PHOTO: DEMS TO USE TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY TO FILL CONVENTION HALL?

Call it "The Empty Chair Convention." Rick Klein, Senior Washington Editor of ABC News, just tweeted out this photo of the stage the Democrat convention will be held on (posted above).

As you can see, Klein's photo reveals the screens that will serve as the television backdrop behind whoever's speaking -- and it looks to me as though the Democrats intend to show an artificial sea of faces in order to make the convention hall look a whole lot more fuller than it might be.

If you look closely, they have three tiers of adoring, enraptured Obama-worshippers at the ready should they need them.

There's a lot of talk and concern amongst Democrats and their Media Palace Guards that for his big acceptance speech Thursday night, President Obama might not be able to fill the Bank of America stadium. There are also reports that Democrat operatives have been reduced to handing out free tickets to the event at bars and elsewhere -- probably in a frantic last minute attempt to fill seats.

It’s empty chair day at the convention!

[barmag25]

They are Pre-filming the crowd by sections. Wonder why?

[Steely Tom]

Should’ve known. They’re going to use CGI to “fill” Bank of America stadium for Obama’s nomination acceptance speech.

[TribalPrincess2U]

ID required for all except the blow-ups.

[cruise_missile]

Republicans should have a free concert with Lynard Skynard with free beer two blocks away from the fascist rally.

[UCANSEE2]

Heck. That's nothing. Only shows the stage. Now here...

"Long before Clint Eastwood forever branded Obama a "empty chair," the President has been plagued by the disturbing optics of a one-time political rock star no longer able to pack a house."

EMPTY CHAIR IS RELAXING ENJOYING A JOINT BEFORE HIS EMPTY DAY.

[barmag25]

Look at the picture on the screen, then look at the crowd in only one section behind and to the left being filmed. This is going to be the screenshots we get shown on tv. Being pre-filmed so it looks full.

The LEGO POTUS

[bigbob]

Heh heh...they dare not show even ONE empty seat now, lest someone make an (obviously racist) remark about “empty chairs”... ;-)

And hey, “Empty Chair!, Empty Chair!” makes a pretty decent chant too...

[AmericanSamurai]

ROFLOL!! Oh man.

[barmag25]

wtf???

[Mr. Jeeves]

I give you an LOL before that gets deleted!

[Iron Munro]

This is nothing new.

They are called "Virtual Voters".

They will be back on election day with a great number of their friends.

[AmericanSamurai]

No kidding. I don’t want this place to become like Craiglist Rant & Raves. That’s why I don’t go there anymore.

[dfwgator]

That pretty much ruined my day.

[SunkenCiv]

"Call it 'The Empty Chair Convention.'"

Thanks barmag25.

[stylin19a]

great....just great can Laz be far behind ?

THE EMPTY CHAIR CONVENTION

we need to take it viral. Let everyone know this is the sum total of obama. Vacuous.

[miele man]

No doubt the Dims have more than enough sex-toy blow-up dolls to use to fill the seats.

[mikrofon]

Hobbit Convention?

[bigheadfred]

I’m whistling Dixie through the Cheerio’s I just blew up my nose.

[Texas Songwriter]

I don’t think this is allowed.

[kjam22]

You’d think they’d let all the convention goers camp out in tents with the occupy wall street gang in some city park without toilets. That would seem appropriate for their convention.

[concerned about politics]

Geeze. They can't even pay real people to show up. That's pathetic (but great for our side).

Glad breitbart pointed this out before the convention. Hope it goes viral fast.

[Jedidah]

“a whole lot more fuller” ??

[bobo1]

shucks, you beat me to it.

Blessings, bobo

“Lynard Skynard “

A=Y

[UCANSEE2]

Being pre-filmed so it looks full.

OH..... So they 'know' the turnout is going to suck ?

[dfwgator]

Do they really think they’re going to get away with it?

[bigbob]

They’re just not making it worthwhile. Buying votes costs at least cigarettes. To actually go to a convention they’d have to pay those bums serious cash

[UCANSEE2]

Hobbit Convention?

Do Hobbits wear afros ?

[UCANSEE2]

“There are also reports that Democrat operatives have been reduced to handing out free tickets to the event at bars and elsewhere “

ELSEWHERE? Like under the bathroom stalls ?

[Vaduz]

He’s been in frantic last minute attempts for the last four years.

[barmag25]

They don't want it to look like this in prime time. They will fill the rest in by computer if they have something they can fill it in with. http://reddogreport.com/2012/05/obama-kicks-off-2012-campaign-to-roomful-of-empty-seats/

[UCANSEE2]

Do they really think they’re going to get away with it?

THEY WILL ... fool themselves.

[UCANSEE2]

"OK. He said he wants some of the crowd to faint."

"Excellent idea. See... that's producing."

[UCANSEE2]

"Have you ever been coked up at 3am and had a script reading due at 6am ?. This is nothing,,,nothing. We just fill the stadium with mannequins, and the digital crew does the rest."

[UCANSEE2]

"He wants what? A black dog? But we already have a white one."

[SueRae]

“Choom chair”. Love it! :-)

[StAnDeliver]

That's the video bank? Wow. FUGLY.

For the first time since Reagan's re-election the RNC finally got back ahead of the DNC on stage design.

[Secret Agent Man]

If Obama ran North Korea they’d have real people at gunpoint in the seats.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

Perhaps the U-Haul that Biden had stolen, had 50,000 blowup dolls in it.

By sheer coincidence (visiting one of my kids who attends OSU) we were driving west on Lane Ave. (which goes right past this arena) across the river around noontime, were stopped by a traffic cop and diverted north on Olentangy River Road. It seemed funny at the time because there was no indication of what was going on nor any back up of traffic from any direction despite the diversion. The area around the arena was dead quiet with less overall traffic than one would normally see at anytime during daylight hours. I only found out after we got home that Obama had had a rally there to mark the official launch of his campaign. "Empty" is the perfect metaphor for this presidency. They are running on empty, launched their campaign in a two thirds empty arena, with an empty headed VP, and now are irretrievably symbolized by the image of an empty chair.

In the film biz it is called “tiling”.
What you do is lock the camera on a wide shot, then a section of bleachers is filled and filmed. The people are then randomized in another section and the shot is filmed again. This process is repeated until all the sections have been shot. Then the Computer Graphics guys stitch all the shots together to make it look like a packed stadium.

[wintertime]

Hm?....I bet there were a lot of empty **chairs** in that Ohio State stadium!
