If one were moderately skillful and wanted to hoax, I wonder what kind of setup would let one make this video as "proof". What kind of "funnel" would you need?

  The near-perfectly-straight vertical division in the video would seem to make it particularly easy to fake, especially when combined with the fact that you don't see the other side of the door. He can just shoot 7 consecutive arrows at the back of a door, then leave the camera running as he shoots 7 consecutive arrows through the keyhole (with the tip starting out in the keyhole so he can't miss), and then composite the footage of the arrows going through the keyhole on to the footage of the arrows coming out of the bow. The time gaps in between the arrows will be different, but nothing much is happening to the back of the door during this time, so you can just slow down or speed up the "back of door" footage during the dead time to line it up. (I'm not saying he's done that -- I think it's real -- but that is how I would do it). I'm not sure about the audio, but it doesn't seem too much of a stretch to fake the audio as well.

    Audio is easy - and captain dissolution could easily fake this particular video - but faking it in person would be much harder. The real proof is all the other videos of Lars doing absolutely insane things.
