Anybody with a brain knows that when you move from being mostly in front of an object to being mostly to the side of that object, the view of the object changes. If you move positions enough to make the relative position of the plaque to the casket and window change drastically, it’s going to impact the view of the stand also - because you’re basically taking a side-view shot of the stand instead of a frontal view. If the view of the stand doesn’t change when you do that, something is very wrong.
I loved geometry because geometric proofs required a person to think through the implications of data and to make conclusions justified by laws. In order to have the mullion of the window disappear behind the plaque, the vantage point has to be substantially to the left of the mullion - so far to the left that when you draw a ray between the vantage point and the mullion the plaque is in the way.
If you draw a ray from that vantage point to the stand it’s going to give a different side/perspective of the stand than if you draw a ray from a vantage point looking straight at the mullion. Photos of the stand taken from substantially-different vantage points should not be able to be laid on top of each other and match.
Let me know when you have something real.
Here is the "genuine" image that gives you some ideas of the distances. Note the location of the easel for the Legislators' memoriam and the flowers.
Also see the location of her hands compared to the top of the casket (well below the top of the lid). Why would they Photoshop the entire image when they only need to Photoshop the casket opening?
As the family gathered around the casket, you can still see her hands and notice the plague with the lei has been moved. And the distance between the two cameras.
you can also see her hands in the earlier footage.
