NEWS: Bike Hero a Fraud!

Nov 20, 2008 - By Mali

Looks like this, awesome music video that everyone (including us) thought was the most amazing thing an amateur filmmaker had ever done… is fake! Well not fake, but not amateur either. That’s right apparently this wasn’t just some amazing teen-genius, but actually the genius product of Guitar Hero World Tour. Gamecyte.com reports:

According to Creativity Online, it was ad agency Droga5 and a production company named Smuggler who won that internet instead — and on Activision’s behalf. A quick check of Droga5’s client list confirms that Guitar Hero World Tour is among those brands the firm services, and the video’s credits include a CG artist, a CG supervisor, and an Animation supervisor in addition to several visual effect specialists.

Does this ruin the video for you?
