1. Explain for those of us who are clueless

like me

[brooklynite]

7. A green screen is a screen that allows a digital background to be added...

The claim is that Trump (presumably sick) filmed this inside the White House and the exterior was added.

Personally, I see no evidence of that.

[malaise]

8. Thanks n/t

[cwydro]

12. Yeah, I want to know how anyone can tell?

Not disbelieving it, but I don’t understand how anyone can tell.

[LiberalFighter]

18. You can tell by the edges of his suit and rest of body.

[PatSeg]

26. Oh wow, I can see what you're saying

Jeez, there is nothing honest about this administration. Feels like "Wag the Dog".

[MagickMuffin]

9. He is NOT outside

He is somewhere inside where there is a green-screen behind him. Then editors can add any background to the scene.

Notice how the background is blurry and extremely still. They added the background of the White House lawn.


I hope this helps!

11. Green screen method

16. Thank you so much

I learn new things daily

14. Here ya go. Skip to the 2 minute mark.

In a nutshell, filming with a "green screen" in the background allows you to later edit anything into the background and insert any desired virtual background.

21. Unfreakingbelievable

Thank you

[Midnightwalk]

17. It's a common photo/video manipulation technique

You film the object or person you want in front of a solid color usually green.

Then you can run a program to substitute all the green spots out and the background picture or video you want in.

35. Green (or blue) screens...

... are how meteorologists on TV are able to stand in front of the map and point at the features of it.

They're actually in front of a physical screen that's a particular shade of green (or blue). There's a computer tied to the camera that will replace a pixel of that specific shade of green (or blue) with a pixel of another image. So where the reporter is you see what the reporter is wearing, but where the reporter isn't you see the computer image, such as the fancy weather map, behind him or her.

Sometimes the reporter will be wearing an article of clothing that is close to the green/blue screen and you'll see the image overlaid on them. You can see that in the first few minutes of "Groundhog Day"; Andie McDowell's coat is the same color as the bluescreen and you can see the weather map on it.

Drew Carey used to host a TV show where a comedian like Ryan Stiles would be in front of green screen as a roving reporter, and a couple of other comedians were playing the role of the news desk anchors. The roving reporter would have no idea what is on the green screen and would have to try to guess based on the questions the "anchors" would ask. For example, they might show footage from a Godzilla movie behind the roving reporter, or a PSA about oral hygiene, or ants fighting with a scorpion.

37. Thanks to you and all the other experts

2. W...T...F

Who, other than the Orange Hairbrain thought this was a good idea?

[ramblin_dave]

3. I wondered the same thing myself

after seeing a similar video earlier. But I haven't found any proof of this. Is there some way to examine the video technically to see if this is a green screen video?

[uppityperson]

4. Maybe it's just a really calm day with nothing happening around him

good catch.

[cwydro]

5. These videos are weird as hell.

He’s hiding something.

How can you tell it’s a green screen?

[George II]

15. Look at the outline of his head and body, he looks like your typical weather reporter on local TV.

[cwydro]

19. Lol, it does look strange.

I’m not good at detecting these things.

[OneBro]

6. Good catch! I didn't notice it before.

[uppityperson]

10. Here's the video from 5 hrs ago, exact same.

[George II]

13. Thanks. He's now released several videos with similar backgrounds. I think the one yesterday....

...was fake, too. The weather wasn't as sunny as portrayed in the video.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Looks windy....his hair is moving like there were gusts....but

watching the trees in the background where they contrast with the White House, I don't see any branch movement. Hmmmm.

[AnnaLee]

20. Blow it up on a large screen and go to the 1min mark.

Look on the upper right for a few seconds and you see the tree branches move slightly. (18 sec into the one posted by uppityperson, again on the top right clump of trees.)

[uppityperson]

22. Same places as in this one

[AnnaLee]

24. Yes! Duh? ntp

[cwydro]

38. Yeah, I'm seeing it now.

Pretty obvious when you see it.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

25. Fake pResident.

A smokescreen of dangerous deception.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. I wonder if he's leaning on something, too, or someone's propping him up?

It does look like a weatherman in front of his map that isn't really there. There's pixelation around his edges.

[TwilightZone]

29. Well, he does seem to have a stick up his ass.

So it could be that.

[Clearly fogged in]

30. It was pretty funny - picture him selling it on tv

The salespitch was just like someone here posted on a few ago about what he would do next.

[Brainfodder]

31. QVC's Used Car Salesperson of the Meth Lovers Society from Uranus?

Watched it and the earlier one, just pushing nutso to the max for his straightjacket future?

Watching Republicans squirm is new porn?

Transparent mega-partizan crap spewed by twitter support for V.P. Dense, see Mike Lee tweet thread for just a tiny sample.

This is all for their moran supporters and them only!

Disavow immediately every time it begets violence, except it seems for protesting, they have a special deal for those?

We live in a country where a dumbass can shoot 2 strangers in front of a lot of witnesses, and he gets millions via a gofundme, and some teachers have to buy their students supplies?

United States? hahaha that's a sick joke!

[Thekaspervote]

32. Why didn't they put an accordion in his hands while they were at it

I have never understood that shitty back and forward crap with his hands. Never seen anyone ever do that ridiculous repetitive movement

33. So Fat Nixon can't even waddle outside...

and has to resort to propaganda videos?..

[Silent3]

36. I agree the president is fake, but I don't see anything that proves green screen

I could see an odd little jump in the background, in the way the trees were moving, but that's perfectly consistent with video compression artifacts. Most internet video is HIGHLY compressed, so sudden blocky shifts of background scenery are common.
