Video credits & more info for curious people:
1. This video was an experiment in shooting in one take, we actually liked the first take more than this one (this was the second) but during the first take the camera stopped recording due to battery (classic!)—so we are left with this one!
2. Yun Ho and Bruno Felaga helped prepare the shot.
3. This video was edited entirely on the command line, thanks to ffmpeg.
4. Bruno Felaga was behind the camera and he did a great job, you can see him in the first frame of the video with the clapper.
5. Everything was improvised, we only knew the sequence of the demos to keep the time minimal as we are putting on/off the wearable devices.
