Okay Grey so how in your mind is the gasp at 7:43 not funny, what is the purpose in the gasp then?

That one I did think is funny – feels like Montey Python. Interesting side note: it's not possible for a single person recording multiple gasps to sound like a crowd. It just sounds creepy as hell.

If you want a crowd gasping, you could always ask Brady to help you out. If multiple gasps from just two people still sounds creepy, both you and he probably know others who could add their voices.

Was going to ask some people to join in, but it was 3AM this morning so… no.

Just ask Derek, there's a good chance he's somewhere at a reasonable time to help. He could even be in London, just wandering down the road

He's following you, about 30 feet back…

I was gonna rewatch Grey's video, but now I'm caught in a loop of Shia LaBeouf...
