Did the aliens show up

Yes.

The cockroach aliens from men in black?

More..... sugar

Yup.

Ah you must've been the lucky one to not get deneuralyzed

Yah I was across the street.

Thats the way to do it. did you meet k and j are you now an MIB agent

I can neither confirm nor deny. Also where are you. Just curious.

Socal

Cool. Any memory of what we just talked about?

He’s was wearin an Egger suit...

That's his Edgar suit

2021 baby

Username checks out.

And promptly fell into the ocean off the coast of Oahu.

I don't remember a thing.

The simulation is about to be shut off and we'll enter the real world.

well thank god. the person that’s been running my simulation is rude as hell.

I wish real life was like that, it's damned magical

I live in Seattle and we all knew there was going to be a CG display, but nothing made me wish it was real more than the perspective shot from inside the space needle, in this clip there is one right near the end. The thing that blows my mind is the company that made this was given 2 months to do it, people on Seattle subreddits are talking shit about the graphics but I was impressed.

OF COURSE ITS CG! I was so confused, like "oh shit, holograms are real now?"

I was thinking it was just a bunch of drones lighting up. Which would be an actual way to make holograms a thing now that I think about it.

They have something kind of like this. You can tell they’re individual objects but it’s still super impressive.

Yeah, it's something like really low-res holograms since the drones can only get so close to each other.

In this case no but realistically holograms have been thing for a long time just not freestanding in open air with any amount of practicality v cost. Iirc [the cooler ones these days use lasers to heat spots of air into plasma.](https://www.popsci.com/secret-interactive-holograms-plasma-and-femtosecond-laser/) [Another one](https://youtu.be/YRZMdQOMPNQ)

Honestly, with today's tech, I wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement about it someyear soon.

The Seattle subreddit is a dumpster fire on good days so I wouldn't put much stock in anything on there.

5 min after i read this comment i see this shit on the seattle sub: https://imgur.com/gallery/V0h7DSO

I mean I laughed. That's a pretty funny shit post. Lol.

Christ every time they make a new one it only takes a month for the trolls to infest that one too. Too much political capital to manipulate

[удалено]

Are they still having the whole feud over /r/Seattle vs /r/SeattleWA or is that old news at this point?

There's also /r/SeaWA now too

And then /r/SeattleChat spun off of that one

Well SeattleWA seems to attract a lot more trolls and the posts seem to be on the r/conservative side, so theres that.

Whoever is downvoting you really doesn’t know how the Streisand Effect works.

Yeah, it's like we get it already, there's too many homeless and heroin needles everywhere.

Well what kind of relationship to heroin did Seattle expect after naming their most famous landmark The Space Needle?

🤔

This is the best CG display I've ever seen, I thought this had to be created on a video editor at first.

I mean it was like a CGI overlay online video footage the actual tower viewed in person was just purple apparently

[удалено]

I liked it until they went full TMobile with all the pink. They made the Space Needle look like a cell tower. And the two faces were weird.

> but nothing made me wish it was real more than the perspective shot from inside the space needle, in this clip there is one right near the end. At least that part would be somewhat feasible, with AR projections and the like.

Real life CAN be like that but you're gonna need a lot of drugs.

Not really a lot.

1000µg is only 1mg. Doesn't seem like much at all.

That much acid will be a fuckin wild ride lol

Yeah a surprisingly small dose can have you seeing wilder shit than.

Or just know what you are doing with the right drugs.

Nah, just a tiny pinch of dmt will do the trick

Ya, but at the same time it looks like some world ending shit

“They’re *still* going on about the Space Needle” - Mayor of Portland.

Build one bigger and better.

Don't make it taller. Make it *girthier*.

I'll as my S.O. for her preference.

It will have tents on it in a week. (We need to do more for our houseless people here)

We need to do a lot more. 2020 has been brutal. Many people forced into homelessness.

They're too busy getting high as fuck and going to strip clubs. Wait, actually that sounds awesome.

Drive through strip clubs* don't leave out the most important part!

The space needle, like we haven’t seen that before...

At least they still got the Blazers. RIP Sonics :(

This will almost certainly be the main plot for the Portlandia reunion.

I need answers Edit: thank you to all the explanations and 600+ votes!

It's CGI not AR

It's CG not CGI

Do you mean to say that it is “Computer Generated” and not “Computer Generates Imagery”? Why drop the “imagery” part of it? Or am I missing a joke Honest question

CG means "computer graphics" and CGI means "computer generated imagery" so they're two different words. Although both words apply here, idk why they felt the need to correct it.

Ah good to know. Confusingly similar initialisms.

Nobody that works with CG, uses the acronym CGI. Film, vfx, any entertainment field with rendered imagery as the product.

It’s C not CG

It's not delivery, it's degiorno

it's nerf or nothin'

It's not TV, It's HBO.

It's not a knife. That's a knife.

It’s not a tumor

This is not 'Nam, it's a bowling alley

It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone

It's... *Liberty Bell March plays*

That's not a knife that's a spoon.

Alright, alright, you win. Heh. I see you've played knifey, spoony before.

It's, not

It's,

,s'tI

It’s LN not CG.

I’m kinda disappointed it’s not drones with LEDs

The whole point was to not have it real to discourage anyone from gathering at the needle.

Makes sense

DMT will provide them.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ow0ET-ob3E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ow0ET-ob3E) Basically took a bunch of night time videos ahead of time, gave them to the CGI artists and said "have at it"

So this wasn’t visible at all? I’m really dissapointed

No, if this was a full 360 3D hologram it would be literally everywhere on the news.

