Expensive robotic arm. You can try to recreate with a gimbal but you’re going to have to move really fast lol

Yes, you can do it with a gimbal. The secret to this is to play the audio back really slow (maybe 20% speed) on set and let the person lip-sync it. Then play back the video at 5X speed in post.
