A lil somethin
.

Take a look at this. And maybe this. You probably don't have that much patience, so you're most likely only gonna watch the first couple seconds or so.


















Now, what if I tell you that none of it is real? None of it.
It's all CGI. You're gonna watch the entire thing now, aren't you?


Pretty amazing isn't it? Soooo much detail. The guy sure has a ton of talent. And patience. I can't imagine how many months that took to render, especially the longer video.

Computer generated imagery. Basically, he drew/rendered that entire video from scratch (maybe a few stock images) on a computer.

My definition may not be entirely accurate, so you may want to check Wikipedia.

Also keep in mind that he may have also developed a particle physics engine to get the fruit splatter to react to realistically. When you take that into account, plus the camera angles and focus, it is really mind blowing.

EDIT: here's an except from Wikipedia, in case you don't wanna actually read up on it.

CGI is used for visual effects because computer generated effects are more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows the creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology. It can also allow a single graphic artist to produce such content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props.
