I agree - while I suppose I could have been "had", it looks to me like it
was genuinely darn good sheepherding using mounted lights on the back of
sheep and simply accelerated footage (assuming that's the part that looked
the least authentic). At the least I agree it's not obvious that it is
"90%" animation.

A neophyte question:
What indicates so clearly the fake animation? Some of it seems fabricated
or heavily edited, that's clear. But what are you all seeing? Very
curious about how things are made, and what reveals that.
Thanks-

It was still a hoot and a half, however it was made.

pretty cool idea even if 90% of it is fake animation. It should work as
a viral ad, though, like the faked one-wing killathrill plane landing
video from last year:

Imagine the creator/artist trying to initially explain to the sheep
ranchers what he was up to and what he wanted them to do. But I love
the emergence of it all, given that the only major rule for the "sheep
