“Were you aware of the extent to which they can do this? It's pretty mind-blowing to look back and think how many times you may have been mislead without realizing it.”

My notes: I love the song in here too E.S. Posthumus – Nara. People have commented, how do we even know if the NEWS is real. Heck, they use the green or blue screen for the weather; it’s how they can stand in front of it. Similar to photoshops. Makes things seem SO real. Years ago Kate Winslet got on the GQ magazine ‘cos they photoshopped her to be much thinner than she was. I still remember the comment Cindy Crawford said years ago, “Even “I” don’t look like Cindy Crawford”. Very telling!”

I know that's how they do the weather and a lot of the special effects for movies. Not sure how much the news media use it. But with the photoshopping abilities, you can make a picture seem like anything you want. Yeah, you can never really be sure if what you are looking at is real or not.
But for movies, it is amazing how they can make it seem real. But people know that. All the explosions and cities blowing up, nobody thinks they are doing that for real do they? Of course it's special effects.

Clever isn't it and I knew they could do it but not to what extent. Movies etc won't be quite so impressive any more lol
