…The tree shadow. Before it takes off, it’s supposed to be in the shadow of the tree (look to the left, at the ground) - yet the drone has sunlight reflecting off it, in those areas.
Why was it obviously staged? I can't imagine a lot of your tiktokers are driving commercial dump trucks or piloting drones worth 10s of thousands of dollars. And why? You can't even see anyones face. Who would this be promoting?
The damage to the drone + truck could easily rack up $100k. I don't think I've ever seen someone stage that much of a loss and not even appear in the video for the exposure.
Because it's a clear, sunny day - a truck would be easily visible. There is literally no reason to tilt your agricultural spray drone into the oncoming lane - without looking - other than doing it on purpose.
Half of the people say it's obviously CGI, half the people are saying it's obviously real and staged. Usually, that means no one knows what they are talking about and just picking one option at random.
I'm with ya. If it's CGI they did a really, really good job with the impact and debris! Always a bit tough to tell with low quality video like that, though.
No one would use a drone like that on an active highway. Especially someone driving that vehicle. It's just common sense that it's not real. And it looks.... I don't know.... Off.
All good. We're allowed to have differing opinions on something as trivial as a drone hitting a truck. And I'll take my downvotes. The masses have spoken and my take is wrong. I'll learn and live. All good
Well you are super incorrect here my friend so back to studying videos to know what’s off and what isn’t. It’s a $20000 agriculture drone and it got destroyed there’s a bunch of articles on it.
The only articles I can find are a reddit post and a whiskyriff.com article that is sourced from a Twitter post, and a New York Post article referencing the WhiskyRiff article.
The reason I thinks it's real is because they showed the properlors trying to crank over when it was staring, that like half rotations of the blades at the beginning was it starting, it's really unlikely someone would accurately so that in CG

love it.

...it wasn't.

When I see stupidity like this, I'm sometimes glad it goes bad. Too bad for the truck driver though.

That'll buff right out.

Might as well set 10k on fire

Fake
eviljesus84
I mean, it's real, just obviously staged
manwithaharmonica
The shadows say it’s CGI…
Infinias
It doesn't change size when the drone tilts for those wondering
eviljesus84
Uh... it does, actually. I mean, if it's CGI, then it's very well done, but the shadow does shift with the movement

This is old copypasta. It's CGI, not fully real footage. I don't have a link, but this is like the 5th or 6th time I've seen this reposted

I posted this one a few weeks ago and people explained why its cgi
ballsoutflyer
And they were all wrong.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
Why? It looks perfect.
MahadmaGaudi
To be honest, not sure anymore
eviljesus84
Yeah... no. I'm thinking we're all so jaded by CGI, we're starting to look for it where there isn't any.

Did you see the episode of Ride with Norman Reedus with Keanu Reeves guesting? I though the inter net would have lost it's mind, but no.

That's the kind of response I was expecting. :)

Thank you :)

That was expensive.

..and dangerous.

Also, in the US the FAA may hit you with a very large fine for this because you are a licensed pilot and just violated a few FARs.

Naw..new windshield and maybe a mirror…

Delay of cargo delivery fines, lost revenue, trauma counceling, new trousers. The list of expenses is looong

Very, that looks like a DJI AgrasT40 price range 20k-30k

No the REAL drone that crashed into the REAL truck. I'm thinking you're probably not in showbiz

And the pixelated shadows
BishlamekGurpgork
I think that's just a combination of the irregular pebbly asphalt texture and bad video quality.

Sorry didn't mean to upset anyone. I was just wondering

CG can't render smoke that good or a physical impact that good.
Ghlargh
It absolutely can, but all the work put into setting up the scenario would cost way more than buying a truck and a drone and smashing them.
