Am I the only one skeptical about Boston Dynamics’s new robot dancing video being CGI?

You're not alone ... I'm slightly skeptical too.

I think they are real robots and are really doing these dance moves, but there's something too slick about it all. I reckon they have a motion-tracked camera with preprogrammed repeatable paths. I don't think the robots did the whole dance sequence in one go and I'm not sure all the robots were there at the same time.

In other words, I think it was multiple takes and the whole thing composited and edited together. One thing my eye keeps focusing on is that the frame rate for the robot motions seems slightly different to one another ... that 4 legged robot looks like it was shot at a slightly higher frame rate than the 2 legged ones?

I really hope I'm completely wrong though and this dance was one take with several robots. I think this is the problem now with companies showing us cool stuff. If it's too cool you need a 'making of' video or we'll think it was faked!

It's a spoof.

No, you are not they only one, there are lots of conspiracy theorists who are out of touch with reality.

Yes It is a produced video of robots.

It is not camera tricks. there are many videos of the capabilities of modern robots on you tube.

Oh yea, space is all cgi too -.-
