He seemed extremely careful not to let his daughter walk through him. He always made room for her. I wonder if there have been studies done to assess how creepy it might be to have a family member walk right through you...

I think it was more of a gut reaction of "here's something moving towards me, let me get out of its way", rather than being extremely careful. I don't think we're at all ready for having things passing through us.

I believe he was demonstrating spatial awareness, or perhaps it's merely because the compositer doesn't do well with intersection.

I also found it interesting (though possibly scripted) how he stuck his hand out at 2:55 as if to try to stop her from falling.
