having to pay for exposure. >> the second video was so popular, matt did a third one. this time he called in reinforcements. >> my favorite clip in that second video was in rwanda where i danced with a bunch of kids in a village, and i thought, boy, that's so much more interesting i should have been doing that all along. so i went back to stride and i told them this idea for another video where i'd take all the e-mails from people all over the world who said, why didn't you come dance in my country. and i would go there and invite them to come dance with me. and we got thousands of people to come out and dance with me for this third video. >> there is movie star fame. rock star fame. even reality show fame. but this was different. >> we came up with this term e-lebrity, somebody who came

so tame to fame through the internet. >> with that and e-lebrity status, there was no going back to day job. >> i'm working on a book about making the videos. from time to time i get invited to go speak at colleges, grade schools, corporate events and things like that. and i've been enjoying being at home as much as possible because for the last five years i've not spent a lot of time here in seattle. >> but the fame and fortune came from traveling the world. so can we expect to see matt dancing again? >> there's a few places that i still haven't managed to get to. number one on the list is, and probably will always be outer space. i'd love to get up into space. i hope someday that i'll figure out some way to get up there. a trip to the department of motor vehicles could be one of the most universally dreaded things we all have to do. but in this next viral video,

two filmmakers appear to make trip after trip to the richmond dmv willingly and in costume. and each time, they come out with a new license. >> it's already pretty interesting to see some of the spray painting hair on their head. it's kind of a good look. a little non-pc racial humor. definitely popular, whether you love it or hate it. funny idea. i like the concept a lot. i was instantly skeptical because you could fake that completely and there was zero footage of them in the dmv. >> how are they letting them redo licenses that often? >> the video took off generating millions of hits and attracting media attention. >> let's begin with a couple of filmmakers in virginia when they took artistic licenses when they went to get their driver's licenses. >> in post-9/11 america, could anyone really get away with this? find out if it really happened when "caught on camera: viral

snobs. so what was the real story with the video? we went back to 2006. and one of the first television interviews will and dave did when the media picked up on their stories. >> i decided just randomly to go to the dmv and try to get a funny picture. i got away with crossing my eyes and looking ridiculous. from there, it just escalated. dave went a couple of times. and we just kind of tried to top each other's driver's license. >> this one is going to be the one that definitely does not work. >> dave got away with painting the top of his head black and wearing fake buck teeth. that surprised us a lot. it was hilarious but at the same time it was kind of scary. the only thing i could think to top that was paint my whole face red. >> for some weird reason i think people will look at me kind of strange. >> we were definitely surprised. every time we walked out, we were completely in shock. before we went in we said we're definitely not going to be able to get away with this. every time we were more and more surprised.

good. >> it was a joke and escalated to an issue of national security. did we expect that? no. but i think it's a good thing that it did. people do know someone can get a license that easy. >> you can call them filmmakers, pranksters. >> we're heroes. artists. >> we don't like to put boundaries on what we do. >> whatever you want to call them, will and dave have made a video that for a moment anyway captured people's attention. but has that attention changed them? you decide. >> everybody just wants to be our friend now. our inner circle, we are just glowing. >> all that really matters in life is that you're either famous or you're not. and we are famous. >> now we go from two guys getting replacement licenses to what appears to be a young man practicing to get his first one. >> in this series of videos, a kid signs up for driving license and essentially torments the instructors by being the worst possible driver. >> this driving student takes

they were unaware that our student driver was actually a plant. and as he was taking his driving course, he would continue to answer fake phone calls throughout. and we had cameras hidden in the air freshener. we had another camera hidden in the glove box and so forth. and so while he'd take his phone calls, the driving instructors would get more and more infuriated. >> would you type in her number. >> no, phone over. >> i deleted her number. >> keep your [ muted ] hands on the driving wheel. >> for parrot, it was a home run because it allowed them to get the message out to a ton of people for not a lot of money. >> our sales were up three times in california over where we were before we started. >> the online hits kept coming and buzz on the video grew. >> i think it was a million clicks in the first week. >> we're probably going to have to go back. >> no, i'm driving. >> just pull over here. >> pizza. can we have pizza. you want to get pizza now? >> i think we're just going to chill. >> it was just tremendously funny. that's what drove the viral success of this campaign. people were sending it around to others saying you've got to see this.

