Ok the papers moving off the piano are very easily faked (the camera even moves to the left, you can't see the right side of the piano).
And it's really nice how the video ends abruptly.
Also, the piano playing is of course easily faked, just dub in a sound track to the film.
What I want to know is how did he get the purplish hazy being at the piano? Is there a video feature in software which allows you to "transparency" a person or what? This is the part of the movie which seems like it'd be hard to do.

I would love for it to be real, but as you pointed out, there are just way too many things about it that are suspect. If it is fake, it's very well done. The transparency is actually very easy to do. Just film the same spot twice. Have a person or object there one of the times. Then blend the videos and adjust the transparency level of the one with the person or object.
..the entire frame would have to be filmed twice then? There are many quasi-random things occuring here (the jitter of the camera, the wind blowing the drapes) that it would seem that there'd be lots of "ghostly" things in the picture.
The camera is moving around far too much for the double-filming thing to work. I suppose it could be that a purple-haze was added in a movie editor, though that would be much more difficult. The more I think about it, the harder this is to debunk. However, those suspect things make it hard to "suspend disbelief," especially the fact that the movie ends abruptly immediately after the action stops.
It's sad that we have to put so much effort into figuring out if it's real or not. There are just so many fake videos going around these days. It would certainly be an awesome video if it were real.
