Oh I'm sure you're not the only one, but as someone with a fair bit of animation experience, I doubt it. I think it's just a perceptual bias (specifically the expectation that it's fake) combined with the fact that they did it against a pristine photo backdrop, likely for the aesthetic effect. If you look real close, there's so much going on there-- dynamics-wise --that if they wanted to fake it, it'd most likely be cheaper to build a fake physical mockup that'd withstand the test than to do a rendering.

Heh, I don't know why everyone is still so skeptical about the reality of the printer. I mean, by now it's pretty evident that it's actually being produced, the real question people should be asking is 'how good a printer will it be?' and I can't wait to find out. (Backer #656)
