Extraordinary claims. Ordinary investigations.

This is old news, but “Barzolff“, creator of the infamous Caribbean UFO videos, has a real name. It’s French animator David Nicolas, from Partizan, also known as “Numero 6″.

On his page on the Partizan website, Nicolas showcase the UFO videos he created before the Youtube sensation. And it’s fabulous to finally know who created them, because they also generated some buzz.

All of them, of course, are computer graphics. Don’t miss it: even though the best of the bunch is indeed the famous Haitian flick, every one of them shows some creative movement, shapes or behavior.

And even the Haitian one is there, on a better quality version. Interestingly, the better definition and sharpness makes it looks more… fake. The UFO looks nicer, with more details, but the palm trees look more artificial. This may be subjective, but I think you will agree with me.

As Nicolas also explained to Creativity Online, “if I had known there would be so much scrutiny I would have worked harder on it” he laughs.
