This is a fake-ass video of a whole bunch of those Chuck E Cheese ball pit balls allegedly floating around in mid-air thanks to a giant electromagnetic and some iffy electronics stuffed inside each one. You can send it to your friends telling them it's real if you want, but it's not. It's really just an exercise in motion graphics for some film festival.

Hit the jump for the 'how did they do that?' in action. SPOILER: computer graphics.

    This is a fake-ass video of two quantum levitating hover cars racing around a little track inspired by the Playstation classic Wipe'Out. People are passing it around like it's real, but it's not -- it's fake. I assume they'll announce a new Wipe'Out game in the next couple we... / Continue →
