claim: A video shows a pink volcano erupting in New Zealand.
origin: A video purportedly showing bright fuschia smoke billowing from a volcano frequently appears on social media, along with a claim that it shows an actual â€œpink volcanoâ€ erupting in New Zealand: Â < Pink eruption of the volcano in New Zealand > The video does not explain what chemical process might turn smoke or steam this particular shade (although with the proper dyes, it is possible to turnÂ smoke into a veritable rainbow), but it isnâ€™t particularly relevant anyway; this video does not depict an actual volcanic eruption.Â The â€œpink volcanoâ€ video was created by artist Filip Hodas,Â and was originally shared to hisÂ Facebook page in December 2016. Hodas postedÂ the video toÂ InstagramÂ (with tags such as #3D, #photoshop, #render, and #animation),Â and provided extra insight into how the video was created in response to a query on Facebook: < pretty much! depends on what I need. In this case I layered few planes with wm maps on top of each other and added a lot of zdepth fog to blend it in. > No records of volcanos emittingÂ bright pink smoke exist, except those created by digital artists.
