I've done film lighting, know differences between it and TV lighting. and there is a dead giveaway in the set lighting in this. It is actually TV-lit, though usable for still photos too. That is NOT the actual Oval Office, whose lighting is different, way different. Clues are the shadows within the flag surface textures, and the reflection on the desktop. Also there is a special flatness in luminosity here typical of TV set lighting. And yes, the windows are a giveaway too. Fake set, not the real White House.
Whats your thoughts on what Im 100% were green screened Presidential statements from Trump?
Plenty good chance some were green screened, but I don't ascribe evil to that, more like efficiency. My guess is all presidents since Obama have benefited from digital technology advances. However, in Biden's cases I think it's being used to mask Biden health issues; they are keeping him under close control.
That is literally just Trump and arguably Biden.
Can we compare to Trump vids? I mean would we be surprised if the President wasn’t actually signing laws inside a building that you could toss a nice football spiral at from the road in the middle of DC?
I’ve done lighting for video, not film however. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on Clintons podium that lit up during the 2nd(?) debate between her and trump. It looked like a computer screen came on as the candidates came out to the podium
I would like to help but I have no quick easy sources to see what it looked like. My guess is you're describing maybe a tablet screen on the podium. If so, we may be able to see it slightly lighting up her front but it will be very dim.
ADDED: I withdraw my previous objections due to finding evidence of Trump era office having this flat lighting. I was wrong and I admit it. ---------------- old material below
Of course. However, the Oval Office has a ceiling and painted walls. They affect certain qualities of the lighting in ways that an open roofed set does not! One can see this if one has worked on sets. In the real office one can bounce light off the ceiling and this gives particular qualities to the smoothness of lighting. In a set with open roof, lighting has to be diffused in certain ways with gels or umbrellas, and this quality is visible if you know what to look for. That's why I noted the texture on the flag and other things. Another thing is, when you light for green screen, you have to light flat or else hot spots show on the green screen, affecting quality of the matting / overlay. The Biden shots show they lit flat probably to assist this. (On the other hand, today's LED light boxes for video are inherently flat without big hot spots anyway.)
