cgi would be computer generated images? more than we all think. gotta be cheaper than building props and sets as in the old days. ever seen lord of the rings..that's a good example. what the heck it is all for our entertainment..neat video though.

I would say most car commercials for the past ten years are CGI. Especially SUV offroad "capability" ads. And the yuppie driving fast on a completely empty highway ads.

Makes you wonder about the news show broadcast video snippets.

I just got a new recorded album called "Lost in the New Real".

The album musically outlines a story. "The story follows Mr. L, a twenty-first century man who was cryopreserved at the moment of clinical death from a terminal disease. The album begins as Mr. L is being revived at a point in the distant future, when technology has advanced enough to cure his disease. Mr. L finds himself in a world that has drastically changed — to the point that the line between what’s real and what’s not is no longer clear."
People in this future, live their lives in computer generated virtual reality, where it is impossible to discern what is real from what is computer generated under the watchful eye of big brother, among others.

Anyway, the video posted here, makes (The New Real" seem not so far fetched. ;)

Sanctuary is a good example.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.
