My wife voted for Trump, but has never been vocal about politics. Last night’s production had her screaming at the TV.
Questions she starting asking right from the beginning. Where is the audience? She mentioned normally you see the parties high profile people and senators and congressman watching. She also noticed that is was a one camera shoot. She then searched for videos of other speeches by Presidents in that room. All of them were a three camera shoot, with reactions of the audience. Then she was confused when a reporter asked a question as dopey Joe turned his back on the camera. I then asked her how does she know it wasn’t recorded beforehand. I showed her this site and she is now a lurker.
I love my wife....
Hmmm this got me interested but I just watched the Obama speech for when we killed bin Laden and it was all one camera with no audience. Now that I think about it even when they spoofed a speech from that room in VEEP, they did it all one camera with no audience. I don’t think that’s super surprising. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if the WH is still operating under covid guidelines even if everyone is vaccinated so it would make sense for them to limit crew.
