8. I don't know, but somebody always says "it's fake."

I put pictures up because I think they are interesting or inspirational, not because they are real or not fake.

Someone once commented on a picture painted by one of the great impressionists (I can't recall who) saying that it did not look like a woman. His reply: "It is not a woman. It is a painting."

. . . Now somebody is going probably going to tell me that that anecdote is fake.

5. I've read that the only thing holding the producers back is who owns the rights to their images.

Royalties will still be needed to be paid as many are copyrighted.

I suppose eventually those rights will expire.

All done in sepia tones.

The need to pay $20 million a pop to a live actor will come to an end.

11. CGI is good, but not that good. It works best in motion, not stills.

Example: In Terminator III they built a special building for Aaahnold to crash through on the end of the crane. When the crane truck subsequently flipped over, that was ENTIRELY CGI. Pause the movie at any point and you can tell. In motion, it looks completely real.

Dogs are one of the hardest things to fake because of their leg structure (and yes, I consider a fox to be a dog in that respect). That's a real fox.

10. Why would you claim that's fake? The shadows are all correct.

I've seen many similar scenes, but usually with chipmonks instead of a fox. Looks totally real.

12. Lots of setup with a pet fox, a bit of peanut butter, and some color and contrast enhancements.

That's how I'd do it.

Wouldn't be so much fun putting it all together from a bunch of computer models.
