What I don’t like is that the lighting on the tree in the lower left seems to be coming from the wrong side of the tree.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

It’s badly done. The lightning casts no shadows, and it does not wash out the existing shadows cast by the house lights. Except in the area immediately surrounding the strike itself, all it does is tamper with the brightness/contrast settings of the underlying frame.
You can even see the supposed “victim’s” shadow on the ground beyond the bolt!
Their mistake was that the put the flash in the wrong place. It appears to have been located on the lower right, They should have put it over the person.
Is the camera mounted on a white building? Reflections.
The umbrellas imply rain.
The victim is wet, it’s water not a shadow.
Posts bottom left have a shadow from light behind the lens. The shadow gets sharper as light behind viewer is flashed. If the flash was from the lightning then that shadow would be off to the left.
There’s no extra physical flash at all, it’s all been done digitally after filming. Try it yourself, take the frame from just before the strike and play with it in an image editor – you’ll get something very like the “strike” frame, just without the faked strike itself.
Dollars to donuts says that the original unedited film simply shows someone falling over twice. Then for each of the frames where he falls, they’ve jacked up the brightness and contrast of the frame and then drawn in the lightning bolts.
(and the scorch marks on the ground)
Lightning striking twice? Maybe not even once – Technology & science – Science – LiveScience – msnbc.com

A new viral video shows a man getting struck by lightning during a rainstorm. The bright flash knocks him flat and scorches the ground beneath him. For about a minute, he’s out cold. Then his leg twitches, he comes to, rolls over, stands up and walks away. A few seconds later, he is struck again. And, again, a few seconds after that, he recovers.
However, lightning experts say the video, which appears to be security camera footage, is very likely a hoax.