for the people involved in the actual prank, the camera people, the director, the choreographer and the people who performed in it, nobody knew what was going. >> it was really a setup, it would be a big production, not four kids totally disrupting a class. it's a great idea. all that stuff is just great ideas. ♪ but all we need is just one chance ♪ ♪ to be treated as your equals and to dance ♪ >> the idea came out of an improv group barry was part of called prangstgrup which posted the video in 2005. >> prangstgrup was a bunch of students at columbia university and our main mission was really to perform sketch comedy in public for what i guess we would call a captive audience. ♪ they risk their professions for the chance ♪ ♪ to be inspirations to kids like me ♪ ♪ they teach ♪ >> the idea was about creating a

performance and putting it up in front of people who weren't expecting the performance where they were. it's very funny to have somebody stand up in the middle of a very normal situation and start singing. ♪ and to dance ♪ >> i love, love, love that idea. i always felt that it would be fun to do, but that i could never do it with a straight face. ♪ to change our lives and reach teach ♪ >> it's very original and it's a little subversive. you've got that element of, oh, i've never seen that before. so i love this. i like musicals. >> as simple as it may look, breaking out into song in class took a fair amount of planning. mike and his band of pranksters picked the largest lecture hall they could find, which turned out to be a chemistry class. >> the night before we sort of set up how we would go about it. so the day of the prank, we

walked into the classroom like we were just students in that class. and i was miked. there was a boom box all set up. one cameraman was stationed outside. the class began and my cue was to stand up and scream, hey teach, i've got a question. i don't think i can describe to you accurately just how scared i was. because i was afraid someone was going to stop me. i was interrupting a class. i thought the teacher would run up and shut me up or somebody would get in my way or something would happen that would stop the prank right in the middle and that would be the end of it. so i was scared to death. >> and what about the teach? what did he think? >> i had no idea this was going to happen. i was stunned. it was so well done, so well produced and choreographed, the singing, everything was so professional it was as if gilbert and sullivan met vh1 and

appeared in my class. >> while the members of prangstgrup have graduated and moved on, their work lives forever on the web. there's little argument in this columbia university lecture hall they captured a little piece of viral video magic. >> for video to be successful, it needs to be first of all creative, second of all well executed and, three, really needs to strike this emotional chord. and that emotional chord is probably the most critical because, again, you're encouraging someone to actively share something, tell friends and other family you have to watch this video. >> hey, teach, i've got a question. >> you have this video where people plan for months. they go to a classroom and they jump up and sing and dance. that's just never been seen before. it's unique and it's well planned and it's amazingly executed. depending on your point of view, our next video features either a secret fantasy or secret fear of office workers worldwide. >> we all have someone in our office who think could be that

guy. this is a video of that guy going mad in the office. ♪ >> tina from accounting is down. this one definitely had me. >> immediately, i thought it was fake, because a lot of these are fake. the thing that made me think that it was real is this chick right here. she caught what looked like a monitor in the head. and i was like, if this was not real, they would have been, like, all right, stop. >> everyone wants to believe this is true because everybody hates their boss and everybody hates that printer. everybody hates tina from accounting. those damn halogen lamps. >> yeah. i was like, wow, this guy is really pissed. that guy's 401(k) did not look the same this morning as it did yesterday. >> find out if it's real or fake when "caught on camera" returns.

a cubicle worker cracks and destroyed his office unbelievable. yet so believable. the video immediately became a hit. but did it really happen? was it real? or fake? the video is fake. and it even fooled the experts. >> fooled all of us even those of us in the business and watched almost every video around. we don't know. we watch and say it could be real, might be real and turns out, i don't care. >> i was totally suckered. in retrospect i can see things like the monitor, you need to unplaug a monitor. that just doesn't come up and out. >> the office video was the brain child of a person looking for a new person to promote his movie, "wanted." >> we know that the audience aeroaudience, our target audience is teenagers. we understood that the place we

