Staged raccoon for fake documentary from @okwildlifedept

A person sets up a scene by placing a taxidermied raccoon, dressed in a vest, onto an armchair. They then position a professional microphone in front of the raccoon, staging it for a formal interview. A text overlay present throughout the video provides the comedic context: this is preparation for a Netflix documentary about the raccoon, who is framed as the creator's brother that was taken to Norway by soccer player Erling Haaland.
