then you dont know much about 3d animation and effects programs or gaming.
even if this is done by a computer program, its not something simple, and the computer which has done it needs to be quite powerful.
this kind of effects, shading, lighting is not found even in big hollywood productions.
yet you concluded it was a 'bad computer program'.
there are gamers who would like to give an arm and a leg to play a game like this.
Quote:My first guess would be that various images were superimposed, but I fall just short of saying that someone tied a strobe light to a sting and ran it across a stock photo. The camera doesn't even follow the UFO, and there's no reaction from the recorder. Would someone really film a cityscape for no reason, then not miss a beat when a huge UFO flew in from the corner of the screen? The way it drops down from the top left corner is almost comical. For someone with the smarts to glue this together, you'd think they'd have had the sense to follow through and make it seem realistic.
and do you know with what it was shot ? do you think every video on the planet need to be shot with shaky cellphones ?
what if the guy was an astronomer and was using a camera-equipped telescope ? what if he was a photographer with a digital camera ?
however you are indeed right - someone making such a fine fake with impossible to attain shadow and lighting, would be smart enough to include all the things you mention to prevent people thinking it was fake. leave that aside, a computer program on the level that could do such a thing (not to mention required hardware) would be able to introduce such effects itself.
yet, as you see, none of those have been done. its a still shot of something moving.
