They're using it in episodes tooWell I just found one thing I don't like about the new HD intro. Jeez, that looks bad.
I think it looks fine, I don't like it that much, but it's fine. I think the reason why it's in CGI is because it would be a lot of work to go to Bikini Atoll just to shoot 2 seconds of video, and I don't think it's safe in the area because of all the nuclear radiation.

Yeah, it's just a little prop that was filmed in a bath tub. It'd probably be cheaper to re-film it than to get a CG model.Doowop said:I thought it was just a miniature replica of an island.
That was Photoshop. It's a fake.SunBro said:They're using it in episodes too
It looks like something out of a PS1 game.
A fake what? Vincent confirmed it's a real screenshotThat was Photoshop. It's a fake.
I'm guessing that they initially wanted to re-film it but they couldn't find the original island prop, and due to time they had to try to replicate it digitally. Honestly I don't think it would've costed much more to film a small prop in a swimming pool (or was it a bath tub?).Krystalite said:Are they trying to lower down the budget? After all, CGI effects are way more common in animation nowadays.
