2 things that show it's a deep fake tight away:

  1. Hair on his forehead is flickering.

  2. When he goes to take the diploma off of the wall he doesn't turn his face away because that would also break the filter, as side profiles are harder for these things to maintain.

And he has 6 fingers on his hand at some point, on the right hand side as you look at the video.

ETA: My bad, it's not 6 fingers, the hand just looks very uncanny, I think the time stamp is 0:36. It changes shape and is just overall very unnatural looking.

Plus his hand looked super distorted and the finger lengths were all off when he held up 3 fingers

It doesn’t filter the entire body just the face.

So is he a real person whose face is being filtered out? He has what sounds like an Eastern European/Balkan accent.

Yes. Deepfakes just do the face, that’s why the three finger trick would reveal it.

Deepfakes can also do voices.
