Zapruder film alteration scenarios seem to have originated with a need to account for a) a slow down and/or complete halt of the limousine, described by many witnesses, but which is not readily apparent in the existing Z-film b) inconsistencies within the frames, including what appear to be body movements which are too quick.
...
7) I am not aware of any shot or sequence done anywhere at anytime, utilizing an optical printer, which approaches the technical accomplishment claimed for Z-film alteration scenarios beyond frame excision.
Oh-My goodness, declarative sentences already and we've just been introduced... lmfao -- Only two are worth commenting on:
re your 1st comment above: you've skipped over the one solid reason-necessity ("scenario" as many of my lone nut friends like to call it) re possible Zapruder film alteration . That being "OFFICIAL Conspiracy Deniability." read: ONE SHOOTER ONLY. Perhaps you can determine the 1963-4 consequences that of a conspiracy murdered the President of the United States, yes?
The ONE SHOOTER ONLY, which of course necessitated Washington's creation AND formation of the Warren Commission.

re the 2nd of two above: ahhhh, so, your not quite the student of optical film printing as you think you are, eh...
Perhaps you should be digging around SMPE/SMPTE archives and find out the REAL history of optical film printing. Right to the source, why fart around with rumor, opinion and innuendo, Guy?SMPE (Society of Motion Picture Engineering) - SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineering) has some pretty interesting, pre World War II optical film printing "scenarios" in their technical reports. The Society is still around today, in fact Roland Zavada is/was a member, even little old I attended my share of yearly SMPTE meetings.
You are going to have to do better than: if you (or those you know) can't do it on an Oxberry, it CAN'T be done "nonsense"... "technical accomplishment" you say? Dude the optical film printer was awarded an ACADEMY AWARD for Technical Achievement, who do you think operated those beasts? Here's one oldtime operating scenario: contracted Hollyweird Studios for the USArmy Signal Corps (WWII era before they were called Oxberry's)
It's painfully obvious to me you've never been to Hollyweird, nor to a Hollyweird based optical film house. From the sounds of your boastings I bet David Lifton knows more about Oxberry filmprinters than you do. And he, surprise-surprise, he actually knows the systems operation...
You aren't the new and improved version of Craig *Lampoon* Lamson, are ya there, Jeffrey?
