All I was saying is, sometimes when you see effects in movies and TV -- and I'm saying this because I work in CG -- it's the result of the schedule and the manpower/resources at their disposal. Sometimes "good enough" + suspension of disbelief/imagination can fill in the rest.

You're right. It did look fake. As a CG artist, I couldn't help but think the shadows looked too dark and sharp around the cars. But it didn't take away from the power of the image.
