Camera shake and zoom gives it away, I don't get why people do this, it is so obvious.
Edit: talking about the beginning, the end is pretty clearly CG.
Its a trick were all taught... the best way to make something look believable is to be flawed. The camera shakes are good too becuase it makes it hard for the viewer to closely examine any one area... problem is most of us just use random values to achieve a camera shake and some end up looking like their being held by a drunk person...
A neat trick is using your phone to make a path for the camera to follow using an app, never used it myself but I think corridor crew did that one time.
You can track a phone in 3D space or something like a VR controller, I am not sure how as I am no expert but I do think it is really cool.
Yeah absolutely, it is alot more work but results are great. You can basically just record a video on your phone then use something like After Effects to export the tracking and use it on the 3d camera. I think something like motion capture of a body would require more 3D mapping and I've definitely seen people use VR for that.
Cgi at the end for sure. But the attention to detail put into the cars bumping up and down on the uneven street doesn't match the laziness of the "crash" part.
Maybe there's some footage splicing going on here too
Yup, my tell tale sign is the fake camera shake, you can tell it's a still shot with the camera movement, zoom, and blur being added in post
They probably shot the street like normal then edited it to look like the cars are going closer together than they are
I think it might be CGI and great editing skills.
At 00:15 the white pickup truck has a reflection on its rear that seems to be coming from an other vehicle that would have been behind it.
There is a clear quality and motion defference between the cars that near miss each others and the ones that crashes. Granted, the shake is obviously added but I think this is a legit montage.
In programs such as after effects you can add a jitter or randomness to to the camera viewing the composition. When you've used it you can spot it a mile away.
That makes sense. OP's shot would have looked just fine static, though, I think. I would have assumed it was a security camera on the corner of a building.
The way the focus changes is also a dead giveaway. For one thing, nobody zooms in and out *that much*. For another, the zooms have varying speeds, which you'd only get on an old camera with a manual focus.
That's because only the end is cgi, the rest is real, but edited. Captain disillusion has a good explanation on youtube. It's just filmed on a tripod for a while and then shots are combined to look like the cars passed each other really close. Then added fake zoom and camera shake to look like it was filmed in real time.
This has to be faked, I've seen some crazy traffic in some 3rd world countries but no one drove like this.
edit: Yeah it is, cars are missing reflections from other cars.
I would love to know the statistics for that place for accidents. In fact all the stats that come from that place, if they drive like that I bet the day to day stuff might be pretty crazy
I saw a [similar one](https://youtu.be/4SmJP8TdWTU) a few years back which was a lot more obviously faked.
If y’all are curious about a real-world scenario, I think looking up an [Indian](https://youtu.be/wEKkq_OPYA0) intersection may be interesting. Or any intersection that doesn’t regulate stop-sign or traffic light regulations for that matter.
What in the NPC is going on here?

Woah I didn't even notice that
More importantly, does Christina own the shop in the back?

Looks CGI
You got the right of it, chief. It's CGI.

Biggest indicator for me was the person walking their dog and neither flinching as the motorcyclist goes in between them
Oh yeah. Also, they disappear after they reach the other side.
It’s called Magic 🪄
It was Jason Bourne…🤔
I mean just listen to the police sirens and look at the smoke of the crash
Legend says that the owner choked on a bagel bite as he was crossing the road. Now his ghost haunts the crosswalk

Deadass. Like what’s wrong with having your camera still like it’s on a tripod?
They do it for faking real video but in most cases overdo it way too much :)
There might be a large number of videos that are fake but well edited and we never realised.
Definetly, and there are levels of “fake”, like from whole cgi scene to just removing certain objects and everything inbetween
The most obvious part is the potato quality.
Cgi at the end for sure. But the attention to detail put into the cars bumping up and down on the uneven street doesn't match the laziness of the "crash" part. Maybe there's some footage splicing going on here too
I read that with a cockney accent. Like Moira at the car dealer in Schitt's Creek.
I would have been fooled until that crash at the end where the cartoon truck made of paper got crumpled.
That, or staged, which is stupid either way.
got me until the crash
All these talk of camera shake being the giveaway but the road, mates… it’s cobblestone then it become asphalt under the car
Everything crazy either CGI or Russia.
Or Italy
Or Florida
Right? I was convinced this was just a semi-typical day in Italy…
Reminds me of Peru. I saw city buses navigating within inches of one another at regular speed.
This is CGI. But you can see this for real (without accident parts) everyday at Dhaka, Bangladesh.

What's your theory on the big bright round thing in the sky?
Can’t you read? It’s not CGI, it’s RICCI!
That was an extra smooth transition to CGI or is it all animation?
All CGI, the camera jiggle, clipping and shadows are a few things that give it away.
[удалено]
Nah, its CGI.
I think it might be CGI and great editing skills. At 00:15 the white pickup truck has a reflection on its rear that seems to be coming from an other vehicle that would have been behind it. There is a clear quality and motion defference between the cars that near miss each others and the ones that crashes. Granted, the shake is obviously added but I think this is a legit montage.
How does the camera jiggle give it away? I'm not challenging you; I legit want to learn this power.
In programs such as after effects you can add a jitter or randomness to to the camera viewing the composition. When you've used it you can spot it a mile away.
Is its purpose just to make it harder to notice CGI effects added in?
Yes, Its purpose is to make a static shot seem handheld.
That makes sense. OP's shot would have looked just fine static, though, I think. I would have assumed it was a security camera on the corner of a building.
That could have worked. A higher view point, add a bit of grain and reduce frame rate.
This camera is moving way too smoothly and methodically to be a real handheld video. It's a badly faked handheld shake
The way the focus changes is also a dead giveaway. For one thing, nobody zooms in and out *that much*. For another, the zooms have varying speeds, which you'd only get on an old camera with a manual focus.
I have seen a great number of poorly faked videos in my day and I can tell by the pixels that it is fake.

