The lighting on her face doesnt match the outside lighting, could have a light on her but in broad daylight?

u/bladow5990 May 25 '26
She has two large softbox lights on either side of her. Look at the reflections in her eyes, when she's facing the camera you can see the lights. It's very common to use lights during the day in video. It is also common practice to try and match the existing outdoor lighting, and this is just an example of how not to do that and why it matters astheticly.

These reporters are each in a little tent that goes up this driveway. The tent is backlit with light and light diffusers.

u/ApprehensiveTask8376 May 25 '26
Common practice to have a light on the reporter. Doesnt matter if it was daylight or not. Also I think it was overcast that day

u/LostTerminal May 26 '26
You sound pretty ignorant. Could you tell the difference between a back-firing engine on a ford pickup, an exploding power transformer, a string of firecrackers, a pneumatic driver, and an AR-15 semi-auto at a distance? Heck, even a failing metal structural support can make loud popping noises like this as it bends and creaks.

u/NecessaryDiamond3831 May 26 '26
Yes. The answer is yes. Those can be easily distinguished by someone who has been around a lot of firearms. Something that has a projectile sounds different than something without.

u/LostTerminal May 26 '26
by someone who has been around a lot of firearms.
Thanks for proving the point.
This is not everyone.

Yeah. Wait. I'm just gonna block you. It's not worth getting your stupid on me somewhere.

A gun shot can sound like a few different things depending on your proximity.

I never heard gun shots until I was in close proximity to a highway patrol training academy, when they were doing target practice. I heard it from outside after stopping by a coffee shop.

Either Trump is hated enough to have an assassination attempt weekly and shouldn’t be representing the country or its false flag attempts to garner public support and shouldn’t be representing the country.

I don’t think many people that have right wing ideology really listen to Hasan Piker and all the would be assassins have had right wing ties so that’s a very interesting theory you got there.

Oh boy...piker has long fallen from the graces of the democratic party. Even his own supporters and the people he supported have abandoned him.

u/Wu1fu May 25 '26
I don’t know if I’d say that, Al-Sayed in MI got a boost after he associated more closely with Hasan and the ensuing media frenzy about decade+ old livestream clips. People tend to say they don’t like Hasan BUT that the whole “we need to excise Hasan from the party” shtick is dumb, from my readings.

I don't even know what to believe anymore. Also it's sad how most of us know what gunfire sounds like and how most kids in the US train for lockdowns. So sad. I feel bad for the kids.

u/09Klr650 May 25 '26
Strange school shootings were not an issue when I was in elementary and high school. And we even took rifles and shotguns TO SCHOOL to hunt afterwards. We made crossbows in shop class. So what changed? Because if guns were not an issue THEN . . .
1
u/This_Cricket2919 May 25 '26
Mass shooters and domestic terrorists replaced serial killers in the sense you are speaking of. And our society is a breeding ground of maladaptive behavior. Same shit, different generation.
1
u/09Klr650 May 25 '26
Hardly. We allowed mental disease to go untreated or even encouraged it. Se let killers out to kill again. We make excuses instead of making sure the violent and mentally ill cannot kill and hurt others. Want to eliminate the mass shooters? Pass a law. Their names are not to be recorded or posted anywhere. Just assign a number. No pictures. No notoriety. No legacy other than "violent and mentally ill person was killed while attempting a mass murder".

u/SeveralSpinach6601 May 25 '26
I went to school shortly after a bomb threat at another school made them take away lockers. I remember lockdown drills from junior high up. There were multiple shootings then too. Same year. Shook the nation. I guess after it happened, clearly we changed how we think about the issue and what schools prepare for. I wonder what the difference is too. But I am sad it is clearly still happening to kids in school now.
1
u/09Klr650 May 25 '26
Your time was after mine it seems.
1
u/SeveralSpinach6601 May 25 '26
For sure. Around the 2010s. No lockers, lockdown drills, we had shooting or bomb threats at least 4 times in one year and a threat to murder a teacher notably, which sent a few tweens to jail. I have heard from teens and parents in 2026 this year they still have the same concerns we had in 2010.
1
u/09Klr650 May 25 '26
But 25 years EARLIER it was not an issue. Guns have not really changed. Semi-auto is semi-auto. And we certainly had "scary high capacity" magazines. So again, what changed?
1
u/LostTerminal May 26 '26
25 years? Try just 5. I graduated in 2005 and we never had active shooter drills. This was after Columbine, too.

