The sped up portions of that video are too smooth. That's why I think CGI. There's typically two types of CGI. Stuff that's done poorly/cheaply and looks it, or stuff that's overdone so much we know it's fake. Stuff that hits the subtle, happy medium is stuff we remember forever. Think of the original Star Wars movies, or the first Matrix movie. The Star Wars prequels were overdone to the point where the human elements looked out of place in the fake world. A lot of movies that mimic the Matrix's "bullet time" go overboard... #5;
