First time I've seen it, but it looks pretty much CGI. And the video is way too long to qualify for entertainment value... Nearly 2 minutes of
watching other people's children?!

I Call Hoax. First it is the fall of the year after the first frost. Apparent from apples on the ground, and children in jackets. There are no other
insects around. The nest appears to be an old hornets nest. No one would go anywhere near it unless it was dormant. I think it is a photoshopped bug
based off of a damselfly or dragonfly. It also appears to be a bit too staged.

I don't know, that bug thing looks real to me. However, it looks like something out of a movie.

I think it's been cut and pasted from Pan's Labyrinth, I'm near enough certain that that's where it's from.

It's worth watching the whole trailer, but the funky little insect thing crops up around 0:50

Call me naive, but I thought it looked pretty real and pretty scary too. It does seem odd though that they show so much film before the big moment.

The easiest tell tale sign, besides the fact that it's a flying fairy, is the relative smoothness of the object in question in relation to the rest
of the video. It moves too easily, as though it's following an 'imaginary' path of where to fly.
It lacked all the jerkiness and stop/go motions you get from real flying insects who's flight processes must battle wind resistence, lift-to-weight
ratios and gravity.
This thing just moved... well, like it wasn't affected by any of that.
It's purely CGI. Once these people incorporate real flight mechanics into their CGI clips, then we might get more believable fakes

If it's CGI, it's a pretty damn decent job - lot of moving, panning and rotating of the camera going on, as well as a very unambiguous atmosphere of
light (e.g. silhouetty, but with features nonetheless). So in a way, I'm expecting someone to claim this work - who would spend his apparently
trained hours on a video that doesn't bring him fame? Maybe it's part of someone's CGI demo-reel, and they want to make a hype before they claim
the fame, so to speak.
It's not something any one of us could do in an afternoon, is my point

I agree that it's faked. Done well though!
The main problem I have with these videos (this one and other similar ones) is the way that the people always run away after discovering something
interesting. They show pretty ordinary things for a while to set the scene - in this case children showing objects in the garden. Then there's a
discovery and then they all run away and it just finishes.
I think if you actually found a little humanoid with wings you'd carry on filming, maybe try and interact with it in some way. It wasn't threatening
the cameraman or his children - it just flew up in the air. I'm sure you'd be wary - but running away? Bit convenient.

Hahahahahaa Fake!!! If we could get the original file or a uncompressed version then we might be able to see the creature better, is too easy to
reduce the quality of the footage and say its real.

If it were real, I'm pretty sure the cameraman would shake the camera way more when it moves, especially since he is so scared that he runs away...

Even the cameraman's "groan of disgust and fear" at the end of the clip, sounded fake.
I know that if I found some little fairy buzzing towards my head, I'd scream out like a little girl, with a few obscenities added in there.

There are quite some flying rc toys on the market nowadays btw - is it possible it's not CGI but just a new toy we haven't seen yet? For
something's sake, they got flying barbies nowadays..
