The following is analyses from a professional cinematographer on President Trumps "Concession speech". Personally I thought the video looked odd, especially Trumps neck which seemed to overlap his collar in a bizarre way that made me think of the edited Julian Assange interview with RT a few years ago which obviously had AI manipulation. I got this from Vox days blog. The video does look deepfake. I am quite demoralized at the moment but this isn't "hopium", I do genuinely think the video is fake. I don't know what to make of it.
"A professional cinematographer examines the President's most recent video and shares his conclusions:
I’ve been a camera and lighting man for over 10 years with experience in visual effects. In my opinion there is a high probability that that this video is composited in post. Regarding the low resolution: If he’s getting a deep fake head transplant then the low resolution would have the benefit of smoothing out the masking around his neckline in the profile shot as well as the overly sharp and unnatural edges that outline his body and the flags in the straight-on shot. (Rotoscoping)
Low resolution would also cover up any differences in sharpness if they are compositing together two or more layers with different source resolutions. For example, a 4K Trump head onto a 1080p Trump body and podium.
Higher resolutions allow for better motion tracking, if it is a deep fake they may have ripped the background and body from a previous speech at whatever the highest resolution was they could get. Dropped it in a 4K timeline with a rendered head and then outputted at 720 or 480 to smooth out and hide the quality disparity.
Take a look at the background... it appears to be a still image, it’s rock solid, no digital noise at all. In my opinion there is also additional bokeh added to it. (Blur)
Lastly, there are lens abnormalities. These are shot on longer focal length lenses, which means you will have dramatic focus falloff. When looking at the profile shot for example, the focus falloff between GEOTUS and flags is minimal. While it is significant between the flags and the walls. However, the distance appears to be greater between GEOTUS and the flag than between the flag and walls. This is not how lenses work, at the very least the background is being altered.
Running with the deep fake idea, it’s worth noting that this video is strikingly similar to the setup where he addressed the nation regarding voter fraud last month. By that I mean the same lighting, same angles and same lens focal lengths. That video was also the first time there was an edit which awkwardly cut to a side angle. Perhaps they deep faked this demoralization propaganda into that original video.
What does it all mean? I think it’s doctored
A prerecorded PR package concession speech from GEOTUS smells like total bullshit to me. Especially considering he’s been conveniently disappeared by the tech overlords since yesterday.
If I were to speculate it seems the Deep State is trying to deflate the public. Yesterday’s happenings showed the world just how vulnerable they are when the people are determined to exact justice. They need to have our leader kneel and become diminished in our eyes before we become even more emboldened. They need our submission, it is the only way they can prevail. "
Personally, I don't know what to make of it. I do think the video is a deepfake but what that means I cannot say. Was it made by Trump or his enemies. The fact that Twitter locked Trump out of his account is suspicious worrying as they technically have the power to tweet and pretend it is from him. That being said if I was going to pretend to be trump I would do more to demoralise the base. He was ambiguous as he spoke about a peaceful transition but didn't mention Biden or concession which seems like a reference to Pompeo's comments about a peaceful transition to a second Trump administration Which if I were deepstate I would have emphasized. Maybe they didn't want to be too obvious? One could probably come up with a million different narratives but we have no idea what is true. I would like to know where Trump is. I would like to hear from him what is going on.
I suppose everything will be revealed by January 20th, good or bad. I wish you all the best Patriots.

His whole family went radio silent at pretty much the same time. Since then, we’ve seen some out of character tweets, highly suspect video, and an extremely brief presser in which Kayleigh looked scared shitless. There have been rumors and speculation, but nothing verifiable. The only ones claiming to be in the know, are telling us to sit back, and let it happen... be complacent.
We have no way of knowing if the Trump family is even alive. Trump said he’d march with the protesters (which is odd for a president to say, given unique security concerns), but he finished his speech and hasn’t been seen in person since. We know antifa helped start the fracas at the capitol building. We know capitol police did little to prevent entry, and may have explicitly allowed it. We know the NG was kept away.
So let’s indulge in some off-the-deep-end conspiracy theorizing: what if trump knew the deep state infiltration was far worse than we knew? What if he knew he was in danger? Maybe he really did plan on marching, being safer surrounded by a million ardent loyalists than his own security detail. But then the “riot” happened. He was likely whisked away to a nearby secure location along with his family, under the pretense of uncertainty about how bad the “riot” could escalate. Remember the two unlikely bomb reports? What if the security detail had no intention of keeping him safe?
When the Romanovs were slaughtered, they were led to a little half-basement to keep them safe from a claimed approaching enemy force. They were led by an officer charged with their safety. After they were in position, he let his fellow communists in, and they brutally murdered the entire family. Nicholas II, even after falling from power, had endured extensive propaganda campaigns. They billed him as a callous tyrant and worse. After the propaganda had turned the populace against him, they slaughtered him and his family to ensure neither he nor his descendants could ever become a threat to communist rule. This all sounds a little familiar doesn’t it?
So why the deepfake? It’s a lot harder to make a prominent figure disappear than it was a hundred years ago. If the Trumps have indeed gone the way of the Romanovs, they would have to come up with some way of explaining either their deaths or disappearances. Lately they’ve been putting some pretty impressive effort into spinning the narrative that Trump supporters are insurgents and terrorists. They’ve been hammering away at the narrative that he would never vacate the white house willingly since before he was even elected. So, what if the 20th comes along and we start hearing reports that Trump has refused to leave. There might even be another deepfake video broadcast of him making the statement “himself”. He will be said to have a small loyalist security or military, or even militia contingent guarding him, and preventing access to the new administration. Then, the military gets sent in, anyone actually guarding the white house are killed in the fray, and after the lead stops flying and the fires are put out, the remains of the whole family are discovered. Now, we can finally build back better.
Do I really think that all that is happening?... maybe a little. But I really fucking hope not. I desperately want there to be a logical explanation for the deepfakes and the simultaneous silence from the Trump family that doesn’t involve them being imprisoned or harmed. I hope they’re safe and well. But I’m deeply worried that they are not. The left likes false flags, and they seem to have a fondness for repeating history’s mistakes and atrocities. Pay attention to the shifting narratives, and hope Trumps don’t become Romanovs 2.0.
