Hi Jim, Good catch. What I noticed is that at twenty seconds in there is a tan colored box on the trailer that makes no sense at all. This is definitely CG, done well enough but certainly not perfectly. I used to make a living doing PhotoShop in the print industry a good 20 years ago. Back then it took about half a million dollars worth of hardware to do video editing, and only about $20K to edit material for print. Nowadays you can do either with systems from $500 to $5K, and since every other highschool kid got into the game it's become REALLY hard to get the kind of $$ for it that I was getting back in 1990.
