What video is this? I'd be interested to see.

As for using CGI to make one location look like another, I am really unbothered by that. They have been doing movie magic with locations all the time. They used to do it with backprojection or just having an establishing shot from a location and then the interiors on a soundstage at Pinewood. And of course they've always shot at a different location than what they claimed something to be. Miami Airport in CR is Prague Airport. The hovercraft chase through North Korea in DAD was shot in Aldershot. As far as I know, they never set foot in Afghanistan for TLD, that's all Morocco. The various train stations in FRWL were all shot at the same station in Istanbul and so on and so forth. In a paradoxical way it's more realistic to CGI the correct skyline or house front or whatever into a shot then to just pretend that Belgrade looks like Istanbul.
For instance, I really liked the added heels being CGI for the Paloma fight sequence, which allowing the stunts to be preformed in reasonable shoes to actually execute the real stunts.
On the contrary, the added buildings in Morocco in SP or added snow to trees doesn't really add anything for me and I'd prefer the natural environment.
As long as Bond films keep CGI to the extent that they have, I don’t mind the use of it. This isn’t as concerning as something like centering a parasurfing stunt on a CGI effect where Bond is just in front of a blue screen looking completely dry when he should be getting drenched from the mist.
The fact that many seem to not have realized what was a digital effect shows that the filmmakers did their jobs!
