Look at his reaction. He's like "Oooooh shit." I can't read if that is a "Oops, I'm sorry, didn't mean that" or "Oops, I got busted". He doesn't seem to like that there were cameras around. I think it was either unintentional or subconscious. His interest appeared to be directed elsewhere at that moment.
In any case, those are his kids. It's not secretly some child-wedding thing. Here pic) is him with his wife and two kids (older lady is some actress from the movie).
It's the combination of camera angle and greater distance being taken up by zoom. You can the telephoto stacking effect.
I mean that after the "oh shut" moment he notices that all of the camera saw it; and you can see his brain calculating the chances of people seeing it the wrong way and what the implications will be.
>No. The chair back is below his shoulders by several inches in one, and above by several inches in the other, with the same camera angle. You can't do that with zoom.
You can with the combination of camera angle and zoom. It requires that there be a significant gap between his shoulders and the back of the chair. It looks like POTUS was sitting of the edge of his chair to remind himself to sit up straight and bold while on TV.
>it's the same fucking angle
In one he's reading from a teleprompter above the camera. On the other he's reading from a teleprompter below the camera.
One teleprompter, two cameras. Not the same angle.
Autist-level detail spotting without autist-level thinking ability is a bad combination.
