It does look like these segments were actually filmed outside, but surely they wouldn't do that in case they were overheard?
@jamesthomson all the people around them are apple employees and fbi agents
@jamesthomson people were looking at him so I did wonder this myself. Did they go Milli Vanilli?!?
@jamesthomson My conspiracy theory is that the people in the background are all actors
@nileane @jamesthomson +1. Outside of view, there are probably fences ensuring nobody from the public can just walk by, the parks are rented for a day of filming, and everyone in scene has signed an NDA about what is being said.
@jamesthomson The people in the background look a bit CGI’d
@jamesthomson I just saw what I think was a wrinkle in a greenscreen behind the speaker, so I'm guessing not
@jamesthomson Their dubbing is incredible if they’re doing the audio elsewhere

@jamesthomson With Apple's level of funding - I bet they bought/rented the whole area.
@jamesthomson I was wondering if they blocked off all these outdoor locations when filming and populated them with their own extras? But that would be picked up by people/the media too right?
@jamesthomson snipers. a headshot to any non-NDA'd passerby get too close.
@jamesthomson Where’s @tvaziri or the Corridor Crew? Are these “outdoor” scenes filmed in a Volume?
@jamesthomson @tvaziri Now I can’t unsee how Volume-like these setups are 🤔
@jamesthomson I wouldn’t be surprised if they built or rented a “Volume” filming set with a LCD background to get that outdoor look on small stages
@jamesthomson Sure looks like it…but maybe green-screen?
@jamesthomson …and filming with a telephoto to make the people in the background look closer?
@jamesthomson I was wondering the same thing.
@jamesthomson actual filming is done completely silently with no mouth movements. Later in a secure studio they record the dialogue and then Apple AI creates the mouth movements to match.
