Zbor Palilula Niš Niš Fortress
Camera positions

At least three positions

Each video has a filming point and a camera direction. The sightlines from all positions meet at the same place on the rampart — for an AI fabrication to be convincing, the same fire would have to look consistent from each of these points: the same size, in the same place, with the same smoke and at the same time.

The sightlines intersect
The sightlines of all 18 videos intersect at one point on the southern rampart of the Fortress, within ±15 m — from different places they all film the same flames.
The filming point and camera direction of every video were set by hand by the Assembly on satellite imagery, using landmarks visible in the videos (accurate to within a few metres). If you know the exact spot of a video, let us know — we will correct it.
AEmbankment, east of the Fortress Bridge

Landmarks: South bank of the Nišava, looking north-west across the river: the lit Fortress Bridge at the left edge, embankment terraces, fireworks above the Fortress, red flares and flames along the rampart.

Position of the earliest video (19:30:02). Cameras face north-west (≈ 319–333°).

BFortress Bridge and King Milan Square

Landmarks: The crowd on the southern part of the Fortress Bridge and King Milan Square, where the rally ended: a lamp post with a coiled cable (ring), a blue square sign, flags; across the river, flames along the top of the rampart and red flare smoke.

Most posts come from here, but reposts, screen recordings and stills of the original are not counted as separate angles. Cameras face north (≈ 0–22°).

CFortress Bridge, northern part

Landmarks: Closer to the rampart, on the northern part of the bridge: a round crenellated stone tower on the left, a traffic light and a lamp post, flames along the wall on the right.

The closest position, about 30 m north of position B; cameras face north-east (≈ 31–32°).
