Sadly two people have told me they have been there and it the slope that make it look different sorry
I can explain the building at the back of the chairs illusion.FL is on a STEEP HILL and the road by Holly Terrace is very steep and sweeps to the right. Therefore, the perception of shots from the ground will look very different from shots from the air.The building you see from the shots on the ground is actually the archway that the bus came under. Yes, the road is long and it looks closer in the photograph, but that is because of the steep incline of the road.I was shocked when i went to FL and saw this myself. I cant really explain to you just how steep this hill is. I still havent figured out how the people sat on the chairs on that road, as it is very steep.Remember when Prince got out of the vehicle and stumbled? People speculated it was because he was sleepy. It wasnt.. he stumbled because of how steep the hill is.
Thanks for posting, we've been talking about all this for ages but when someone like the guy in this video explains it the way he does with the vids switching back and forth it makes it all the more obvious, I wish all the non-beLIEvers could see videos like this and give their explanantion, they'd have to have pretty vivid imaginations to come up with one!
So DancingTheDream, are you totally ruling out greenscreen for the funeral, or is it still a possibility because you say the road where they all sit is too steep an incline for that? Also telephoto lens always made further away objects appear closer which would account for the 3-way in the road and the overpass structure, compressing the distance.
No matter how many times I see the footage the background just doesn't seem to "sit" right against the foreground, I thought the same about Oprah's most recent interview with LMP, the view outside the window when the camera panned round just didn't look right. Even if and it's a huge IF the road being further away in this guy's video is caused by an optical illusion (and I don't think it is), that doesn't explain the disappearing tree, remember that?! I'd love a camera crew to go in there, set things up exactly as they were that day with the chairs etc and then film. We'd then know for sure if the steep incline in fact exists and what the backsround looks like in comparison to the foreground. I don't think the two pieces of footage would match. The differences between the aerial footage and still pictures compared to what we saw on TV are many, and what about the building that disappeared? Where'd that go? To my mind a perfectionist such as MJ would have made sure there were no discrepancies, unless we were MEANT to notice them. It wasn't a perfect match because then we'd never question.
MadneZBut everytime I see that man in the fedora hat on the memorial I just feel love. And that for me is a fact that it is Michael!
