  2. Where are the cameras? There are crane shots but no cranes. There should be camera people showing up in each other's shots.

    Maybe it wasn't as spontaneous as all that. It looks as choreographed as this:

  3. From the youtube page:

    On the 130th anniversary of the founding of Banco Sabadell we wanted to pay homage to our city by means of the campaign "Som Sabadell" (We are Sabadell) . This is the flashmob that we arranged as a final culmination with the participation of 100 people from the Vallès Symphony Orchestra, the Lieder, Amics de l'Òpera and Coral Belles Arts choirs.


    The high shots look to me to be from the buildings, and there are a lot of people filming (many with phones, yes). It's impossible to know how many were filming this.

    But yes, it was arranged by a pr agency.

  4. and the people on the street were actors?? which was the point, these flashmobs have become interesting outreach (aka public relations) efforts by arts organizations.

    Sometimes you just close your eyes and enjoy.

  5. "and the people on the street were actors??"

    Not saying that, and I doubt that they were.