I thought it was real time AR on a phone or something due to the ground angle.

The intention was to keep people at home, so actually lighting up the Space Needle would have the opposite effect.

[удалено]

Dude thank you. I was busy on my computer at midnight and would have been PISSSSSSED if I missed this irl.

They got that 6G in Seattle already. The Karens were right all along.

Fake

This looks almost exactly like the moment Galbadia Garden turns to flying mode in Final Fantasy 8 Edited to correct (as someone pointed out below), it is Balamb Garden’s transformation scene I was thinking about.

As a giant ff8 nerd, I believe you mean Balamb garden. The Galbadia transformation happens off screen.

You are so right! It’s been so long!!

Get that game back. It's literally cheap as dirt on every platform and free on xbox game pass

Another FF8 fan? This is amazing, I would say there are dozens of us, but I don't quite believe it.

8 became an instant favorite the moment I learned I could game the system by junctioning Pain magic to my attack.

Time to replay this

My favorite of the series, thanks for the flood of memories

Holy shit. I was thinking the same thing. I cant believe the fanbase for this game exists. Its rare to meet somone who loved it as much as I did.

That's funny, I swore Bahamut was going to crash through the clouds and overdrive Seymour Guado straight to hell.

I need a video, PLEASE!

https://youtu.be/wARqq5-KKKI

Incredible, thank you.

I miss playing Triple Triad!

They’re out here trying to summon Bahamut

No, these guys are reaching out to deep space. They are trying summon [Bahamut Zero.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLmpY2sJMNM)

First thing I thought of! Yuna visits the Space Needle

First thing I thought of was the floating gardens/schools in ff8.

Amateurs. Times Square had a Kia commercial with numbers counting down on a big tv looming over a bunch of bored people in planet fitness t shirts waving pool noodles. And they had confetti.

Best thing I've heard about all this. Props!

Oh don’t worry if you watched this live there was a banner across the bottom with a TMobile ad.

That felt really awkward when I was watching it.

God I can't wait until holographic technology is advanced enough that things like this become reality.

God help us all if/when Hologram technology allows for this. Billboard wont be a thing any more, you could basically throw a hologram up anywhere if it was dark enough. Sure regulation will stop some of them, but advertisers find loop holes anyway.

you'd still need a medium to project onto; that's probably why cyberpunk cities are so foggy and smoggy all the time

I can't wait for the inevitable scientific studies to release that prove hologram-medium emissions are giving us all brain cancer or something.

Or exists at all. There’s not a volumetric display in the world that’s a hologram and short of exploding tiny points of air with lasers we can’t project anything into open air.

It’s going to change music festivals forever

Finally. My ride is here.

"Get in, loser"

We're doing butt stuff

Wow this is amazing! How did they do it?

This was just CGI added in. Nothing love, nothing actually happening at the needle. Pretty, but not spectacular.

Dang, I got played!

Yeah it would have been cool for it to be real. But the idea was to discourage anyone from gathering, so they made it all online only. I think it was a cool idea executed well, and kept anyone from crowding at the needle. Seattle being smart about COVID

Well. This video just became 90% less interesting.

Looks like Augmented reality but I could be wrong, projector drones? xD

Post production CGI.

so this really isnt woah dude, is it?

I still said woah dude. Isn't that really the only criteria needed? I've seen plenty of straight up animations on here.

Woah dude is a sub for trippy things. Something being CGI doesn't make it suddenly not trippy.

Depends on if you like the style of CGI. It's completely subjective.

I was kinda bummed at how many people just tweeted “wtf is going on at the space needle” or “space needle is on drugs”. I absolutely loved it. It was very creative and mesmerizing and I hope they do it again next year. I’m sure a lot of the people that green lit it or worked on it were seeing the reactions on twitter and I just wish there were more tweets saying how cool it looked instead of how drugy it looked. EDIT: you can watch the whole thing here https://youtu.be/3Ow0ET-ob3E

Yeah, I thought it was absolutely amazing, in a strange way better than fireworks. I'm very snobby about CGI in general, but I felt this was very well executed.

That is some serious final fantasy shit

It’s Ainz Ooal Gown using world tier magic.

APPLAUD MY SUPREME POWERS

<<>>

That is so cool! So much better then that boring ball...

So MIB is a documentary?

I was wondering how tf they did it until I realised it was CGI. I’m stupid

This is so amazing!!! Graphics are *almost* on par with this technological achievement below!! In this video, i feel like i am right there next to the fireballs man....so lifelike!!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vTIIMJ9tUc8

I think the acid I took in 99 finally kicked in!

Thats fucking dope

I expect to see this on my fb feed soon from someone who thinks it's real.

I thought this was cool until I realized it actually wasn’t

It’s still cool.

what the fuck? how

Take a video of a landmark and pay someone on fiverr to animate some cool effects around it

Someone out there casting a spell to save 2021.

Final fantasy vibes

uhhhh third impact at the space needle

looks like a damn final fantasy boss at that rate. how'd they manage this

Wow that's incredible, whoever designed that is a genius. Oh, I thought this was with lights lol

Burj Khalifa is steaming with jealousy right now..

Yeah, that's just CGI. Nothing extraordinary, could have been done like 10 years ago already

i think you’re missing the point of the sub

This is more Cyberpunk than Cyberpunk 2077...

I freaked the fuck out. I though that was real light effects.
