Chinese CGI Reconstruction of Tiger Woods Crash
December 1, 2009 6:40 pm


Tiger Woods crash

Every news organizations has reported the Tiger Woods car crash by now, but only the Chinese have recreated the event with glorious CGI animation. They’ve even animated the alleged domestic altercation between Woods and wife that led to the crash. I would totally be a regular viewer of American TV news if they animated their news stories like this.

(Thanks, David OReilly)

Love it.

I wonder if they CGi’d the White House party crashers duping the Secret Service and schmoozing with party guests. I’d love to see their version of that. I picture a Keystone Cop interpretation.

I probably would’ve turned on the news more often if they begin giving us animated reenactments like this to help out as much-needed visual aids.

awesome. particularly like the dramatic soundtrack. it gets all dark and nasty when she hits him!

Think of the news stories that could have been enhanced this way:

OJ, Balloon Boy, Larry Craig, Dick Cheney hunting.

Wow. First, Christmas Carol, now THIS? Bob Zemeckis has been BUSY!

Angry-woman-chasing-van-with-golf-club should have been a scene in “I Spit on Your Grave”

I’m surprised FOX News isn’t onto this technology. Their imaginary news could be so much more real.. ish.

That was amazing. I hope very much that FOX news and Zemeckis someday strike a deal and put the “wow” back in TV news.

…or at least some “truth.”

Hi

Great story and they’ve even animated the alleged domestic altercation between Woods and wife that led to the crash. I would totally be a regular viewer of American TV news if they animated their news stories like this.

I can already imagine all the animated gifs made from this footage that will become the avatars of message board denizens worldwide. the horror. the horror.

I caught this late last night from, where else, a China news service. Pretty darn cool.

I don’t like to throw this around, but I’ve actually shopped at the Wal-Mart across the street from the Health Central in this clip, so we’re practically neighbors. There’s also a Radio Shack in the same shopping center — talk about convenience!

I was going to make an Xavier: Renegade Angel comment, but someone already beat me to it.

That White House crashers animation is too funny. You don’t need to know what they’re saying to know they’re sticking it to the Secret Serivice.

Yikes! Tiger has just turned into a black man.

Sadly…far better than much else on TV today. . .at least, pretty cool in the extremely short period of time it was produced.

Did she really bitch-slap him? It all makes sense now. Now, if they would only recreate the OJ crime scene to clarify the matter.

vengeful wife powers-activate!

OtherDan, I think “E! True Hollywood Story” once did a special on the Nicole Simpson murders that featured CGI recreations of the possible murder scenarios. But the recreations didn’t seem as cheesy as these CGI recreations here.

I was wondering if Cartoon Brew would have a thread about these recreations. I love the over the top staging and acting. :-)

ALL speculative news stores should be animated like this.

I lost all faith when they had him driving a minivan.

I wonder how many people were involved in making this, and how much time they were given.

According to Keith Olbermann, that Taiwanese station is making more and more of these shorts. I guess they know a good deal when they see one. I bet they’ll make enough of these to put together a feature length movie. They really should hire Xavier to be the marriage counselor. :-)
