Didn't see in the FAQ - not 56k friendly

That video (although not even 3D rendered - seems like a flash animation/compilation) is clearly faked.

Please understand I am still making a decision based on both side arguments. I however didn't see this in the faq. In case the anwer 'photoshop' is given, please understand this is a video and photoshop is not applicable. I have also done these types of images myself, which i can find and post. Just looking for an explanation, since I couldn't find it in the faq's.

If it could be faked it must be faked, apparently.

Please, the "it's a fake flash animation" answer doesn't cut it. I only posted the gif because I could embed it. I can also provide an avi, mov or mpeg. If you don't understand the difference between an animated gif and a mov file, you are not qualified to answer this question, nor any question regarding fe theory IMO.

I need an intelligent answer by one of the more thoughtful fe'rs around here. I work in the effects industry, and to create a fake of this image would be, well let's just say, industrial light and magic difficult. The accuracy in which the stars spin outward from the center, the lightning on the rock faces, the subtlety of exposure differences between frames, all while making it look real...

here is another link to a film called Baraka, filled with this type of footage. BTW, this film was shot before computer effects could create this.

star footage is just over 1 mintue into it, and continutes to the end.

Where in the United States is the sky even that clear?
That is where I want to live.

I know. There are probably 20 stars visible at night here.

Any thoughtful scientific answer is welcome, so I can continue making my decision on fe/re debate.

So is everything! The MooBs clouds the future.
Videos are as easily faked as gif's, and as such prove nothing.

I love how everyone crys fake and sticks to that even when it has been explained exactly how one could make their own animation at home using very cheap and basic equipment. Okay so the GIF is a fake, so what? You could make your own and prove that the stars don't do that if you think it is. What a complete and utter bunch of fallacious bollocks the FE response to this thread is.

Well Tom is constantly telling people to read that stupid sacred script and carry out it's experiments. You could look at this thread in a different way. Someone is asking you to carry out an experiment. An experiment simpler than finding a canal and floating boats down it whilst standing in the water with a telescope 6 inches above water level....
