Did Obama Shoot His Weekly Address in Front of a Green Screen?

If he did, it only matters because he claims that he’s on site in Detroit. Since he said that, if he’s not, then the president lies in the opening sentence or two of what should be an apolitical address. It’s not a campaign speech, but a president addressing the people.

That said, here’s the video, followed by my opinion of whether it’s fake or not.

I’ve been doing green screen video effects for about 15 years, starting at NASA and then for Hot Air. So I’ve done hundreds of productions using green screen technology, in a variety of settings and using a variety of gear. And in my opinion, the president’s video was shot using a green screen.

There are a couple of giveaways. One is the lack of real depth of field in the shot. The background looks flat and unreal, kind of lifeless — like a photograph. No light flickers, no movement at all. If he was really in the factory, a competent lighting director would probably light him and it to show some separation and depth, by having the factory be noticeably darker than the foreground subject. There are also digital artifacts around his shoulders and head, the kind of artifacts one tends to see in even the best green screens. You can see them in the close-ups, mainly around the left side of his head. It looks like they used virtual set tech to get the long shots and close-ups to look believable, but it’s pretty much a fail.

This wouldn’t be a big deal, except that he says “I’m here in Detroit visiting workers at a GM plant.” There are no workers in the shot, and he’s not at a factory. So like his jobs bill that he’s selling in the video, the video itself is a fraud.

How fitting, that a friend of a Weatherman would resort to the schtick of weather men.

视频截图：奥巴马演讲视频涉嫌造假，被指“悬浮视察”

　　据英国《每日电讯报》10月18日报道，美国总统奥巴马(Obama)的一段网上演讲视频日前被指造假，一些视频专家称，奥巴马在视频中的演讲背景被人为修改成了底特律一汽车工厂的生产线，有“悬浮视察”之嫌。

　　据悉，奥巴马在这段视频中演讲的主题是增加就业率的问题，选择汽车工厂的生产线作为背景十分恰当。然而视频专家说，该视频中奥巴马总统头部和肩部的线条都太突兀了，显然后面的工厂背景是后来人为加入的，奥巴马实际上是在一个绿色屏幕前拍摄的这段演讲视频。

　　一名专家称：“这个视频显然是合成的，而且操作手法有待改进。奥巴马总统与现场根本没有完美融合。”

　　美国白宫否认视频造假的指责。(沈姝华)

President Obama in 'video trick' weekly address
Watch the video of President Obama's weekly internet address that led some observers to suggest that the US leader was in fact sat in front of a 'green screen' and not a car production line in Detroit

9:43PM BST 18 Oct 2011

Experts in video effects said Mr Obama's talk on boosting employment had actually been recorded in front of a neutral "green screen" and the factory background filled in later.

They said the edges around the president's head and shoulders were too sharp.

"The shot is obviously a composite and a 'weatherman quality' one," one professional in the field told BigGovernment website. "President Obama doesn't blend into the scene at all."

The White House denied the accusations.

** UPDATE: White House Denies **Was President Obama Really Sitting in Front of an Assembly Line in this Video?
by Larry O'Connor

UPDATE: The White House has responded to our inquiry and they deny that this week’s weekly address video was shot in front of a green screen. They also explained that the production line that the president was posed in front of is always shut-down on Fridays, the day President Obama taped his message. It’s impossible to resist the temptation to speculate that this odd production schedule must suggest that the production line is designated for the Chevy Volt.

President Obama delivered his weekly address to the nation from Detroit, Michigan this week after visiting workers at a GM assembly plant. When the video hit at Breitbart.tv, our tip box suddenly became very active with people claiming that the President was actually sitting in front of a green screen and the background image was really a composite image of an assembly line.

In the image below, you can see a black outline around the president’s shoulder, and you can see the background image slightly distorted around the president’s ear.

Several experts in the field of video effects have given us their opinions on the matter. Some examples of their takes:

It is a complete lie as this is so obviously green screen it ridiculous! I have been doing green screen for a very long time and although the Key on the green screen is very well done it shows the clean edges that a natural environment doesn’t have. Also, they have added an ambient sound of an empty warehouse and buzz of the transformers to make it more believable.
It’s a green screen, IMO. Notice the lines and cables behind him, they are totally still. Even if a factory is abandoned lines don’t just hang frozen like that. When I took it to full screen HD the most telling part for me were the areas around his head.
It definitely looks greenscreen to me. there’s a lot of artifacting going on around the edges, which makes me think it was keyed out. also, the spacial relationships look off…just doesn’t seem to fit…however, around his hair, I don’t see any traces of the keyed out background…this is usually a good place to see some artifacting from the keys.. that said, its tough to say definitively, but it does look greenscreen
I’m an expert with 20 years of experience in digital visual effects. I’ve been the visual effects supervisor on features and TV shows. I was also the editor-in-chief of two magazines, I’ve hosted dozens of instructional videos and I’ve taught hundreds of seminars around the world. The shot is obviously a composite and a ‘weatherman quality’ one. In it’s front of a still photo and President Obama doesn’t blend into the scene at all.
I just spoke to a friend of my from Skywalker Ranch. He has been doing Visual X for 2o years. He said “100 % Green Screen” and He LOVES Obama. He was also crushed by watching the video.
My brother – Emmy award winning VFX artist. – at first thought it was green screen but after looking at it thinks it was likely shot

It’s likely that if the video was shot in front of a green screen, it was so the president wouldn’t disrupt the important work being done at the factory. If this is the case, it does bring up several interesting questions about the stage-management of the presidency. President Obama has been routinely placed in front of stirring backgrounds dating back to his candidacy. The Greek columns placed behind him for his nomination acceptance in Denver was a perfect example of his reliance on visual imagery to convey an important, unspoken message to his audience.

It’s true that the president was in Detroit. And it’s probably true that it would have been wrong for him to shut down production for the sake of taping his weekly address. That being said, why go to the great lengths they went to (assuming this was a green screen composite) just to convey the image of the president sitting on a factory floor? What does it say about the White House’s desire to manipulate reality to evoke an emotional response from voters?

Here is the full video. We’re interested in your opinion. We’ve asked the White House about it and as soon as they respond, we’ll let you know.

White House falsehood 100%

The background is a still image shoot because the image is perfectly STILL!

Pay attention to the sheets of production record papers hung on the car bonnet they don't move in the A/C ventilation air at all. It Obama sitting in a still air room?


Even the bloody US dollar currency officially printed by this con man's White House are all worthless counterfeit monies! So the falsehood of a video is actually nothing!
:oIo:

Obama or Adam Khoo; they are all the same. Always be wary of overly optimistic speakers/charlatans who assure you of change, success or the moon with the proviso that you give them X or Y.
