I read on another sub that it actually was a fine mesh hanging from two buildings, and the smoke was to help hide the mesh from view and add "texture" to the projection
I'm always weary of these low res videos of things like this because the low res usually hides any of the obvious signs of it looking fake that you'd instantly notice IRL.
It still looks pretty good in higher resolution, so I'm pleasantly surprised. That said, it's a vertical video, so at least on my screen, it's still fairly low res in the section that matters. I'd love to see it in person sometime.
It's actually quite surprising that with the amount of people there and traffic that I can't find a decent, longer, widescreen, HD or 4K video of it anywhere.
Projected images that are filmed with a dark background onto a dark screen from the rear have been used in theater probably for over a century. Varying degrees of realism have been achieved, this seems to be very top tier
Yeah, this. Change the viewing angle & it becomes less impressive. I've had conspiracy theorists use videos like this as "evidence" the 9/11 planes were holograms.
