never seen that, looks real to me... :chimp:

oh rly?

this is what it says right underneath the video window

ahem

Although the video may be fake, it still gives a good comparison of the size difference between the two systems.

its a fake vid its been all over the net, hell theres a manual out with real measurements anyway so .. and real photographs of it too

I was yelling "Fake!" before I saw the bottom. Yeah...someone has too much free time on their hands......besides me.

There isnt any reflection on the Lite's screen.

Youd think since they went to all that trouble they could have upped the specularity on the screens of it a bit.

That would work if it was a 3D model, but the DS lite in this video is just a flat 2D picture.

From the looks of it, it was put together with Adobe After Effects. The guy probably placed a small bright object on the table when he filmed it, and then used the bright object as a reference point for the Motion Track feature to make the DS lite picture look like it was in the video. He then turned the layer into a 3D layer to rotate it in 3 dimensions. However, After Effects motion tracking only supports 2 dimensions, so if you add motion tracking to a 3D layer, you'll have to track the Z-rotation and depth by hand. If you don't do it just right, the layer will sway and wobble slightly.
