This simply
has to stop. With the CGI technology we have these days, any single video you could possibly watch anywhere
ever could at
least be manipulated with CGI, if not completely artificially generated using CGI.
Take a moment to think about that - every single video you will ever see
could be CGI. Therefore the 'we can do this with CGI so it must be
fake' argument goes right out the window.
Maybe it's CGI - break the video down and show us the different elements that you feel were composited to create the final comped shot. Show us how
we can see that they didn't use a garbage matte. Show us an incorrectly aligned horizon or incorrect shadows. Then I'll consider that the clip might
be CGI. But people need to stop saying 'we can do this with CGI so it must be CGI'. We can do
everything with CGI!!
I don't really feel like this is a particularly compelling video either - but I agree with the other posters that it is hoaxed with a physical effect
rather than a visual effect.
And think before you scream 'CGI'! If a poster claims a video is real they need to provide evidence for that claim. Likewise, if a poster claims a
video is CGI they too need to provide evidence for that claim. 'We have the technology' is not evidence.
