For my final year project I created a visual effects piece using 3D tracking and 3d modelling, I created the hoax to draw attention to the final piece, it recieved over 40,000 views on YouTube and was spead to UFO forums and website across the world. The hoax was a lot of fun to make, I made two videos of the same object from two different angles (One in a helicopter and one in a car), this meant the two videos both complimented each other and people would comment telling me about the other video. A lot of people believed it (until I revealed the hoax), in particular the section shown above was cited as a reason it could be real, the UFO can be seen behind the grating on a footbridge. This was really simple to achieve but gave it so much credibility.