can find them is the internet. and what they like and we like it's a viral video. >> the video plays off a scene in the movie where a young office worker smashes a colleague over the head with his keyboard. >> if we will extend it what if we make it as a viral video, action spot? i didn't expect it would be so popular. in my mind if it's like 500,000 people, it's great. >> in fact the secret advertisement got nearly 4 million views in the first week it was posted. for that man, viral videos were a natural marketing choice. >> i like viral videos because it's organic, and you don't have to pay to distribute. >> as for people wondering whether it was real or fake he said that's exactly what he wanted. >> they think, oh, no maybe it's made up. no it's real. >> the success of the viral

video caught the director by surprise and he's keen to try it again. after all, wanted grossed more than $340 million worldwide. >> maybe there is a better way how to do this, and next time we will use new techniques. but in any case it was entertaining. it was entertaining, something to talk about. >> next from office rage to primal love. the video that melted the hearts of nearly everyone who watched it. >> unless you're you know a guy who stabs people you can't help but get choked up. >> two people adopted a baby cub lion. they adopted it for a yearering essentially letting it run around a church then when it became a lion, they let it go in affcu. >> they pull you in in the beginning when you see two hippies playing with a lion. who plays with a lion? that's awesome. >> every child's dream right there, pet lion right?

>> that gets us into the phenomenon of how popular cats are online. why do people love cats so much? >> the critical point in the story line come with two men go to africa to seek out the lion a year later. for a moment, he eyes the two humans. he rushes towards them. >> it's the sweetest story in the worldering right? they're like let's just see if he doesn't mall us. that's the question they ask themselves. that goes beyond viral video. >> that's pretty vasfascinating to watch. it makes you nervous they're going toget their faces ripped off because we have all seen those videos. don't you want to hug that lion? >> this video, almost overnight, became a national phenomenon once it went on the internet because you see the moment of the lion running towards these people and it recognizes them as its parents. it's impossible not to have some strong emotional attachment and

resignation with that. the first thing you would do is forward it along. >> the video was a phenomenon and a particular favorite of at least one morning show. >> now to a new clip that's all the rage. it's also up lifting. >> we have all seen this video 100 times, but we still love it. >> i'm crying. >> you're crying. which is disturbing. >> the video is touching, heartfelt, and so so sweet. which of course led some people to believe this was a big fat fake. >> there's always a question of if something is for real. >> there are naysayers who claim it's a fake or they think it's a fake. i don't think so. >> no looks pretty real. >> looked real to me. >> the story is unbelievable. >> the fact i hadn't heard of it before made me think, how did they fake this? is that a person in a lion suit? >> the story was so captivating, did it matter if it wasn't real?

>> it's entirely possible that lion was want real. it's possible that whole thing was staged, but the storeway the store story was created and it was distributed, you can only thing, this is something different and special. >> if it's fake i think i might go shoot somebody. how could you be so cruel to make that up? that's what i would say. i'm hoping it's real. let's put it that way. >> well, no need to worry. the video is real. but the true adventure of christian the lion was first told in a documentary that became the source of the viral video footage. the unlikely love story started in london in 1969. when our two heroes john and ace burke, went shopping at harrods department store and bought a lion. >> so ace and i, we were in the pet department. there were these two lions. a lions and the cub that we subsequently called christian, and he was totally, totally

irresistible. it was really a shock to see these beautiful creatures in such a tiny cage. >> we had wanted to rescue him from the situation. and we have thought it would be an adventure. >> anyone could see that he really loved us we really loved him. we were all part of his pride. >> eventually, the lion became too big, so john and ace took christian to africa and turned him over to conservationist george adamson who would release him back to the wild. about a year later, they went back to africa to look for christian and found that the magic was still there. >> he comes closer and closer and closer. then you can just see the click of recognition. so we called him, and that's when he took off. >> and he ran towards us with such excitement. the exuberance of it is what surprised everyone. the euphoria of that moment in fact, we were all caught up in it. there was the most beautiful

sort of connection between human and animal. >> the moment we saw him, we knew there was no reason to be frightened at all. >> it predated the viral medium by nearly 40 years but this love story transcended time and species and continues to strike a cord with nearly everyone who sees it. >> it has been quite extraordinary, the youtube phenomena. i suppose it's a story that still resonates and there's no reason why it should date. >> it's also honest you can't fake that. you can't fake the love that he has for us. well they say you can't fool all of the people all of the time but chances are at least one of the videos you just watched fooled you. don't worry. you're not alone. if you have a video you'd like to send to us
