The video of the flight just screams fake, it's like the uncanny valley feeling. You just know something is wrong with what you're watching. Almost there though, all very elaborate.
For me it's the 'inspirational' music.
If he really has the power to weight ratio of a bird, which I doubt as he doesn't have hollow bones and chest muscles that are half the volume of his torso, he wouldn't need to ridiculous music to sell his dream.

It turns out that this is a hoax. I feel like an idiot now, I wish there was a way to delete this submission.
But to think that they were able to fool so many people is pretty amazing.
