Also, what's your camera setup like? I thought it was weird how the farther away parts were kind of jerky, but the foreground was really smooth and clear. I think it's be really cool to use whatever that is on a short film, couod you fill me in?

Thanks for the feedback - it was a unique technological anomaly, but I'll fill you in.
I tried shooting the vid with my Nexus 7 2nd Gen tablet. The lens did a terrible job of maintaining focus as I flipped through the LPs so I got creative and grabbed my Sony Cybershot 7.2MP beast from January of 2005. For as old as it is, the massive thing is a tank and takes fantastic stills in low to medium light environments - perfect for the hundreds of shots I take of my vinyl acquisitions.
The camera features a video function, and I found that despite its lower resolution, the lens did an impressive job at keeping focus. The vid is a one-off first take, and when I uploaded it to YT the site detected some shakiness in the vid and offered to auto-center the frames. The result is the vid you saw.
