Apparently, the film crew was shooting a commercial destined for abroad (possibly Japan) and won’t be shown in Australia. If anyone has any further information, please leave a comment.

    I believe they were shooting a commercial for Canon destined for the Japanese market. We won’t see be seeing it in Australia. Great shots. And what a perfect day it was.
