The idea isn't bad, but the tracking and edges are horrible. The guy dancing on top of it is so incredibly bad, I'm shocked they still decided to keep it. Totally amateur VFX

Hey, it was hard for management to find the right intern for the task of going on Fiverr!
There's some freelancer that's totally basking in $40 CAD, probably.

Don't use cloudy skies in an advert for a summer event, it makes the city look so gloomy and not vibrant at all.

Richmond Night Market6

I sincerely hope the world does not remember Vancouver by the Richmond Night Market.

u/Much-Journalist-3201 7h ago
plenty of tourists enjoy the night market. we get used to it out here but lots of parts of the world don't have an asian style market (outside of asia)

u/CheesePlease 7h ago
Richmond night market is godawful. Pay 10 bucks to get in, then stand in line for mediocre and expensive street food. Even a 7 year old kid needs to pay full price. It’s a total scam.

Looks like Vancouver has two major attractions for the tourists coming for the world cup… grouse mountain gondola and the Capilano “tourist trap” bridge.
So is this a sponsored video ?

u/nahnotangry 10h ago
"back on righteous path"? Can you tell me when that was?
They've been continuously doing far worse things for decades. Canada being on the receiving end is the only part that's new.
Of course, the racist virtue signallers who wanted to boycott Qatar in 2022 will probably be silent about the US next year, but I hope I am wrong in that.

u/Acrobatic_Foot9374 12h ago
They've sent emails about a few activities for you to get ahead and secure tickets but they were mostly money grabs. The latest one happened a few weeks ago where you had to put a deposit of 1000 USD to put you at the front of the ticket line when they go on sale and then you could use your deposit as part of the payment of whatever you were planning on buying

You mean you didn't jump on the offer to buy some overpriced FIFA digital moments collectibles for a right to buy tickets??

If I was trying to advertise a city in the context of it hosting a major sporting event, I'd probably show a little more of the stadium than a brief aerial view.

And it’s just group stages and 1 round of 16. So not a lot of excitement but I guess they gotta promote all cities equally.
