I think it's about time we abandoned...Dear all,<br />I think it's about time we abandoned the discussion about whether or not that's Paul McCartney walking by in the "walrus" scene. I think Mike has been privy to the information, either by someone working on the shot that day or someone who knew someone who was involved in the filming. And without revealing his sources, all he can support his information with, are the comparison shots he has provided us with. As this, as Mike says, is now an inside joke among the Beatles themselves (now sadly only Paul and Ringo), no one in the production crew is going to come clean about it, that can only be Paul's own privilege, should he wish to. Either by having been asked specifically about it, or as a revelation in some future documentary. No amount of photographic comparison is going to convince the nay sayers, as the distorted image of the person walking by is anything but conclusive - and probably was done this way on purpose. So instead of discussing this subject further, I suggest we concentrate on Mike's wonderful research about George's promotional films and music videos - he has done a great job here. <br /><br />I remember that back in the day when there was talk about a soundtrack album to accompany the "Shanghai Surprise" film, there was a Norwegian TV programme which had music in films as it's theme, and they actually showed about a minute of the "Shanghai Surprise" promo. This was before the idea of a soundtrack album was scrapped, due to the commercial failure of the film, and around the same time that a promo 45 with the title track was being sent out to people in the industry. As you know, when the soundtrack album was abandoned, the songs were instead recycled by George to end up on his comeback "Cloud Nine" album, and the full promotional video for "Shanghai Surprise" was not broadcast in public again until years later.wogewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078163786060701898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695919221523064440.post-55164379716785338332016-08-24T22:54:05.542+02:002016-08-24T22:54:05.542+02:00I agree it looks remarkably like his hair, and his...I agree it looks remarkably like his hair, and his cheekbone, and his walk. I never said otherwise. I am looking at a much better quality video than these captures show, and I agree. That looks LIKE McCartney... remarkably.<br /><br />What I am looking for is not more screen captures, but instead actual evidence. It was said that "Director Kevin Godley...managed to film him on a different day and year...and include THAT over the FAB video." Where does this statement come from, would be more of an answer to my question. Does he state this in an interview? If so, where? I'm happy to believe. But I do insist on some sort of actual evidence. <br /><br />I'm not even insinuating that anyone here needs to prove it to me. I'm just telling you that I am skeptical until I see evidence beyond screen capture "looks like him" comparisons.<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291021338391037573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695919221523064440.post-41405522707007939462016-08-24T20:01:58.125+02:002016-08-24T20:01:58.125+02:00Haha...

I do ...Hey Mary, thanks for attempting to clarify. I do understand they are not talking about the guy in the Walrus suit.<br /><br />What I am saying is, if real footage of Paul McCartney was used in the video, he would have known about it and would have had to agree to it. (Even if it does look remarkably like his hair, cheekbone and walk to the point where a good many people are fooled by it.) I consider his personal recollection to be an excellent source in the matter. He says he was asked, but that he does not appear in the video. Additionally, knowing how these things work, if they had used footage of the real McCartney, we'd be seeing his face as clearly as we do with the others, like we do with Ringo and Elton, etc. There just is no doubt that Paul would be aware of it, and he says he's not in the video. If there is actual contrary evidence to put up against what McCartney remembers about it, other than it looking remarkably like him, I'm definitely open-minded about considering it, I just haven't seen any of that evidence yet.

All copies going around online are sourced from that off-air broadcast recorded onto VHS tape. So you have something that didn't look that good to begin with, captured on a dodgy format.<br /><br />But a first generation VHS copy (which I have), does look better than the low-res YouTube version that's available at the moment. The video uses a soft focus effect to make it seem more "romantic". This does not work with the old school YouTube compression standard (the video was uploaded in 2008). Which is why it's a muddy looking mess.<br />Fred Nerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979311309172425758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695919221523064440.post-25777061367329815752016-08-23T01:50:33.751+02:002016-08-23T01:50:33.751+02:00Nice article and interesting info.

I'm trying to imagine a scenario where Paul consents to be included in a music video, and then you don't actually see his face. I'm certainly willing to yield if there is documentation that Paul was definitely included in the festivities.. but if we are just talking about what it "looks" like... I'd say they got someone how looks a bit like him from that angle. I mean, we see hair and a cheekbone. That's pretty easy to do a stand-in for. I can see why they would stick a surreal likeness of him in there during the Walrus shot. <br /><br />I'm perfectly willing to believe otherwise if there is documentation, or actual word from someone who involved. (I certainly don't assume I know better, at all, and I really don't think it looks like Bob.) But why wouldn't we see at least a momentarily clear shot of his face for 2 frames? The video was obviously very carefully assembled... and we see Elton just fine.<br /><br />Paul himself seems to believe that he was not actually included in the video, but just his likeness.
