UNDENIABLY AND IRREVOCABLY

THE director clapped to get everyone's attention.  "Okay, everyone in position!" 

The small cameras flew up, surrounding Astrid's position.  The cameramen who were controlling the small drones made sure that he would be captured at any angle.  The lighting crew also started to do their part. 

Astrid ignored all the bustle around him.  He closed his eyes and cleared his mind.  He put his emotion at zero.  So, it would be easy for him to dig out the right emotion later.  And he just calmly waited for the signal of the director to begin.

Before he could hear the signal, he first heard the music from the sound pods in his ears.  The director probably did that so he could ready himself easily.  He smiled inwardly.  It seemed the director wasn't that strict as one migh immediately think.
