If you have to steal video from the internet to pitch your idea to investors? You fail. | smirks. I sat down and did some research on this, and I hate to inform ya... it's real.
I'll tell you right now to worry you a little bit
Brad Greenspan is one of the principles of the project. He can't "hide" very well - considering he's the original founder of Myspace. The media is pretty well acquainted with the guy (given he's been griefing Rupert Murdoch in the courts, good for him), and he's not exactly poor.
OTOY is a real engine and has been used for professional cinematic rendering for a while. The "lifted" video is artwork done by employees of OTOY and JulesWorld, and rendered in that engine.
The "cloud" is AMD's donation - a showpiece for their newest ATi HD 4000 series processors. Naw, they know nothing about graphics. Nuuh.
But hey, why should I expect facts from a guy who complains about people who can make sculpties ruining his business. I'll be happy to migrate to an OTOY world provided it gives me what I need.
I do see there are technical problems to overcome... but it is not a fake.

"I suppose so," said Alice.
"Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."
"I call it purring, not growling," said Alice.
"Call it what you like," said the Cat.
