Wow, it turns out that the EzekielThreeThirty3 guy who was making the countdown videos on Youtube was actually a guerilla documentary filmmaker and along with his other filmmaker, a Canadian girl, were actually using the opportunity to document the final days with Camping and his followers with direct access that others wouldn't have.

When you go back and watch all the videos in context, it begins to make sense now how they are structured, why the music plays in certain parts, how they are cut and edited, and why many of the segments do nothing to hide the zaniness of some of the followers in this organization.

Great job to this guy. He didn't make these videos with malicious intent, but rather to document the movement and Camping himself. I love the fact that the filmmakers are so knowledgeable and respectful with the material and are able to intelligently rebut and give an explanation for why such things happen. They are atheists but have a firmer grasp of the Bible and theology than Camping himself does. Zeke's explanation for Camping's behavior and pattern of reasoning is perfect - that Camping had raised his exegesis to the point of scripture and that examining books of the Bible in the entire context of the Bible actually takes the book out of context immediately.

This guy should win an award if not for the fact that some of his videos may have unwittingly played a part in spreading Camping's message, causing harm to those who believed in it.
