I knew immediately I was going to talk about Joe Pease with this prompt because I went through a minor obsession phase with his work. His work is pretty much entirely illusory video edits and overlays. My understanding is that he takes pretty average stock-photo-passing-video and overlays a set of them to create false interaction between the subjects. At some point, false camera movement and grain are added which makes the fake interactions look more realistic, along with adding a CCTV or candid quality to the piece. I’m going to link to his Instagram for the videos which are better than the lazy still I’m including:
