I'm sooooooo so sooooo curious why your team chose to go gimbal for that walking shot vs a dolly/rail setup. Since you were using a focus puller and trying to keep the shot suuuuper stable...It feels like you'd have been able to get the same type of shot with less takes...but I'm on this side of the video and I'm sure there were numerous reasons. I would love to hear about your process. This video is so good. Great work!

@@roryonabike5863 Well, you should watch the movie... But yes, I understand, I live in LA and being turned on is more illegal here than guns... It's important to know that different countries have different histories and if historically there was no burden of rape or abuse there will also be no pushback on sexuality. Just like some European countries historically never had slavery and called it abominable before it even happened in western countries... There will be no white guilt there naturally. I get that the ad could be weird in some western countries, but from a perspective of a different nation, demonizing sexuality is weird...
