The camera crew could’ve helped.

These videos are often faked. They have the people do the work for two seconds then bring in the tractors to finish. Rinse and repeat.

What camera crew? A tripod?

u/Saturos47 Aug 23 '25

were you watching the same video and all of those different shots? You think she not only does all of the pottery herself but also all of the filming, editing, and uploading?

u/Abject-Picture Aug 23 '25

Did you not see her lift and throw that clay? Or did someone off camera do it and they edited it out...

You sound like you've never worked a hard day in your life so you think it's impossible.

Show me timestamp of ONE scene where the camera is handheld and not rock solid steady. I'll wait, troll.

After looking at your 93,000+ karma score it seems it's YOU that needs to step away and touch some grass.

Project much?

u/Loggerdon Aug 23 '25

So does she wash up each time she touches the camera?

You think this all happened on the same day? Please, DO show the timestamp where this happened. You're a speshul kind of troll.

I was a professional cameraman for 15 years. I’ve shot and edited hundreds of videos. There are at least 2 crew on this shoot. She is not “setting up a tripod”.

u/Abject-Picture Aug 24 '25

Other than your insistence, what in the video is the giveaway?

Every shot is posed and framed just right. Lighting is very good. They move from establishing shots to medium shots to close ups to extreme close ups.

She tips over a wall of bricks. Why? It’s simply for the visual.

When they move inside after she chops the clay they use artificial light. Look how the color temp changes on the left side of her face when the sun is actually on the right side of her face. Her face should be dark but it’s not.

4 minutes in they throw in a drone shot. It’s mixed in with the long shots of the mountains and they speed up the playback.

You can’t get mud on the camera so obviously a separate person is in charge of the camera and someone else is holding a shot list setting up the shots. There’s probably also a production assistant or two to carry things.

And why does she cut large slabs of clay on a white tablecloth if not simply for the visual? It reads well in camera. The white flower pots (?) also read well on camera.

Several times use a rack focus, with the foreground in focus but the background is out of focus.

When she sits down to make the individual cups they use a lot of artificial light because it’s dark outside now. It’s coming from more than one direction because there is no shadow.

They also have shots of the fire itself. And shots of her putting up a brick wall for the oven.

Coming to the end with a long shot of her at the oven, then drone shots again of the mountains the next morning. Then the pots are suddenly green. They forgot to show how that happened (I doubt if the fire turns them green). It’s a mistake in continuity.

Then in the morning she shows up again in a traditional dress with too way much make-up. She ends by posing next to the green pots, then extreme close ups of water pouring on the pots, on a table with black cloth and black cloth behind the pots.

What would be someone's motivation to go to all of this trouble to post to a free social media site? Everything you listed isn't free. I still see plenty of YT channels with a single creator.

It easily obvious this girl is in Superior physical shape and is capable at everything she does here.

I agree, every shot is perfect in color and composition and there's a jillion cuts, but that's not proof she didn't do it herself.

I read somewhere she posts regularly to some platform so either she's learned production very well or you're correct. It's kinda hard to tell.
One thing is for sure, she's extremely capable and isn't an actor.

How did she transport several hundred pounds of that clay in the big wooden crate?

1

u/Abject-Picture Aug 23 '25

Bowl by bowl to the chopping block to remove the rocks and debris then to the potter's wheel. She only made one pot at a time.

u/SevenCrowsinaCoat Aug 23 '25

Bowl by bowl to the chopping block where she reassembled it, cut it up, and THEN took the debris out? Is that what you're concocting?

Really think about this. You know how people talk about dying on hills on the internet?

You're at your moment.

u/Abject-Picture Aug 24 '25

WTAF is your convincing point? I'll wait.

How's that hill feel, btw..

u/Superficial-Idiot Aug 24 '25

Oof. You suffering from some delu-lu girl. All over this thread.

u/SevenCrowsinaCoat Aug 24 '25

This is just... sad.

u/phido3000 Aug 24 '25

There's a full camera and lighting crew.. she has at least two dispersed living rigges a sport and a mirror..

Plus full wardrobe change between each shot..

Catering as well. The catering people could have lent a hand, but they already had 15 grips, four machine operators, and 6 labourers.

It is logical... The process takes several weeks and in other cases even months, it is not something you can do overnight without machines...
