How much could you alter the film if Abraham Zapruder had shot in slow motion mode?

[David Josephs]

That's fascinating. Costella found something odd with the sign when he did his pincushion correction, and in that version - to me - the sign jumps around. Also for some reason it seems like the "blob" after the head shot looks more like a massive wound - again to me - it looks like the entire front right side of his head is gone. Anyone else see that? Does it look dramatically different to anyone else or are these old eyes f'ing with me?

Not your eyes Michael - just the altered Zfilm and xrays. From this xray it appears impossible that a trail of fragments could originate at the back and move forward since there is no entrance point in the back where the trail ends/begins.

Dr. Mantik proves over and over these xrays are altered copies (most likely done by Ebersole)






This next composite shows where that trail of particles actually was and what those who were closest to JFK remember about his wounds.

The perfectly round black mark on the image at the bottom right is not naturally occurring and appears to cover the spot where a bullet would have entered.





Now to the after effects of alteration/paint-over. At the top left of the collage we see the spot in Z314 where that deep black area is opposite the sun - yet Jackie's face is also in that same shadow as are parts of everyone in the limo - yet no one retains a deep black mark which appears to over extend itself beyond the borders of JFK's head.

No other black in that image can be crushed out to do the same. Jackie's hair does not crush, the coats of JC, Greer and Kellerman do not over extend their bounds

There is simply no explanation for the straightness of the "shadow" across the top of JFK's head. This is z323 where to those who have seen the stereoscopic images claim that black thing just hovers over the images, not looking like part of the film... Hopefully the Hollywood 7 will someday share the best frames at the highest resolution to illustrate this alteration accomplish via plate-painting or directly onto the film. Given the "hovering" comments associated with this frame a painted plated cover-up and refilm was required.
