Watch Amazing Video As Seagull Flies Off With Filmmaker’s Camera, Tape Rolling

Okay, I know we’ll find out in a day or so it was all a hoax, but for right now, can we all just enjoy this awesome clip? Here’s your setup: a filmmaker in Cannes (where they have some sort of talking movie festival) has a small video camera on the ground and rolling. The guy chuckles as a seagull walks up to check out the camera, but–TWIST!–he’s a camera-snatching gull! The bird grabs the guy’s camera and flies off, capturing some amazing aerial shots of France as he powers his way through the sky and makes a fine landing on a rooftop, squawking at his successful heist.

Again, I realize anything this cool almost guarantees an internet buzzkill within 48 hours. But for right now, check this the heck out!
