A buddy of mine sent this to me under the heading: "The end of video evidence," which I thought was pretty funny:

I saw this the other day over on ExtraLife. Its amazing! This guy really has the art of motion capture (or whatever the technical term is) down to a science! Look at how the Death Star even reflects the rising or setting sun in one of the shots. Its nuts! Being an old school SW fan this totally made me nerdgasm. =D

Wait until the Palestinians learn how to do this. We'll be inundated with video "evidence" of Israeli tanks firing on Palestinian hospitals and running down people in wheel chairs.

Then, Russian "video" showing Georgians eating Ossetians for supper.

Not all technical advances are a good thing.

This was awesome! The goal of realism has totally been achieved by these guys.

Cute, but the lighting of the Death Star is from the wrong side in the last shot. They shouldn't have panned to the sunset.
