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 ;)

And back; thank you for the reply. The confusion begins when I type in a hurry and with a demanding cat on my lap.

Let me sort it out, I hope; if the paper be flat on a table, from the top edge of the paper, go down about 04 inches. THEN draw a line from left to right of about 06 inches. As in the 'drawing' below

HAR! I did it, I made my first computer drawing, no small feat for this Luddite. SO by the drawing, there should be a straight line down both sides to the bottom.

The take the two 'computer angles' at the end of the 06 in line,and take them to the bottom the page.  From there fill in the rest.  The drawing will match the room in the photo.

Does this help? If not PLEASE ask again

Thank you for the Intelligence and for the Asking of the Questions.

N.B. to the Kilt Question, it is a variable. If you are but a green youth, seeking the charms of the female sort . then NOTHING is worn under the kilt. It is a fine and easy garment when it comes to the ease 'of giving a lass a grass skirt'. When you have reached the age were Children ask if you knew Adam and Eve, then a pair of dark colored tight fitting boxer shorts are the choice. You do NOT want to 'make children cry, send dogs howling into the night, and knocking sparrows out of the air, '' when a strong wind carries the kilt into your face.
