A better question is why in the world wouldn’t you? Clearly FreddieW agreed and thus created the [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hacksmith) ‘Light Warfare’ video that is one minute of ridiculousness. According to FreddieW, the shooting spanned over two days and the sweet-ass [weapon and grenade animation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vividq-call-of-duty) was perfected by Sam and Niko who are MW Short directors. Be sure to watch the video for the kickass illuminating battle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Reality Gaming:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the gaming industry by creating immersive virtual reality experiences. - **Youtube Entertainment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the online entertainment industry by producing high-quality and unique content for YouTube. - **Animation Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the animation industry by developing advanced animation techniques and tools for creating realistic effects. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the gaming industry by incorporating virtual reality technology into gameplay experiences. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the entertainment industry by leveraging YouTube as a platform for delivering engaging and visually impressive content. - **Animation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the animation industry by pushing the boundaries of animation technology to create visually stunning effects for videos and films. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canadian Creator-Approved Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hacksmith.md) - [Vivid Video Conference Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-conference-light.md) - [Festive Light Painting Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-painting-1.md) - [Promotional Influencer Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activision-1.md) - [Long-Range Laser Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumitwin-dl700.md) - [LED-Powered Laser Swords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-series-obiwan-kenobi-force-fx-elite-lightsaber.md) - [Powerfully Compact Tactical Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactical-flashlight.md) - [Cinematic Video Game Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droga5s-wake-up.md) - [Feature-Length Wine Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-tv.md)
