We Wish You a Turtle Christmas picture

Visible crew/equipment: During the performance of "Gotta Get A Gift", there is a handheld camera shot where the turtles are walking towards the camera singing the chorus while the camera moves around them. Just before the camera cuts to another shot, a stage light can be seen in the background to the left of shot, behind Michelangelo. Additionally, two shots after this, the same stage light can be seen again in the far background and can also be seen right at the start of the shot after that for a brief moment.

Suggested correction: This brilliant shot is not photographed by a camera on a track but on an overhead crane (in order to clear the orchestra pit) so there are no tracks visible.

If you watch closely, you can tell that the shadows are of the camera man and the camera.
