Further regarding all this, I found a very interesting comment left by an individual on the Discovery News article re the Jerusalem videos. I reproduced it in the 'New Utah footage' thread. It's a little long, so I won't repeat it here. Note the claim at the end of the comment.

Really? Not trying to be smart or clever but thats all done with adobe after effects.
Yes, I agree, CGI can generate practically anything on the screen. Actually, you don't even have to quote videos like this as examples. A far better example is your favorite modern science fiction movie.
That's not the point. I think more important points are that to this time, all attempts at debunks have been circumspect and qualitative. Any quantitative attempts have, in my view, failed.
To achieve this level of
consistent CGI effects, all with
consistent elements, across several videos would require a high degree of sustained effort; not likely the output of one person.
Geographically, these videos require, literally, a worldwide conspiracy.
People, using real names, claim to have indirect, 3rd hand, eye-witness accounts.
There's more, but it's enough to chew on for now.
