During one of his last briefings, Volodymyr Zelenskyi trolled the bunker nonentity, Putin, for editing the press conference video in a chroma key. Zelenskyi moved his microphone during the record to show that it is real. This was reported by the Ukrainian media 5 Channel.
The Kremlin showed that Russian held a press conference around people, but it turned out that the speech was filmed using chroma key with background replacement and simply edited into the environment.
After analyzing the video, it became clear that the hand of the bunker dweller passes through the microphone. According to metadata, the video was edited a few days ago in Adobe After Effects, a program for various video effects. Accordingly, details in the foreground «stick» into Putin – disappear and appear when moving the hands.
Other details are that people are not reflected in the teapot in front of Putin, while everyone else is reflected. The microphones on the video are translucent, and attendees of the conference are staring into the void instead of looking at Putin.
