Proof of Concept- Z Film Alteration

[David Josephs]

Step one:

I shot this footage back in 2005 from the pedestal with a B/H 414 on full zoom.

Stabilized it.

Important Aspects: 1. The ghost image over the lower sprocket hole
2. Panning Speed

Observe the relationship of the building edge at the top of the main frame leading into the upper sprocket hole tothe building edge from the ghost image (over the lower sprocket hole).The building edge at the top of the main frame leading into the upper sprocket hole trails the building edge from the ghost image (over the lower sprocket hole) by 1 frame.

This is the only concept you need to understand.

Always enjoy how cryptic you remain Chris... You say things without actually saying them...

Yes, the ghost image is actually the extended TOP of the previous frame..
Which is why the film MUST have been refilmed onto the extant film at some point, otherwise these images would not match...

The instantaneous cut from one frame to the next, when Z supposedly stopped filming, would be exposed if it had not been refilmed.

If this had been a straight stop and start. From z132 (last frame before limo-blurry) the ghost image on 133 SHOULD be identical to the image under the top sprocket hole in 132 since it was already exposed as a ghost when 132 was filmed. The spill-over at the top left of 133 under the sprocket, if from a previous frame, should NOT show vehicles making the turn.

This spliced transition, along with the corroborating testimony proves that Zapruder did not stop filming once the motorcade arrived and DID film the wide turn as discussed by Truly.
I believe the 48fps filming started with this transition and is why this portion of the film was not "refilmed" to correct the ghost image problem)
