What if...
This video features a newly developed robotic cop patrolling the streets of Johannesburg, South Africa?
Well, not really.
This is actually a specific corporate video created by Neill Blomkamp of The Embassy Digital Effects Inc. for a fictional company named Tetra Vaal - shows a robot cop policing the streets of a Johannesburg township.
The effects go beyond the extraordinary (even the robot’s relaxed-alert cop posture is stunningly lifelike), and the combination of the documentary-style footage and computer-generated images is convincing enough that you might find yourself wondering if you were on vacation during the announcement that robots are indeed now among us. A little scary? Definitely. An amazing video? No question.
It is one of the best digital effects that I've seen in a long time.
Enjoy.
