I see the same thing regarding CGI in film and TV shows on certain blogs by movie critics and super fans. They make statements similar to "That's the worst CGI ever" "I could have done better on my iPhone" "Did they pay someone working in their basement for that work ?"

The fact is, without a trained eye or looping the problematic moment for the viewer to gaze at intensely, they simple will not notice these things in moving images that are on screen for seconds (3 to 4 second maybe). My aunties, sisters, female cousins, etc. only see pretty lashes and want to get whatever the lady on the screen is using to get them so long and pretty. They will not see that the tracking was not done great and lashes are not maintaining alignment by more than 4 pixels as the eyes move.

Few viewers will recognize most errors. But everyone has a chance to see them, and the wider the audience, the more eyeballs there are. People do notice bad cutouts, floating shadows (or incorrect shadows), etc, etc., even though few people will be conscious of any one thing which makes it seem 'off'.

So what?  That dude that owns that FB needs to get a life.  Worst than pixel peeping.  Someone would actually waste their time going frame by frame to look for faults...on a 2012 commercial?  So silly.

If you are ACTUALLY good. You can spot it in real time.
I'm sorry that it's a skill you have to pretend doesn't exist so you can justify yourself as a creative.

I and many other people can spot things like this without framing through.