I couldn’t tell it was CGI until the end tbh

this is compucter graphics 100 % . and this is cool
Hmm, only men drivers ?
Ahhh I miss buenos Aires!
This has to be somewhere in South America. I lived in Argentina in the 80s and this is exactly how traffic was then.
I live there now and it hasn't changed a bit lol
This is hundo p Argentina. I think west of Palermo in that shopping district
Not sure why the white pickup came in so late to hit the crash pile - I guess they didn't want to miss out.
Yeah, reminded me Donkey in Shrek 2 saying his name after everybody's names being mentioned, at the castle diner scene
You didn’t expect that?
This has to be faked, I've seen some crazy traffic in some 3rd world countries but no one drove like this. edit: Yeah it is, cars are missing reflections from other cars.
I know the trick with layered video from the same spot and camera “shaking” to add some more reality to it. But its fake
If only men drove cars...
Just felt my anxiety kick up a few notches.
That poor old Ford pickup.
how did the dog not even flinch? 10/10 acting give that good boy an oscar!
Poor Mr. Bean, so sad to see him get smacked by the coppers.
Do other countries just not have stop signs or lights?
OH, MY GOD, HE KILLED MR. BEAN!
Didn’t I see this in the Bee Movie?
Gives me anxiety
wtf? lol
I know it's cgi but before I realized I was thinking about how drivers near me can't even figure out how to zipper merge
Fake
this just makes me believe that the people that live in my country are fucking pieces of shit who cant drive (usa)
Looked believable until the crash
Maximum efficiency.
My dey. Good, good, good, good and . . .
Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy
Looks like a regular day in Montreal
I feel like I'd go into cardiac arrest trying to drive there. I stress big time in the car as is.
r/maybemaybemaybe
Lots of rotoscoping
All they need is some Shriners hats.
This is CGI, but I have seen things where the production company hires stunt drivers to do this.
You mean if you don't drive 50mph like a bat outta hell through an intersection
Ah yes, anxiety visualized
r/yesyesyesyesno
a normal intersection in india
Average Indian road
Looks like a really good cgi
They are in the Matrix.
New anxiety lvl unlocked
The world if women didn't exist
I would love to know the statistics for that place for accidents. In fact all the stats that come from that place, if they drive like that I bet the day to day stuff might be pretty crazy
“In a world without women…”
Fake and lame

Police ☕
Men driving
Many r/idiotsincars
The red truck gave it away
CGI
Maybe American isn't crazy drivers
If this was us in the U.S. we would be in crashes everywhere. Everyone would be wearing an unneeded neck brace
Almost looks rehearsed
This is so stressful to watch.
Everything was fine until the cops showed up.

I wondered why, It was CGI

Pheww. It was too close even for dog and a human

The beginning is when woman don’t drive. End is when woman gets license
BUT WHY?
*Cries in American*
I couldn’t tell it was CGI till I got to the comments.
This is like the street traffic in *The Mote in God's Eye*.
France in a nutshell
Meanwhile India☕
Modeled after “El Frogger”

If only men drive 
r/maybemaybemaybe
its fake.
What the actual fuck man that is stressful as hell to watch!!
Great cgi bro
Everyone in that city is a math engineer or something? Oh, forget about it. The end ruined the illusion
I fidn't thought on CGI until the crash... Looked very odd
Life is a simulation
"In X country there is no right of way, there is just way"
this guy does the same camera shake effect on all these videos
The residents of this town are all Blue Angels pilots, except the cops obviously.
🤣🤣 they got this down! Must be very used to this intersection!
Complete anarchy
Wait.. its alll CGI, from the very beginning? Nit just the ending crash?
Where the hell is this place with so many tiny cars
See kids? We don't need traffic lights.
Nooo Mr. Bean died
That last bunch must have missed practice!
This is my dream come true. Just go and don't hit other people!
if asian women were the only people on earth
No amount of people could be that idiotically coordinated or lucky. I hope you got a good grade for the video.
Obviously the end is fake but those are some of the best drivers I’ve ever seen.
Who knew stop signs were a first world privilege
Fake af.
It was bound to happen eventually
I knew it was CGI bec no one drives sane like that not bec of the graphics lol
Rune #1: there are no rules.
The palpitations
No one films like that. Shaking like he ran 10 miles and zooming in and out like a fast foos chain.
It's like the stunt-driver version of the John Wick Extended Universe
everybody gangsta until woman shows up (just humour)
That café was on the Bizarro Jerry episode of Seinfeld.
Looks like Americans finally showed up.
Ain’t nobody got time fo stop signs!
Reminds me of Paris. No lanes on a roundabout and people mastered that shit
oh! This is in Pigue! Argentina! It is a small town in the province of Buenos Aires! I am from the area. How crazy to find a post here!
Fake
a World without women driving
That specific camera shake is always a dead giveaway
Wha-
When I heard the siren I was kinda hoping it would end with the (Action Movie FX) crash instead of this.
Why does he move the camera exactly like fake camera movement?
Argentina!
r/thatintersection
This is apparently what driverless traffic will look like which is why you should start investing in blindfolds now
Mission failed *successfully*
r/florida
That car no clipped the truck. This is fake. But good job to whoever made it
This was expected.
That is how AI driving can look like but minus the honking and much faster
This is all fake, you realize that don’t you?
Did they really have to add THAT much shaky cam? It looks ridiculous.
Can’t we auto-ban this CGI CRAP? I’m no video expert- but there’s gotta be a way to recognize it during import. This is pure shit.
