Well, correct me if I am wrong, but I would assume that it takes months of discussions and negotiations to get celebrities to do a training video in the exact format you want. You need directors, lighting, sound and then video editors to cut and place your timers etc (as seen on the app). And then no celebrity comes out willingly saying I want to do this. You have financial and legal discussions and what not. So, I really disagree with you saying that they did this in a matter of weeks. I do agree that the timing to release these couldn't have been any better.

If that was indeed the case with them, then they really had some foresight.

Because this is the 4th week of lockdown here and they didn't have all these celeb classes before that.

Also there isn't a lot of special lightning, direction going in some of those vids. Definitely seems like a non trivial amount of work, though.
