Gorilla lured by iPhone- how-to demo

After watching 3 of this guy's videos, I have come to the conclusion that this is my favorite channel.

Apparently taking selfies is a primal instinct? LOL

I love hearing the kid saying "How did he do that?" in the video and I am so trying the gorilla cam project at my local fast food joints...

Your channel is so amazing...

I like the close up view of their eyes. You came up with the only way I know of to safely make a close up video like that.

Animals in zoos see and hear people ALL DAY LONG. Way to give them some enrichment!!!!!!!!! and some great shots for us at the same time! Amazing.

i'm loving your videos, they're all so random & different from one another, yet equally awesome!

Hahaha! The ending is hilarious!

What a fantastic video! You sir are headed for millions of views. Congratulations!

LMAO "higher order primates." Loved it. You, sir, are a genius.

I never knew their eyes were brown on that end! That's amazing!

You must be a genius. You're to creative with technology! and you always close with a good joke lol

Loved the ending! :D haha humans are just like monkeys in many ways :D

That was a pretty amazing trick. Funny how it could fool anyone - even an orangutan.

your creativity has no limit ! thank you to share your work !

1:14
Its as though she's staring into my soul.

Awesome. I bet they would like it if you showed them other interesting things too. It must be boring in there, and they see humans all day long, but they never get anything new and interesting to look at. They deserve to be the ones who get entertained sometimes, not always just be the entertainment.

Nice testing on humans too

That is some beautiful footage around 1:15, I'd love to try this, pretty amazing how human like they look.

Holy shucks, I have never been this happy to subscribe to a channel in my life. I've been looking for a channel like this for the longest, thank you.

Wow. Given, the mother went & got baby to show it its reflection, I think the Orangutans were self aware (new it was their own reflection). Wouldn't recommend doing this though. Might make other animals very agitated.

buddy that is such a great idea. take a guess what I am taking to the zoo next time I go.
I wonder if this would work in an aquarium !!!

Very cool. The music is perfectly fit to it. :D Loved it. It's not everday you can see an animal so up close and personal!

you're awesome man, definitely subbing for more

That is so amazingly simple and brilliant!

You just earned your self a subscriber. Loved the twist at the end :D

That was cool, I am glad I subscribed a while ago because I have been waiting for more of these.

hey ive been subbed since trejo sent me here awhile back. glad kevin featured this on stuff kevin likes, glad hes throwing your name out there, cause ive liked all your stuff and think your a genius.

thanks for posting made my week!

This is amazing. I mean literally speechless when the animals came up to the window :-O

whoa whoa. I think you mean his pupil *contracted*. (;

Thanks for the Smile. This was awesome and I can not wait to try it

Definitely doing this next time I go to the zoo... btw show us more of your son he's super cute!

That is ingenous! I would never have thought of that. So.. smart! like everyone does it to birds by using mirrors.. never thought of using it on any other animal. Good job!

Simple and Brilliant!! You should try it with Arturo and Jose Luis!

That narration was beautiful :D

@ScrodngrsCat
LOL!
I was trying to think of a way to describe the way the babies look.
And......I think you nailed it.

Wow. You're a genius. Congratulations.

you are so clever!!! I can't wait to try this myself...let's take the grandkids and head out to the zoo!!! I love your ideas!!! more, more!!!!

that's great I love the ending

Your "Schrute Farms Beets" shirt........... is amazing.

lmao @ the marketing technique... This is the coolest idea ever! And i will definitely try this if we go to the zoo during summer. Thanks!

lol i like how he calls the iphone a crappy camera phone. Its probably one of the best cameras ever put on a phone. Anyway video is AWESOME. Brilliant.

This was awesome :D

I can see why JPL hired you, you keep thinking about the 'problem' even after your first solution. Gotta love your ending observation. ^.^

woah, you got featured on SKL! congrats

you sir now have a new sub

Love the idea!!! I think I'll have to cut a bigger hole in some glass hook it up to my dslr sometime.

that was awesome! keep it up :D

I like how some of what the other people are saying in the background could be applied to what the Orangutans might have been thinking.

I love your shirt so much! :))

nice video! That just made my hangover Sunday

Ay man good stuff. Appreciate the humor.

just subscribed! lol your videos are awesome

You just earned yourself a subscriber! :D

@ButterbeerMe Zoos are not for preservation, but for entertainment. The National Parks where only the staff can go in, are for the preservation of the species. The Zoos could do that also, without all the people watching, making noise and scaring the animals.

I just subscribed like a regular employee.

Great video, love the test on higer-order primates.

Did you use iphone 4 or 4s.. the quality is really clear :)

that's a really smart idea! Awesome = )

After years of evolution having not seen themselves, I wonder what the orangutans feel.

What have you started? Now everytime i go to the zoo, i wont be able to see anything because everyone is going to try this! Nice job tough :)

Schrute Farms Beets I love the office too nice call

your baby monkey and the orangutangs baby monkey should arm wrestle for the cute title. This is bloody brilliant by the way, and great shots!

I WANT ONE! Nice video btw :D

That was freaky. well done smart guy!

this is awesome. and you have a schrute farms shirt on

constructing one tonight for My kittens...they've not seen a mirror yet ;)
2 Changes: 1) I will mount it inside a box 2) didn't need to drill a hole. I used an etching solution to remove a circular "or attempt to" piece.
I'll post the video later as vidreply ;)

Du bist wirklich genial ^^

I had fun watching!

Totally wonderful!

you my good sir, just earned a suscribe

2:12 was the cutest thing in the world :)

@SimmJimm don't worry you're right

i predict 1,238,193 views on Feb.23.. Nice video, im gonna try that!

years alone as a gorilla captured u finnly see another and its this

Oh my! So cool!

AWSOME

This is a bit off-topic,l but how did you manage to upload videos from your iphone in such high quality?

Do you got any aquariums with dolphins and/or octopuses ("octopi"?) nearby where you could take the gorilla cam?

That's actually really interesting, thought it would've sucked

Cracking Vid!

awesome shirt

That is soooo cool!!

I'll have to do this.

@alexlouder What's wrong with zoos? They do a lot of conservation work in animals' natural habitats. I know where I live, a wolf species had gone extinct in the wild, but thanks to breeding programs in zoos, they've been able to reintroduce a population back into the wild, and the population is doing very well.

that was way cool. Your a very smart person

I want to see more ;)

See, evolution at its finest. This is where we got our vanity from, people.

The newbs are coming.

Thus we witness the origins of consciousness, tools & the
*evilution* of the species.

That was so cool!!!

Cool video

@edcatlett ah ... I just paid more attention and saw the disclaimer where you realize your mistake.

That's awesome!

dude. that is sweet!

Well done! Thats smart as hell! Faith in Humanity restored haha

@goatsmilk234 if you read the annotation he says that

You won me over with this video!

So aren't they seeing video at the beginning, but just the mirror once that's rigged up?
