I can't believe no one noticed it.
The texture of the upper parts of the wood contraption feels unrealistic; there is almost no grain. The contraption itself is too bright compared to the ambient level of light; the white buckets are darker. There are 2 main sources of light: one on the right casting a shadow of the structure on the ground toward the left, and one light on the left that should cast a shadow on the ground toward the right... but it is missing (contrary to shadows on parts of the structure itself)!
This is obviously CGI. You would be surprised what a person with a few days of work can accomplish with off-the-shelf CGI software.
The poster's background suggests this. He writes "ImD-student" in his profile which may refer to the Interactive Media Division at the USC's School of Cinematic Arts. He also subscribed to the "indymogul" youtube channel which is an online video network and community dedicated to DIY filmmaking.

- reneherse 16y agoWith this in mind, it's interesting to look at the "set design": miter saw, clamps, drawings, sand paper, wood scraps, sawdust and broom all strategically placed around the scene to add realism. For giveaways thought, in addition to the strange shadowing and textures the parent mentions, there's the human factor. To me the acting seems just a bit off. Kudos to the guy who made this though; I imagine just modeling that structure (and its shadows and reflections) in CGI was a fun nut to crack!
- mrb 16y agoOne more clue supporting my theory: the poster updated his profile, and ImD refers to http://www.intermediales-design.de http://www.intermediales-design.de which is an education establishment specialized in design, offering specifically concept / 3D modelling courses amongst others: http://www.intermediales-design.de/projekte/concept-3d http://www.intermediales-design.de/projekte/concept-3d
