Small tuna
I find hard to believe that someone could just upload some random video with some of the most photo-realistic CGI animals ever made.

WAs that tuna clubbing I saw in the video?

We do far worse to tuna. They'll be extinct soon enough.

I watched the video to Metallica's Enter Sandman. Those damn dolphins were menacing as hell!
Yeah maybe you are right but the video looks so clear, perhaps that's why it looks like CG.

Fucking incredible. (I also thought it looked a bit like cg. :/)
WOW! That bothered greatly too. It was all I could think about while watching the rest of the video.
"Here we are showing this nice video about such beautiful creatures... after beating the tuna"
You don't say?
LOL, my thought too. I get the reason for it, it just seems a weird juxtaposition.

FOR EVERY ANIMAL YOU DON'T EAT I'M GONNA EAT THREE!!!
haha, i bet you haven't heard that before.
umm.. i've seen better. there were clearly some animations that were more than a bit "off", so i'm in the CG camp on this one. also the dolphins' eyes don't look real at all, and overall some of them look more low res than the others.. actually kinda shoddy work IMO. and fish aren't that interested in humans, they don't just come and swim along with a boat and pose for the camera.. i mean wtf.

You clearly haven't seen a lot. What's so intimate about an underwater recording of a pod of Dolphins following you? Happens all the time in the right area I have heard.
If you want something really intimate, watch "The Cove".

As a life-long fisherman, I have to say that a fish whacker is the most humane way to kill a larger fish. Before we get into the moral argument of harvesting fish we need to consider biology and consider the neurological makeup of a fish; they do not have a neocortex. So are the fish actually feeling pain?
With that said, I do have a problem with harvesting apex predator. I personally don't fish for them and I don't eat them. That is a personal decision that I have made based off of the overall health of the ocean.
Oh and the dolphins and Pearl Jam/Vedder were really cool.

I patiently await the dummies who claim that's entirely CG too.

To the best of my knowledge I believe the verdict in the scientific community is still out as to whether or not fish even have pain receptors that operate in any way at all like mammals.
People have a tendency to anthropomorphize everything we see, in order to understand the way it works better. This is often helpful, but sometimes leads us to place certain values and ideals onto mechanisms in nature that are misplaced and inaccurate.
What if it were true that fish literally do not feel pain, i.e. pain was never present as an advantageous evolutionary trait and they simply don't need it. Would you still feel the same way about the video?
It's helpful to deconstruct the projections we place on things as humans so we can come to correct conclusions about things, not just moral or ethical or emotional conclusions.

Saw this on Mashable over the weekend too. The title of the story was:
"You'll Never Believe These Dolphins Aren't CGI"
"You'll Never Believe These Dolphins Aren't CGI"
Everything looks perfectly real in the video you posted. Thanks for calling me an idiot, though.

The creed music made me laugh so fucking hard
WTF man, hope you're joking. that was clearly Scott Weiland.
By the way, great footage. I don't see why people is seeing CG, looks like average amateur wildlife footage to me.

Apparently its Peal Jam! Which makes sense which I don't really care for Pearl Jam.

I'm just saying, if people can't tell the difference between CG and real life anymore, then either people need to get out more or CG has just gotten too good.

That really looked CG to me. Fucking videogames have ruined my appreciation of nature.
What is wrong with you people?
