But I have worked with film and video going back to the pre digital days. And the way this appears jumped out at me immediately as hinky. I can't recreate that frame unless I have my arm fully extended away from body and then point with my other hand. If I did it normally, you see way more of my hand and It comes in from the side of the frame. The only way to get your fingertip coming in from the bottom of the frame is to not point but carefully place your fingertip under your phone. Try it, see if I'm crazy.
The other thing that jumps out at me is the voices themselves.
There seems like there's authentic audio later in the video. But early in the video you have people who do not sound like they are out of political rally and just notice someone on the roof. I would immediately associate that with danger. They do not act scared. They're not excited. What they sound like is someone describing the video they are watching. Not someone in the scene reacting to their environment.
The woman's voice when she said he's laying on the roof is super super casual.
I think it's just a half ass motion indicating that direction and the camera only caught the fingertip because that's all that was in front of it.
I think they sound fairly alarmed as it was dawning on them something was wrong. It would be sort of a stunning thing to see I imagine. Hard to believe it was happening.

It seems like the alarm and the concern happened later in the video. But not up front.
I was trying to look at it from their POV. We know now that guy's a shooter and that guy is a danger, but would I have in the moment recognized that danger immediately. And I think I probably would.
Like a guy crawling on a roof. Super weird right? Especially if you had to go through security and see police everywhere. Yet, it feels like it takes a while for the alarm bells to go off.
That? You can't imagine his own finger got into the shot for a split second? I think you are overthinking this.
I can certainly imagine it.
