Agreed ragnarok26📼

They said it could be done with a few docen of CG artists and a lot of time. That sounds cheaper than building the robots for real.

Yeah, the risk is just too great for them. If they would get caught, and they would, their reputation would be ruined. And that would mean loss of contracts and thus loss of revenue.

i think if BD would have the means to make CGIs so perfect that nobody can tell its not real anymore not only do they use actual witchcraft but they could just say they did and butter up to disney financially. that said people tend to forget that a lot of things they consider realistic or fake in movies & themeparks etc ironically are animatronics and not cgi. 😬

They're honestly only good at dealing with flat terrain unless they have a full 3D model of the environment, which in those cases they usually won't.

Kicking humans and shooting guns is obviously more desirable than just dancing in perfect sync. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@Ganiscol I think that just plays into people's paranoia and they tend to believe it is real while the dancing robots from a company look to them like a company that wants to desperately prove itself in front of the investors and has actually nothing to prove for. So they fake that stuff. Again it is people's paranoia playing into that. Both cases tell more about the person than the actual videos.

I believe it is more because people are less likely to believe our technology level is there when they see good or silly things but when they see the things that we fear we are more likely to believe it’s possible. It could be a survival instinct that has us more believe in the danger than the entertainment. Why would a business invest so much money on dance numbers when all of us know from movies we watched that the money is made in making technology for the military. So of course the dangerous one would have to be true and the entertainment would have to be faked.

Ask the wrong question. The right question is, why do people have so much confidence in their conclusions when they know nothing about what ever it is those conclusions are about? And have they been exploited? Have you been "hacked"?

Came into this video thinking the exact same thing. Just another example of people thinking they know better than what they’re being told, yet they end up proving that they’re just obsessively paranoid about “questioning” everything they see or are told. And the more logic they have to ignore in order to believe their contrarian view, the more likely they often seem to want to believe it. Like, what’s more logical? Aliens built the pyramids or humans are just good at building things? There’s like a billion times more evidence for the latter, yet so many people just WANT to believe the former. By the same token, what’s more logical? That Boston Dynamics achieved something amazing by tricking us all into believing the best, most advanced and impressively perfect CGI ever created that would have cost more than just building the robots to begin with... or that they just built the damn robots? Like, what would they have to gain by faking it? UKposts cred? A sense of superiority over Hollywood’s CGI capabilities? False advertising lawsuits? Whereas actually building real robots that they can sell, would have a real-world motivation behind it. But I swear, the obsession with conspiracy theorizing these days has really gone off the deep end, and the only motivation people can seem to imagine is that of Bond-villian level evil that just gets a kick out of deceiving the masses for SOME reason... probably “cOmMuniSt” in nature!

exactly! There is no way in heck they could fake it, especially back then. There's also a Mythbusters episode where they test every method available at the time, nothing comes even close.

I think people who think it's fake just don't have an eye for detail.

Like back with CRT monitors, most people couldn't tell the difference between 60Hz and 85Hz, to me it was night and day and 60Hz was just awful to my eyes. Some claim Stanley Kubrick made the moon landing footage, but as amazing as 2001: a Space Odyssey looks, it is nowhere near the moon landing footage.

I literally did my full investigation with sources and all. I still have my eyes lying to me. I think more than anything it's the frame rate and quality of video mixed with the notion that robots couldn't be that advance. The truth is most humans haven't caught up with technology, it's advanced much faster than people could realize.

As an engineer, I would actually feel offended if people said its CG lol

Precise camera movement was achieved with robotics many years ago for mattes to line up in digital effects. Now the walking robots (with crafted paths) are precise enough to fool people into thinking they're fake.

Just a thought. Maybe we are uncomfortable with this reality of robots this advanced, so they subconsciously want to find reason that it isn't real.

thing is they don't actually move every single motor manually for every movement, my guess is they just told the robot where to with some physical constraints, and the control algorithm do the rest to execute the motion of deciding how to move each motors

yeah the floor is what really cements it as real and not CGI. there's moments where the robots' feet sink into the padding toe-first and you can see there is absolutely ZERO CLIPPING when they do this. If anything was gonna clip, it would be there, and there's none. That's *really* hard to get right in CGI with that kind of flooring.

@@TheGuindo Exactly. The more I paid attention to the padding, the more I noticed how each step was slightly different based on the movement of the robot. I guess it could be done, but OMG, the effort required for just a few minutes of video?! When I was writing my earlier comments, I had something tugging at my memory, but just couldn’t recall. Over night it finally resolved itself: Anyone remember the IG-11 (sometimes wrongly referred to as IG-88, from ESB) droid from season 1 of The Mandalorian? Lucasfilm must use linear actuators to animate IG-11 when he walks bc it too demonstrates a very strange, but mechanical walk that appears similar to the BD bots? The episode where IG-11 and the Mando rescue Baby Yoda (or, Grogu) after a big shootout shows quite a few frames of IG-11 walking and it’s a bit creepy because it’s a very unhuman way of walking. The joints and limbs are just off, which probably demonstrates how it’s actually a practical effect vs CG. Now that I’m thinking about it, the Book of Boba Fett is only a few months away! Favs & Filoni have really knocked it out of the park with The Mandalorian, and hopefully the new Boba Fett series! We live in interesting times.

