              In The Future, Nothing Will Be Real

              This video is already a year old but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth posting again. I was really impressed with the cinematography work and the amazing detail in the composition…and then I realized it was all completely fake! That’s right, Alex Roman doesn’t create that horrible Transformers CGI; his computer graphic designs are true works of art. Click the full post to see a breakdown on how this was designed as well as Alex’s latest creation which features more “organic” material. If you are young and want to retire early, learn how to create this ASAP!

              • http://www.rlmorrisweddings.com Lee

                I remember watching this a year ago and thinking “wow that was amazing video work” and then a month later hearing that it was all CGI and my head almost exploded.

              • Corey

                That was simply incredible…

              • Har Rai Khalsa

                Yeah. Unbelievable. Doesn’t cease to impress, no matter how many times you watch it.

              • Har Rai Khalsa

                What program, or combination of programs, do you use to create something like this?

              • http://www.dannyjonesphotography.com Danny

                Get sucked in EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! It’s beautiful.

              • Mike

                Fucking amazing. I couldn’t believe that some of these scenes were CGI. Just wonderful.

              • http://www.khappucino.com khappucino

              • Shannon Wimberly

                How many caught the third and the seventh lines in the reversed image in the beginning……. 3rd line… Architecture and the 7th line Cinematography

              • Simon

                Alex Roman strikes again ! Fantastic video, I showed the 3rd and the 7th to my mom some time ago and she couldn’t believe me it was all CGI.

                @Shannon Cool, nice catch !

              • http://www.rlmorrisweddings.com Lee

                How long until videos games look like this?

              • max

              • Ido

                WOW it’s so real!

              • xaltair

                Looks amazing…how marketable is it though, can’t afford to do a mini breathtaking movie for every commercial though…we’ll have to see.

              • Robert Varkevisser

                I only discovered Fstoppers a few months ago.. And been constantly watching everything thats posted since then.
                I never comment for some unknown reason, but like 85+ % of the content appeals to me. So I’ll take this moment to say you guys do a great job and I love your site.

                Watching this , was the most beautiful 12 odd minutes of my year so far.
                It drew me in to the point that the world did not exist while I was watching this.

                Wow.
                I dont have words to give it justice.
                Amazing work.

                ” Alex Roman doesn’t create that horrible Transformers” but if you see carefully ..that winged building is on the transformers 3 .. Milwaukee Art Museum
