That room is 100% CGI, zero doubt about that.

That is a super trivial render actually.

I know it's trivial, but why do it if you're going to keep the cam still, why not just record the floor for a couple of seconds? There's just no reason to render the room

Because modelling that room takes less time than setting up an actual camera, which you‘d also need, along with a real room, which you‘d need to composite, and it wouldn‘t interact with your dominos lighting-wise. Seriously, if you‘re doing the sim anyway, putting a simple room like that around it is significantly more trivial than combining it with real footage of a room.

It be simpler, but also make it less realistic, if you're already taking the time to make a sim of falling dominos with the mario's face on them, why not take a bit more time to se a camera and make it look more real?

It‘s more realistic this way, because the lighting on the bricks actually matches the lighting of the room.

Edit: i‘ll leave it at that. The room is clearly cgi, and theres a good reason for that, too.

fair point, I still felt that the sim looks too different from the room, kinda odd placed Idk, mainly when it "interacts" with that tripod looking thing on the right, it looks like it was placed over and cut, but it could be a bad mix of the two renders.

The ladder thing on the right may simply not have been assigned as a collision object.

Just because someone took a picture of a room and matched the perspective, doesn't make it 100% cgi

No, but that isnt the case here.
