It's kind of like those emails I get from computer companies advertising a "crisp, clear HD screen" and then a photo below to show it off.

I'll be brief.
The piece looked like a working rehearsal of the process. For my withered, old sensibilities it was a visually un-interesting piece. There was no content, just a 'proof' of a CG/ live action effect idea. As for the technology, it looked like a fine compositing job done with a set of video loops. It really didn't excite the little lame creative visual artist in me who has been working as a creative professional for the last 31 years, just didn't impress me.
So, extremely lame I be, thanks for pointing that out.]]>Nov 11th 2008 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/
I wasn't judging you as much as showing you how really useless your first comment was. Your comment was nothing but a working rehearsal of the process. For my withered, old sensibilities it sounded like un-interesting talk. There was no content, just a 'proof' of a Trolling/ not cool action or idea.

But thank you anyways.]]>Nov 11th 2008 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/And it was.]]>Nov 11th 2008 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/Nov 11th 2008 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/Here's the CBC streaming player http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Crystal-Castles/Air-War/]]>Nov 11th 2008 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/http://music.download.com/crystalcastles/3600-8362_32-101111983.html .]]>Nov 11th 2008 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/toshibas-timesculpture-ad-is-bullet-time-meets-feist-or-some/I'm a sucker for the numbers.

Nope. 200 cameras used. To "brush" out the cameras, they cut the circular rig in half, and filmed the blank canvas room without the rig 360.....genius, really.

They take other chiptune artists songs, lay some very basic preset 8bit synth parts over it, and try to pass them off as their own.
They have been caught on many occasion and always try to weasel out of it.
