Maduro now resorts to using "bluescreen tech" to fool Venezuelans

Did you know this about the "blue screens"?

translated from Spanish

Somebody sent me a video where Maduro is seen acting, as if to make a movie, or possibly a publicity wedge.

Sure --- in my opinion --- that he did it to pose as famous, great, and to seem to be flattered by thousands of people, followers, admirers, chavista, etc., ... all fictitious.

Here you can see the 1:00 video where Maduro is seen doing his performance, surrounded by what appear to be "blue screens" (see below what it means):

What are "blue screens"?

In Spanish, this technology, which is used on a daily basis in the production of propaganda, news, and movies, is called "chroma."

(The US government, the Pentagon, uses this film technology to deceive its people and the world, particularly with respect to "terrorism" or "enemy." )

Well, to conclude ...

Assuming Maduro uses this chrome technique to make his propaganda ...

Do not you think it's low and dishonest on your part?

Is not that lying?

Video cameras (as opposed to film cameras) work better with green screen chroma. With that said, those are blue flags in the video. There were also yellow and red flags in the video. That's not blue screen. You wouldn't shoot chroma outside, anyhow. Usually in studios on a cyc wall and LOTS of lighting to give separation.

I've worked on many a film shoot for short films, TV series, and commercials.

Still, the whole bit was a fraud. There were no adoring masses. All of it on an empty stage.
