| Hey, If Obama Didn't Coordinate With SuperPAC on Soptic Ad, How Come He's Wearing The Same Shirt In Each of Their Ads?Via Meredith Dake. Two different completely uncoordinated ad campaigns. But the same shirt.![]() More: PrioritiesUSA claims that its ad was shot in a "union hall," and not in Scoptic's house, as Obama's ad was. Union hall? For one thing, it looks like a house. For another thing, why does Scoptic have his hat on a bureau at his "union hall"? Sure looks like it's his home in both cases. Hmm: Not sure I'm right about that. I'm looking at the PrioritiesUSA scenery, and it just might be a union hall, like an office in the back. The glass at the right of the frame has an institutional architecture look, not a residential architecture look, and the "door" looks like it might be a room divider. Well, guy still prepared the same ad for Stephanie Cutter in his phone conference for OFA. But Wait: I aired my questions to Meredith Dake. She answers that she thinks both clips were shot in an institutional setting, i.e., the same union hall. Ah.

Obama is wearing the same shirt? Didn't Mooochelle train him in never wearing the same $56,000 shirt twice??

Besides the shirt, and the sign that says, "I cut this ad for access to Cutter's cooter*," what makes you think it was coordinated? *until Cutter releases the names of all of the men and women she's had sex with, and they have verified that they indeed poked her, we can assume that the guy who told me she's slut is totally trustworthy on this point.

Dera Reader, the Lyin Jackass lied about his own Muthas death and insurance claims, remember?
Why would he care if this water carrier made up a tall tale. The Lyin kING probably wrote the script for him.

Why does no one, not even Fox, refer to Romney as a Corporate Bailout Specialist? That is mostly what Bain does, invests in companies, no not all failing some are startups, and bring them to profitability sell them off to others. This is how most small businesses get their financing for startups since banks are essentially out of this business now. We have a long way to go for a fair press in this country if the best we have is Fox and they get it wrong most of the time. Posted by: Finn McCool at August 08, 2012 06:50 PM (R/8dI) 136

You find a shirt that works, you stick with it. Especially a long sleeve polo with a collar so big and flappy that even fat-Elvis would put it back on the rack.
But notice that big, limp flappy collar again. It has been teased up into the same gravity-defying posture of a normal collar in both ads.

Watching Stephanie Cutter in the CNN clip had me instantly thinking that she is showing "duping delight" over and over again. Watch her face, turn off the sound. She also does a NO head shake, when saying yes with her lips, and does a YES head shake when she is saying no. Spend a little time with this "Lie Spotting" discussion. You'll will be amazed at how simple it becomes to tell from body language and facial actions (many involuntary) when someone is lying (I provide this link for convenience, I have not connection to the speaker or the Ted conference where this discussion occurred.)

I don't believe anything Scoptic says now. I doubt his name, whether he ever worked for that steel plant, whether he was ever married. If he said it was sunny out I'd take an umbrella and a coat.

cheap ass lying mother fuckers couldn't even get him a change of shirt, but had no problem filming him in two separate union hall offices?
Can we get a conservative with balls to go after them on the media circuit? btw I Heard from a very reliable source at Reverend Wrights church that Obama is a cokefiend homosexual who likes to take it in the butt.

Of course he has only one shirt H8ers, he's still grief stricken over the loss of his cushy-ass union job. He hasn't left the house to buy clothes in 5 years. His wife used to occasionally leave the kitchen to shop for him but since you H8ers killed her, he's left with the one shirt.

Ugh. I'll admit it. I fell for it. A sexy picture of Gerard Butler at the end of a long, hard day is just what the Dr. ordered. But what did get? Abused and used thats what! Moronettes revolt!!!

Obama apologized to India because some American Sikhs got shot? How doe that work?

In re the "Gerard Butler" pic. Some day, some day Ace, we will meet. I take some comfort in my plans for revenge.

