Richard Stallman then explains how and why he left the MIT Lab for Artificial Intelligence in order to devote his life to the development of free software, as well as how he started with the GNU project.

I used a Sennheiser MKE400 shotgun microphone for audio, a Manfrotto 501 tripod head with Manfrotto 3221wn legs, a IGUS Drylin Camera Slider W1080-B with Benro 3580 legs and a Fader ND Mark II filter by Fader. For lenses, I utilized the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L and the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS lenses. The Canon EOS 1D Mark IV was also used to capture the Canon EOS Rebel T3i in action during the video shoot. The Canon EOS 1D Mark IV used a Rode VideoMic shotgun microphone for audio.
