Shooting Episode ◇Filming Ohtani’s swing and pitch from 360 degrees all around! Capturing moments reminiscent of dynamic playing scenes During the filming for the new commercial, Ohtani, who had just undergone surgery, implemented a method of shooting with minimal movement. Using special equipment, cameras were placed around Ohtani on stage and moved 360 degrees to create a sense of dynamism. Ohtani, to avoid putting strain on his body, demonstrated the swing of the bat and pitching with slow movements. Although slow, those movements brought to mind dynamic playing scenes.
