Where you stand determines what you see

8 January 2010 by , 4 Comments

Hi Guys,

I have always believed it to be true that where you stand determines what you see. Thus, I think it’s a radical discipleship practice to stand with those without the power.

Below is the ICR’s Video of the crash and then below that the Sea Shepherd’s Video of the crash.

Both are using the footage of the same incident to back up their own position.

What do you think?

    I think that the ICR’s clip is unintentionally deceptive because it’s focused on the Ady Gil from the other moving ship, so you can’t tell that the ship they’re on is turning because the AG stays roughly in the same spot in the frame. The second clip starts early enough and is relatively still so that you can see the Japanese ship distinctly turn directly towards them.

    What a joke.

    Hey melbourne peeps, there is a gathering to support sea shepherd 1pm Sunday 10, Japanese Embassy cnr Elizabeth and Lt Londsdale st City. Spread the word.

    Yep Rus, I think the distance of sea shepherd shows the turn but also the ICR clip shows them continuing to hose the activists even after the crash.

    Interesting. Point of view certainly matters.
    What i noticed is that as the japanese boat gets closer to its port side, the trimaran starts moving forwards! You can see the white water pick up behind the stern. Ihave no idea why they would do that. Reverse thrust might have been good.
    Contrary to what the sea shepherd says, the japanese boat moves to turn across its bow before this happens, and the movement brings them into collision.
    I do not support ‘cretacean reserach’ but I think Sea Shepherd has spun too far on this one.

    That is interesting.

    Hey can anyone tell us what the camera man is saying?
    Is it roughly “Got them!” or roughly “whoops! That’s not good.”
