Same prefabbed staging area for interviews. The company I work for is making these false rooms right now for streaming. We didn't make that one, but this would be my guess.

Hay Ho! You are the same type of field I was once in -stage props and sets. So, may I ask the following? Take a look at the back wall, with the same photo. Note the narrow end to the 'room'. Then follow the two walls out to the camera. Do you see what I see, perhaps? The 'room ' is an open ended triangle with a flat top rather than a point.

If I am right, this perspective screams, stage set!

Which is the right way to do these interviews-- it keeps the commies off the scent

Yeah, stage and set production of all aspects for going on 2 decades now. Looks like an open ended trapezium. I'd use this for lighting capture.

THANK YOU for the 'ten dollar word" I could NOT recall-- a trapezium! And thank you for the 'up vote' of my theory. It means I am NOT so out of practice as I thought I might be.

I'm not in your industry, just an anal observer, and I noticed that something wasn't quite right about the space, but couldn't put my finger on it. This could be why?

First up, do not insult yourself with the comment 'anal observer;. It is just such people as thee and I who LEARN from clews we see--rather than accept what we are told.

IMHO- this is exactly why, the why of the photo. To better understand this, please try this experiment. Take a sheet of plain white paper. At the top somewhere, draw a short line left to right, about 06 inches long, centered on the paper. Then draw a line from the bottom edge of the paper to the end of the drawn line, on both sides.

You now have a drawing of the room. In the drawing, sketch in a crude camera in the center bottom of the paper, then one lamp to each side. Next sketch in a chair and stick figure at about mid way point between the 'camera' and the 'back wall' of 06 inches.

Last take your drawing and place it were you can compare the photo of Gently. Flynn. You will see how closely they match.

Thank you for using the Gift of Intelligence in this matter, and for the Note to me

Thank you for the thoughtful reply and the information. I'm a little confused with the instructions: "at the top" "centered on the paper." Am I meant to draw the 6in line towards the top of a sheet of a piece of paper, but centered on it?

And, as one observer to the next, what do men wear under those kilts ;)

The top left picture, the window most definitely has an artificial light on it, from the outside

Frosted glass, so you get the effect of light, but can't see through it.

No, the color is all wrong and it looks like a spotlight. I understand it's frosted but the 'outside' lighting is still bad

I agree with you, you use frosted glass like that on sets unless you're doing full landscaping/scenery.
