This guy has no surfboard? Explain this to me.
« on: November 18, 2017, 09:13:38 PM »
Starting at :56 to 1:08 it appears these guys are riding invisible surfboards.  Is this edited somehow?  Or some new surfing tech? Some sort of foil? What am I seeing here?

You know Batman isn't real, right?

(Sorry, I had to, man.)

But if you knew what we can do in film now it would blow your mind.

But check this out and geek out a while on their other videos (especially the Virtual Backlot.). Most shows you see shooting outdoors in NYC are actually in LA and often on a soundstage, even when you think it would be easier to shoot it for real.

Lol

But seriously, every 5 years or so what can be done "on the cheap" gets crazier so whereas a few years ago you'd never see CGI in a surf clip, more and more we will.

Batman WAS real.  But he died and is buried in in a cemetery near me.
