Not going away!
As much as everyone having anything to do with this would like to pretend that everything is fine and its all gong to be OK ...it's not!

Real problems / fake video.
The camera is shaking while looking at someone's Lego kit. No swaying towers, no flickering lights, no falling debris. Watch the lower right corner a few times and the parallax of a camera close to the scene being jiggled is apparent.
