Awesome work. Just genuinely curious, why wouldn’t you rather employ a stitched, digital seam technique to make it easier for shooting?

Because my intuition says me, that digital seam will feel at a micro level. The height of the camera, its speed, and many factors affect the overall perception. I would have to move closer to the walls in order to better seam, but I wanted both rooms to be visible at the time of camera move.

Agree that there is a slight sense of magic in the result video?

Curious about this too and now that you describe it this way I realized that the cart path is irregular and that is also part of the feel in the shot which would be impossible to create filming one at a time and stitching.

This is absolutely true. Even rails will made movement more boring and "digital"
