#Oscar is a camera operator because apparent Lando can’t film and ask questions at the same time

Carlos’ millions of followers want to know who he’s giving heart eyes to behind the camera of so many of his videos.

Or a little carcar au ficlet idea.

Oscar rolls his eyes at the first question Lando reads out before realising that Carlos’ eyes are on him, an amused twist to his lips.

Oscar knows this because he’s had to review and edit hours of footage featuring Carlos.

When Lando first asks Oscar to be his ‘cameraman’ for a client, Oscar just looks at him dubiously, but Lando promises that it is legitimate, he just needs someone he can trust.

Turns out his client is Carlos Sainz Jr.

Oscar doesn’t live under a rock and so is well aware of the popular influencer, thrust into the public eye care of his famous father, Carlos had stayed largely out of the public eye until in 2020, seemingly bored out of his mind during lockdown Carlos had started a public Instagram.

Five years later and Carlos had over 10 million followers and had decided that he needed some professional assistance.

The goal of a good reality filmmaker is to blend into their environment, to capture their subject and not affect what is happening.

Turns out Oscar isn’t great at any of that.

Luckily for him Carlos doesn’t seem to care. Quite the opposite, over the last six months that Oscar has been assisting Lando with filming, Carlos has made it his mission to get Oscar to laugh.

He doesnt mean to become a viral sensation. In fact it’s all Carlos’ fault.

If it were up to him the footage would never have been uploaded. Unfortunately for Oscar, he doesn’t make those calls.

The video is pretty standard, it’s an ‘AMA’ style with Lando reading out questions and Carlos answering them. That is until Lando asks, “Carlos, describe your perfect date?”

Carlos feigns deep thought for a moment before responding, “April 25th because it's not too hot or too cold.” And Oscar can’t stop the snort from escaping. Carlos looks triumphant and yells “Aha!” Pointing to Oscar offscreen, even as the camera is dropping downwards and to the ground, you can hear Carlos crowing with glee.

Needless to say the internet goes insane trying to work out who Carlos is so happy to amuse.

In the end, Oscar thinks Carlos might actually be trying to break the internet, and his mind when he starts throwing out suggestive double entendres.

His main goal, to get Oscar to drag them behind the nearest closed door, leaving Lando behind.

Lando is thankful they are away from the public eye, but he also looks like he’s questioning every single life choice he’s made up until that point.

Oscar doesn’t regret a thing.
