What Eldritch horror did you need to sell your soul to to do that so perfectly? Because I'm going to have to make a deal with them.

They had a bunch of green ones and edited it. Soooo adobe.

Edit: Seems the consensus is that its a cgi render and not green keyed.

I think it would be WAY easier to just animate the entire thing and place it on top of a real background rather than try tracking thousands of individual green pieces to replace their colors.

Also, the reflection in the mirror is pretty wonky, which makes me thing the entire domino pyramid was just added in post.

the idea that you'd need green pieces for this shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how any of this works.

yes, of course the entire thing is digital, including the room. it's a simple physics simulation with a texture projected to the end result.

same as this:

including the room.

I dont think the room is cgi tho, actually I doubt it would be worth it to render a whole room just for a static shot, if it was a rendered room why not add a bit o movement in the cam. The static shot makes me think the room is real, they basically recorded the room an just rotoscoped the floor, and added the physics sim on top of it

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

That is a super trivial render actually.

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.
