Johnson Thompson was practicing compositing with After Effects and Blender. His video was picked up by the main stream press and got over 400k views on YouTube. He reports about what happened and how he created this video.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

I laughed really hard! XD Man talk about views lol. That's one way of getting publicity
I wonder how many BlenderNation readers are now planning their own deliberate hoax video? :-)
