Is this BillBoard for Real?

[mikkojay]

Check out this billboard- I found it on this page.

It almost looks fake- what do you think?

They'd need a *lot* of power to pull off those red beams without any fog. My guess is that the image was either photoshopped, or else the billboard was set up just for the picture and then taken down. (Probably photoshopped though, as part of a concept ad that they pitched to a client.)

I'd say it was photoshopped too, wouldn't there be a big bright area where the beam meets the billboard?

They could use some fiber optic of some sort and some red light source...

Or they could use thin red rope tied to a painted black eyelet on the bottom.

It doesn't look real at all...

Here's a bigger version:

Lol.. On another message board I post on, totally unrelated to lasers; this was posted:

Good find!

It looks like the red lines start a little before the actual supposed projector. I've illustrated.

Wow- that blow-up really says it all-
Damn those non-laser people!

Definately a photoshop job by a typical marketing/advertising liar. The two red lines come from the same point on the right "projector", but they diverge from a point beyond the one on the left. The hack who did it has as little knowledge of fundamental geometry as they have of integrity.
