  • A video has been viewed tens of thousands of times in Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Tiktok and Weibo posts that claim it shows actual drones playing volleyball. The claim is false: the video in fact shows a digital animation project created by a visual effects artist. The video was shared here on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo on March 3, 2021, where it has been viewed more than 19,000 times. It purports to show two drones hitting a ball back-and-forth. The simplified Chinese-language caption translates to English as: "Drone volleyball match". An identical video was also shared alongside a similar claim on Twitter here and here; on Facebook here and here; on YouTube here and here; on Reddit here; on TikTok here and here. The claim, however, is false. A reverse image search on Google found the video shows a digital animation. Iran-based visual effects artist Hamid Ebrahimnia shared the original video on Instagram on February 26, 2021. He states in the post's caption: "I did all animations in Cinema 4D, tracked in Mocha and composited in [Adobe] After Effects." Ebrahimnia's video has been mirrored in the misleading posts. Below are a set of screenshot comparisons of the video in the misleading posts (L) and the video posted by Ebrahimnia (R): Ebrahimnia told AFP he created the clip using digital animation techniques. In an email on April 6, 2021, he said: "That video is not real. I made it with VFX as I did a lot of visual effects artworks. The video is a visual motion artwork and has messages inside it: spreading the message of COVID-19 and staying home." He shared a video that shows how the animation was created using raw footage and computer-generated effects. Below are screenshots of select frames taken from this video: The misleading post was also debunked by US fact-checking organisation site Snopes. (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by BOOM staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)
