Notice the abrupt zoom at about :15
I'm trying to completely eliminate the possibility that this is some kind of perspective thing. The very last frame shows a blue box? that can be seen in the first frame, indicating that the shelving wall unit is still there. In the middle (where you see the woman replace the guy at the desk), you can also see papers on the shelf/wall the were visible at first.
However, the disappearance of any trace of the guy sitting at the computer is inexplicable to me.
I would say this had to be two different "takes" spliced together, but there is the uninterrupted, fluid motion of the doctors behind him, as well as the girl standing off to the left.
That's the whole point tho
they cut together two different segments to make it appear as a continuous take.
go back and watch the vid and tell me when they moved him.
This is the widest shot. The circled part doesn't seem explicable through wide angle distortion at all. Looks like a separate "lens" magnifying a guy at a computer that isn't there anytime else during the vid.
Perspective explains why the clock and first aid kit on the wall become blocked, but not this.
You're deliberately obsfucating the point.
If they "moved" him, they moved everything including the cart of medical supplies into the exact same spot.
They didn't capture that movement so it was two separate video segments pieced together to look like it was one continuous piece.
That's production fuckery.
The part where I'm stuck is the guy sitting behind the computer screen.
There is OBVIOUSLY some kind of transparent barrier in front of him…plexiglass or something which is distorting/magnifying the edge of the wall unit. (You can see this in the papers attached to it.)
In the wide shot, there is no visibility on the other half of that barrier at all…even though we see the edge of the wall unit.
Assuming the woman is standing at a big long reception desk with the guy at the computer next to her…just doesn't look right, even considering wide angle.
Would a simple plastic or plexiglass barrier distort what's behind it to that extent?
not a lot of activity in those hallways
