The still shot at the beginning left side showing is strange, agreed. Not good. In addition, the strain is appearing at the front throat tendon when speaking. As it is unattractive, and Mr. Newsom is skilled in theatre, very possibly necessary.
In addition, the dark blue curtain appears to be a greenscreen when he is speaking alone and sitting down.
Worth extra examination.
Is there a link to his recent appearance/event?
Thanks.
