...there are no special effects at all on this image, read the gizmodo post for full details.

My ass there were no 'special effects'.
You can actually see where it discharged itself into the tree above (purple glow), that guy being 'electrocuted' has been photoshopped and so has all the 'electricity dischargement'.
(PS. That's a Red Alert 2 model, not Red Alert.)

That's even an actual better excuse to prove it's been faked.
If the electricity ran down a wire to the 'allied guy', there'd be no sparks what-so-ever, at all.
Still doesn't explain the 'real' discharge into the tree above it (you can tell it's real because it's purple, which sparks of electicity are at night).

Are you the same Merovingian as on the 4HV forum? You should know better if you are.
Sounds like you are making your accusations of fakery but have not even bothered to look at the site to understand how it was done. Maybe never even seen a Tesla coil. I have extensive explanations and diagrams on my site and about 1100 photos.
I will explain if you can't bother. There is no photoshopping at all. None. It is a single 17 second exposure that does have things that happen during that 17 seconds to give the effects.
It is not "down a wire". There is a wire with a 3 foot gap held together by fishing line that the sparks jump across. During the first 10 second this first wire with gap is pulled across the long spark distance of 22ft. The camera will pick up all sparks as the line travels the distance giving the appearance similar to a single spark.
After this efect is done then there is a similar line that is pulled from the Tesla trooper through to the lower toroid and on through to the shed to the right.
There is only ever one spark at a time.
The purple streamers are nowhere near reaching the tree.
So many things are happening during that 17 seconds and are the result of a lot of planning and 4 people doing stuff behind the scenes.
Do you understand?

Its still photographic trickery... This is nowhere near a real tesla coil.

That IS a REAL Tesla Coil.
Unless you think that the Tesla Coil in Red Alert/2 is a Real thing...
Tesla Coils work differently in real life than depicted in games (they were never meant to be weapons).
