What’s Real and What’s Not?

Find yourself 4 minutes and watch the video below, from Stargate Studios. My jaw was dropping watching this. It was found via The Anchoress, that remarked that “this video made her sad”. Don’t worry, though — even though I get where’s she’s coming from, I think it causes surprise more than sadness.

So here’s the sadness part: in the past, I thought I could tell what was “real” and what was not on TV shows. It was either stuff that didn’t look real (Shrek) or stuff that was obviously too expensive to do in real life (scenes of major natural disaster). Now? Not so much. So, when do you think they’ll start doing this with people? 10 years? 15?
