Inception Park - Floating Roller Coaster.

INB4 -- OMG if they can do this, who knows what they can do !!!11


Stupid YOUTUBE blocked it from ATS?
*linky above to the youtube video - idiots at youtube...*

Neat video, but everything I've read about it - and seen on the local tv - is misleading. They make it sound as if this is somehow a trick of the eye, or some illusion.

Sadly, it's an post video effect added in. The roller coaster is not really there.

Director Fernando Livschitz has made a short film titled “Inception Park” inspired by Christopher Nolan‘s movie “Inception” turning Buenos Aires into a theme park with a variety of roller coasters. This is not an actual theme park as you may think, the roller coasters were only incorporated to the video using special effects.

Entertaining video using CGI

Seems legit.

Lol, I just thought I'd post it as people have been dumfounded by the 3d projection's in the past which make buildings appear to dance with light, images and colour.

But it's not a green screen

Just pretty good cgi and motion tracking.

Exactly, what got me was that I saw it on the local entertainment news here (it masquerades are real news but hey..) and they said it was attracting crowds and onlookers etc... I had to google it to see what it was about, and 99% of the websites just reiterated the same thing. Had to look closer to the artist to see it's cgi.

Hopefully there are no future threads 25 pages long with people in awe of the efficacy of this effect, thinking it's actually what a pedestrian on the street can see.
