The Mill has created The Mill BLACKBIRD, the first fully adjustable car rig that creates photoreal CG cars – it’s a car rig that can be shot at any time, in any location, without the need to rely on a physical car. Created in collaboration with JemFX, Performance Filmworks and Keslow, Mill Blackbird inspires and expands creative opportunities, offering a truly flexible production tool without sacrificing any quality or direction.

Amazing and....just a little chilling, too.

Really great post.

Will video be acceptable as evidence in the future..?

Just wow.

Now all we need is a version that can project the CG image around the car in realtime, so we can make it appear as if we’re pulling a Lambo into the garage ;-)

Great website.

I like their company personnel photo montage.

Their other auto videos are also very impressive.

When this video manipulation tech announcement was made this Spring, Soviet Stalin show trial court convictions of political enemies came to mind.

In the future leftist authoritarians will find it SO Easy to try, convict and dissappear anyone who gets in the way of their political aims.

Bad actor Means to destroy an individual’s life:
Falsified rant video posted on youtube (via this tech)
False evidence created in Social media, ie: threatening / deranged twitter post
False browser history (visiting bad sites)
False email Inbox/Sent and download content (ch1ldpor_)
Falsified Amazon / financial records (credit card purchases anti-gov’t books, weapons, etc.)
Faked Surveillance video / images
Inject scandalous patient healthcare info into data broker PHI database (see thedatamap.org )
False DNA lab results linking to a criminal conviction
False Google database entries slandering an individual

All of these means are readily available to discredit & destroy an individual to render them politically unelectable, unemployable, unable to obtain or retain gov’t clearance.

Identity Theft 2.0, search and destroy.

Very nice to see a bit of the underlying form!

Perhaps we, The People, could trade in the worthless CnC for a biped version?

Think of the savings!
For the children!
