I am very, very skeptical of the authenticity of this video. Anybody skilled in 3D rendering could have created this video, it's happened before: http://anatomy

Maybe, seems a lot of trouble to go to for basically no payoff (apart from trolling HN) though.

  Not really. A student wanting to build out their portfolio looking for work in advertising/media production would get quite a bit of value out of this. Especially with the perception of most people seeing this as being a real ad, that shows a lot of potential for a prospective employer. It could also be the work of a freelance or independent studio using free time between projects, and may plan on later capitalising on it through a blog post or follow up video.

Apart from being skilled in 3D rendering -- the creator of this video seems to have enlisted a superb voice actor; audio + video fit together well. This is the work of a highly paid advertising agency, working for and paid by Google. The 'anatomyofahoax' centers around an old phone picture... this video had a lot more stuff. To conclude: it's the real deal.

  If your standards are low. It's perfectly reasonable that this video could be done by a couple guys over the weekend. To conclude: it's impossible to tell.

    All commercials can potentially be faked, and sometimes leaked commercials are real. This is an intractable argument.

  And a hand model.