That's the only response you got? *Not How Dangerous These Robots Are To People?*

@@lonniedobbins1195 Was this intended as irony?

Why is there so many question marks in sentences that were meant to be assertions?

I knew I had a deja vu watching this vid, the whole moon landing thing is what it was

But the Moon landing WAS fake, they just had to film it on the Moon!

@@davisdf3064 yeah NASA was all "I mean sure we can fake it for you, but in order to make it look convincing we gotta go to the actual location"

@@aaronwestley3239 No no, I don't think you understand. It is WAAAAY cheaper to film it on sight than to CGI the whole thing, have you *SEEN* the pricing on that?? I mean, a movie bought a whole dang cargo jet to crash into a hangar because it was cheaper than having it be CGI lol.

Really! I loved those comments. Some of them are so extremely confident in their wrong opinion. It's hilarious.

@@tuschman168 Fair enough lol. Some of the jokey comments were great too. Like the "we know it's just Clint again" one

yeah, really. There was a guy so persistent that this was CGI and he pointed out how real Corridor video is compare to Boston's one I really want to say that he is a dumb a** but it will be rude

@@shanghoang3302 just do it. Sometimes you need to have just a short moment of rudeness (thats totally not a word) to get it through their thick skull

If someone is committed enough in their beliefs, nothing will swing them back to reality.

They do use CGI in those movies, particularly in the crowd shots of the film that came after it that I can't remember the name of but it involved cheese and the villain exploding after eating too much. Boxtrolls possibly? But yeah I would love to see them look at that company's films.

@@MrGamelover23 Yeah that’s The Boxtrolls. LAIKA tries to do as much as possible in camera but some backgrounds and some crowd shots just need to be done in CG

Ariel Kanterewicz Lmao, _I _*_too_* thought it was animated, now that I think about it. I just happens sometimes.

Coraline was stop-motion animation, though, wasn't it? Edit: Typo'd 'though' as 'thought'. Fixed. Edit 2: No, it totally _is_ stop-motion animated. Direct from the wiki: "Coraline is a 2009 American stop-motion animated dark fantasy horror film written and directed by Henry Selick and based on Neil Gaiman's 2002 novella of the same name."

If I remember correctly one of the people involved in making Coraline said that only 3% of all frames of the movie have CGI in them. I think it was in one of the commentary tracks on the DVD or one of the documentaries on it.

i don’t care if they’re fake or not (i know they are real) but i live un boston

@@pixslz9164 uh, ok?

How do I know that BD is real. Fucking Michael Reeves and Friends bought one of the robo dog. And make it piss on a cup.

And, if it were fake, the FTC and their shareholders would sue the crap out of them.

And yet, you could fake point 4. just fine though. I would agree it is a detail a visual artist would easily overlook. However, it is untrue it couldn't be faked in such a sense. And also, a more 'light on its toes' type future robot, very likely wouldn't have the spring-like movement if the end goal is to appear more human. We have to consider that difference plausible, actually.

This is what I was thinking. Additionally I think design of the robots suggest that they would be more weighty and move as such. Those sizes assigned to mammal anatomy do not correlate with that light floaty movement in people's experience. Ultimately I think it's all about the norms, what you mentioned and the points made towards the end of the video

We start touching horror stuff now....

My mom keep insisting they fake because human creation can't match God creation,she said robot move like human is impossible because human body is greater than machine

@@ryoid6001 🤣

@@girlord13 if i'm not mistaken atlas is way lighter than it looks since most of the materials that atlas is Made off are 3D printed and that makes the weight lesser

"So the government dropped a video of an alien invasion.. and we are here to tell you.. no, it isn't clint again. Basically we are all fucked."

Hahaha, that exactly is part of the plot of the spinnof book of Ender's Game when the aliens first come to Earth. The guy that came from the outer solar system with video proof gets ignored because everyone thinks its cgi hahaha

@@jmanpolo5611 clint turns into massive spaceship

@@localfriendlycloud7720 lmao exactly

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos

The uncanny valley effect but for movement

Yeah, one thing like that is when the robots do flips, they kinda jump up and then spinn, that's usually not how people do flips. Most people (from what I've seen) bend their back and push of from the ground at an angle (relative to their body) to flip over, while the robots kinda seem to jump almost straight up and then fling their legs back to create momentum to spin which looks kinda uncanny

Factory robots used to creep me out a lot like a kid. Those fluid determined movements.

wdym "if" they DO use keyframes if im not mistaken but those keyframes are modified based on the situation

To be fair, it's not the same method. BD has some very advanced simulation behind the animated values they send to the robot. Meanwhile CD has motion capture that's gone through cleanup, and then is manually animated where it needs it. That simulation step is a rather large workflow tool that nobody but BD will have access to. Its feedback loop with reality is completely real, but these robots are being driven by computers, the outcome in animation still likely exists at quite high fidelity and could likely drive a convincing CG version.
