Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating claim and found it to be misleading. The video is a CGI.
CGI By “2NCS”
Misbar’s team found that the circulated video is a CGI by a U.K based automotive CGI Artist who goes by the name “2NCS.”
The artist has a portfolio of similar videos and images, as can be seen below.
Misbar’s team also found that the artist’s ultra-realistic computer-generated videos have previously gone viral and fooled many.
The daily mail shared a previous CGI by “2NCS” with a caption that reads: “A 3D artist finally revealed how tricked the internet using CGI. 2NCS created a video where a Ferrari drives under a truck to 'escape' a police car leaving the internet divided on whether it was real or fake.”
