Her shadow cuts off abruptly. Is this a green screen? Since there is already a dead comment about that, I'm guessing I'm wrong for some obvious reason, but I can't place it.

There's at least one or two steps of a stair, so the "top" part is lower than the front part, thus making the shadow get cut off.

You can see the shadow on the bag on the right side in the beginning.

I thought so too, but someone pointed out that she is standing on a raised location with descending steps behind it, causing the shadow to be hidden from view.

I think this is also the road featured in Top Gear a while back. I know nothing about Myanman politics so I won't wax poetic about anything

I haven't even seen that Top Gear episode but I'm sure it's the same one. This, the main highway in Naypyitaw, is very famous for its incredible width and underutilization. Trip Advisor rates it the #2 best place to visit in the capital city: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g2036450-d1213...

I've been there. It is awesome. Myanmar, I mean.

The video appears to be taken from this spot, facing roughly due west:

After the vehicles pass through the roadblock, they can be seen to turn left, heading towards the Presidential Palace.
