My job involves shooting and editing video and computer graphics, so I know a little about where I speak. If this guy is trying to emulate the capabilities of 50′s shlock sci-fi, movies, he’s got it down cold. Bravo! If not, get him some real tools and training, then see what he can do because while this looks like crap, he’s got a lot of desire and heart. Or something.
The best part is I see demo reels everyday by the dozens that are worse and they come from people who hold degrees in Art/Animation/Design. That is because a lot of the schools (not the good ones) don’t teach Art or Animation or Design. They teach software. This kid obviously has no training and is self taught but his work is no worse than tons of people that do.

that is truly sad
Running it at 25% speed really added a lot. In fact it made it 400% longer!
Throw in a few 3-D effects, and you’ve got a blockbuster on your hands!
Syfy channel is calling. Just add some women is bikinis and wrestling afterwards and we have a hit.
Wonderful.
Sadly, I think this is real. I noticed most, if not all, of the affects came from some video software program I had years ago that did one off effects, (smoke, fire, water,etc).
I bet he got ahold of that basic software and just made the most, or least, of it.
After 2 years (judging from the dates shown on-screen) he increased his technique from “absolutely horrible” to just “very, very bad.” Wouldn’t you tend to use this time to hone your skills a bit? SHEESH!
This is what happens when you use the ‘free’ After Effects Warez edition and you think you have talent.
or…
This guy is a 26 year old Egyptian viral video making comic genius.
I’m going against conventional thought here and will say he made it as a joke just so people can watch the train wreck and get the view count up
