empty desks (with a glass of sparkling water on each of them)

important things :
- cameras must be frontal to the desks (not to the side of the desks).
- what’s the dress code ? i don’t know !
- maximum effort should be given for precision. especially at 9h04-9h05-9h06, at the moment when the glasses appear and dissapear should be quite simultaneous (in spite of the inevitable reminiscent old images)
- lux !!! it must be properly litten !!! (to see clearly the glasses”¦)
- the camera from hotel new-york will move once a minute, alternating between views from the outside of a window and views of the inside where the event takes place.
