I read it was a drone

[@nikytamayo]

@@gayzela That would explain some of the movement, but that's a really difficult flight, especially when you put the camera between the girls. And this is remote, so if it was a drone, the pilot couldn't be in the room at the time. Much props for his precision if that is true. The way the tables are arranged, that's still possible to do with a physical 360 cam on a stick.

I wonder if this band is seen as a bit "edgy" to the older more traditional person because they speak about standing out and individuality being a virtue. So they do an homage to older/ancient vocabulary words and make them sound cool, just to score some points with the conservative folks.

[@stra2g]
