Dean Bernard Wrote:Chris, correct me if I have misinterpreted this, but, to clarify your point, as I see it, you are using a lot of math to provide a basis for evidence that the Zapruder film was filmed at 48 frames per second, and not 24. And, that the camera original was edited to remove the limo stop, etc.. by removing frames to give the resulting film the appearance that it was shot at 24 frames per second. I think your math does a good job of supporting this scenario. I could be wrong, but, I thought I read somewhere that Zapruder himself thought the camera was set on 48FPS. This would be logical as the higher frame rate does provide a smoother resolution on playback. I would think he would have wanted the best picture he could get of the President passing in front of him.
Hi Dean,
I'm curious about this aspect of your observation.
When did it occur to you that I was describing a film shot at 48 frames per sec? I was not.
I never made reference to that speed. Only to 18.3fps.
The 48 frames came about from the Paul Mandel Life Magazine article which stated there was 48 frames between a Connally and 313 headshot.
There is a math equation with all elements I provided, that has the limo traveling at 3.74mph for the majority of those 48 frames @18.3frames per sec.
So, it appears the method I used to present the information didn't sit well with the vast majority and I'll think about re-presenting it at a later time.
