That would be my guess.

I am curious about whether it is normal to video a shoot like this.
Speaking as a lawyer I can observe in this case it was a very good
idea.

Yes.

But although, as you point out, we don't see them, it is possible they
were there and off-camera.  Further, as I understand it she held
herself out to be a professional videographer and charged the campaign
for producing videos (remember, no snide remarks!) so she surely can't
plead total ignorance (I said no snickers!).