u/ineedaride123 May 25 '26
Maybe it's as simple as it's a fad or a meme. The idea is put out there in the world. It's adopted and adapted. Maybe certain medications increase the population of people that are receptive to the meme, increasing the odds that one of those people will inact it. Maybe it's not medication though. Maybe it's culture that is increasing the receptive population. I don't know

u/We_Are_Nerdish May 25 '26
People saying it looks fake or it’s like a green screen.. she is standing likely under a shade tent ( for when it rains, but mostly for brighter sunny days with harsh light ). She in front of studio lights on stands.
The White House as it’s in background, is just balanced to be a neutral middle ground brightness and the lighting makes her stand out from the background since she is the subject.. not the background.
Just movies and TV series shot outside, the actors are often lit by additional lights and shaded with sun blocking defusion panels to soften and dim the direct sun light.
Also, just because the mic picks up more distinct gun fire, it’s very well possible to normal hearing it was much more noise from echo’s reflecting around.

Trump said he was funding it privately, now the richest politician on Earth says he needs our tax dollars to fund his ballroom. I miss when conservatives cared about the BS their tax dollars went to 🤦.
DEI initiatives for the past 4 years are cheaper than this ballroom will be btw.
0
u/09Klr650 May 25 '26
The SECURITY for the ballroom. Because you idiots keep trying to kill him. Fortunately you are as effective at that as you are making a budget and running your cities. How's all the "free" NYC services working out?
2
u/TheGuySawyer May 25 '26
I ask the richest politician in the world to pay for the ballroom he said he'd pay for and suddenly I personally am trying to kill him 😂. Quit being such a snowflake.
This shooting didn't even get close, the last one was stopped at a checkpoint. Seems like the security is working fine. I don't even believe these shootings are real unless you can prove how Trump's ear magically healed itself. Maybe he really is Jesus like he portrayed himself as.
How's that $2billion a day working out in Iran? We only need $200billion more in funds to open the strait that was already open before the war.

u/09Klr650 May 25 '26
"The last one". MULTIPLE attempts. Nice try liberal brainrot. And frankly I agree we should not be paying for all that in the middle east. A few well-placed kinetic kill bombs from stealth planes would handle it. Take out the leadership entirely. Play by THEIR rules.
2
u/TheGuySawyer May 25 '26
The last SHOOTING. Put what I said into context buddy because a random druggy pulling a revolver at a checkpoint isn't an assassination attempt.
As I stated, the security has worked fine. You still can't explain how Trump's ear grew back.
I can already tell you don't know anything about the Iran war because we already did take out the leadership. Iran prepared for that over 40 years ago.
You don't even have basic knowledge of recent events and you can't formulate an argument without mischaracterizing me or misrepresenting what I said.

She’s lived a very safe life and has zero self preservation skills or situational awareness.

u/Salt-Elk-436 May 25 '26
We shouldn’t consider having lived a very safe life to be a bad thing. Growing up around gunfire isn’t some type of flex.
Her self-preservation and survival skills could certainly use some work, but it’s not her fault that gunshots are an unfamiliar sound to her. They are to a lot of people
1
u/OkAccess304 May 25 '26
I never said it was a bad thing. You just did. Maybe you should stop projecting?
I didn’t grow up around gunfire. How is a critique of her response a flex of the life I didn’t have? I had a safe childhood. While that is not a bad thing, being so naive that your survival skills are zero, is a bad thing.
Sorry my observation triggered you, but you don’t have to be all that smart to understand successive loud booms are bad and abnormal.

Ever been in the country? All the time , hunters normally or just shooting ranges or back yard target shooting. All the time . Cities people still hear it a decent amount lol it’s not actually odd deep anal lmao

u/gatewaynight May 24 '26
That is very much different than hearing it outside the White House. I don’t think it’s strange for someone’s brain to search for a more rational, normal reason for what that sound was.
1
u/Jolly_Conclusion9166 May 26 '26
Hell the comment was about just hearing gunfire. Now outside the white house sure, but in DC? Not uncommon lol. All in all it’s a pretty normal sound here
1
u/Opening-Dig697 May 24 '26
It's normal for a lot of Americans. Whether it's because of gang violence or hunters/target practice down the road in rural areas, I'd have immediately recognized the gunfire, because I've heard it hundreds of times over the past 30 years.
I just heard gunfire like six hours ago. Either target practice, or somebody got a deer.
Maybe you're the sheltered people we're referring to.

I can vouch for that, I was born in Jersey City and my family moved to Detroit in 1982 during the beginning of the crack epidemic. I’ve been spending most of my life trying to get out of urban areas but with low pay and rent just high enough to limit my savings it’s really difficult to do. Gunshots are a common occurrence in every neighborhood I have lived in save for a brief few years when I moved to Redford, Michigan.