The real question here is why did TheeRomney agree to try to save this dirt bag company in the first place?
With d____ nozzles like this clown working there, is it any wonder they went broke? Posted by: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh at August 08, 2012 09:33 PM (p4U6S) 258
Here's what I told Hot Air:
As a commercial production person and we’re pretty good at making one location look like 3 or 4, I’m iffy and can make a case for No, but the Hubster/Cameraman Editor says it’s a strong Yes. I’m picking up the oddity that the lavalier is clearly visible in the top video – Professional audio guys are obsessive that the viewer never sees their mics. It vanishes in the bottom piece which means that either that audio guy knows how to hide his mics or used a shotgun. However, I lose my argument when you look at the very similar audio levels and mixing – audio guys have very distinctive styles and both spots match. Hubster is feels that both ads have the same lighting guy on the internals. All of the light angles match on both spots. (Don’t be thrown by the obvious differences in lighting temperatures – those can be done in the camera or in post.) What is consistent in both spots are the “around town” scenes, in particular the cloud patterns, the camera angles and the style techniques that are used. The edit style is also nearly identical between the two spots. What is obvious is that even with a Union crew doing the work is that all in all both spots were “cheap” and lack the polish and attention to detail you would see with higher end studios. The 2nd spot has had a little bit more work done to make it appear colder and more desolate and darken the clouds… but it’s still a super simple filter app. So, your best analysis is that it was likely done at the same time. 2nd best is that footage was shared and 3rd the same crew was hired by the 2 different groups. Add to that the timing with the phone conference and you’ve got a pretty good case for it being a group effort. Posted by: 2nd Amendment Mother at August 08, 2012 09:33 PM (L4CWX) 259
He may just be wearing the same shirt on two separate occasions but it is obvious that whoever picked the decor of one location decorated the other. Same paint and trim, similar plant arrangements (too perfect, probably fake) you could easy conclude same building if not same room.

Hell, that is the same wood paneling that is in the lodge I'm staying in in Denali right now that was constructed in the 70's. Find out when that union hall was built. If in the 70's his "Home" may be the union hall. If past 1990 then I have high doubt it is the union hall.

Soptic has one hell of a barber who is able to duplicate haircuts with ease, as Soptic's hair is exactly the same in both ads.
Posted by: OxyCon at August 09, 2012 03:19 AM (TWn4N) 262
Soptic's wearing the same shirt because Romney stole all this guy's clothes along with his job wife.

I was going to post about the obvious video production similarities, but 2nd Amendment Mother beat me to it.
As a video production professional, I concur. The lighting in the interview sections is a dead giveaway. Posted by: Boone85 at August 09, 2012 09:32 AM (0+N0y) 264
The second video is in some kind of office with public access ... there is a "no guns" sticker in the window next to the door.

This was the second part of our analysis at Hot Air - good catch on the hair, I always notice that more in women than men:
My daughter/storyboard editor and sometimes director pointed out something important on wardrobe. Wardrobe is key in carrying off a spot and conveying your message – putting this guy in a red flannel shirt would have given a different feel and texture. If we provide the wardrobe, we have a selection of shirts in different colors and sizes on hand. We usually screen test several shirts to get the right look before we start shooting. We rarely ever allow actors, much less non-actors, to choose their own wardrobe from their own closet. The average moron will show up at a video shoot in their very best dress suit and tie. The odds are low that he chose his own shirt to match the very cold, despairing mood. And even lower that a second production team would make the same wardrobe choice. Her second point is that the spots are virtually identical style-wise. Agencies, directors and producers are very territorial about their work and that it reflects their style. Production companies are even more competitive. The second team would have gone out of it’s way to “one up” the work of the first company. The key to survival in the industry is proving you’re better than the last guy they hired. Even in our little shop, it’s very clear in the finished product whether she or I had creative control.It seems like it should be fairly easy to locate the name of the agency or production company in Priorities expense filings then cross reference against OFA. You're probably looking for a $10K item - everyone I know insists on being paid on delivery for political work. Posted by: 2nd Amendment Mother at August 09, 2012 10:43 AM (L4CWX) 266
Ace, on behalf of the moronettes, you are gonna get lynched. I'll bring popcorn.

Most likely shot at the USW Steelworkers hall in Independence, MO. Same doorway opening, same sticker on the door.
Go to Google Maps and you will find out. Brick doorway is the same. Posted by: ShawnP at August 09, 2012 01:40 PM (g1FfF) 269
