There's the Hester's in Wiegman's film. (8 frame animation)

Wiegman's in the Bell movie filming that. (Span of 8 frames)

If you think the sync is off, watch Mr.Hester extend his hand from Mrs.Hester in both animations.

Notice Wiegman's movement in the Bell movie, in the span of those 8 frames, as he films the Hester's, and the quality of the clip that's produced.

I'll leave it at that for now.

What observation is Chris making, Jack? The two films are not showing the same moments in time. You certainly aren't going to start saying that someone altered the timing of Charles Hester running his hand across his wifes backside - are you?

Chris....I looked at the animation several times before noticing
that BEATRICE IS FACING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AT THE
SAME TIME in the two clips.

Please do a SLOWER animation cropping in tighter on just the
Hesters as he strokes her butt. In Wiegman her head is to the
south; in Bell it seems to be to the north. Am I wrong?

The animation flashes a little too fast to be sure.

Jack, Beatrice has her head down and the white area near her rump is Charles Hester's light colored arm and shirt sleeve as it stroked over her hip.

Here it is a little bigger and slower.

This is 11 frames.

Notice the gentleman in the lower right corner walking. Appears to walk naturally.

Wiegman is doing belly heaves. Too much movement for a steady film.

I've looked at the Wiegman many times, there is only one time he pushes off Mrs Hester and extends his arm, and that point is shown in the

animation.

Before we get to my animation point in the film, Mrs.Hester is sitting upright.

With Mrs Hester not appearing upright in the Bell movie, my time sync is correct. (Thanks Jack)

Or please provide Wiegman footage to the contrary.

One other point to keep in mind:

Wiegman is still continuous filming even after the animation period I have shown.

He films Mr. Hester running to the colonade.


thanks

I did not know Wiegman ran up the hill...I thought all his filming was from the street or sidewalk.

Thanks, Chris.

Hi Chris..I think it's the black man carrying the baby. What you see as a white shirt is the baby.

Hi Duncan,

I should have posted Wiegman stabilized first and then commented.

In this 11 frame animation, Wiegman is stabilized.

In the first few frames, the camera is up to his face, then he drops it down to his
chest, just as he states in the mp3 file I supplied. (Previous post).

All this time he is filming the Hester's.

Why no camera movement in the Hester footage, if someone moves the camera
from face level down to chest level, as they are continuously filming?

Also, watch Tom Craven in the lower right part of the animation.

He is filming towards the Hester's, and then in 4 frames, he turns his head and is walking forward. That's impossible. Yes 4 frames

Bell, who's film we are watching has a Kodak 8mm movie, don't know the FPS on it, a guess would be about 16 FPS.

Which means Craven does his movement in about one quarter of a second.

Where is Tom Craven's film?

Craven is also shown in pictures filming the Newman's, just like Wiegman.

I will post a comparison from Wiegman's film and a Cancellare photo later.

In Couch's movie, Wiegman is seen running down the knoll, but in the area where
the Hester's appear, someone rises at that point. (Timing)

Have to look at Couch a little closer though, to make sure it's not the Chism's.

Duncan & Chris,

You've both made some mistakes here.

First, Duncan, you identified the figure behind the Stemmons sign in the Bell film as a black man carrying a baby. By that you mean John Chism carrying three year old son Ricky. It wasn't John and Ricky, however, but rather NBC's Dave Wiegman still filming the Hesters. John, Ricky and Faye Chism were standing in the grass just below shelter #4 with Ricky in Faye's arms.

Second, Chris, you identified a man in "the lower right part of the animation" of the Bell film as CBS cameraman Tom Craven. Actually, it's most likely White House cameraman Tom Atkins who left camera car #1 at about the same time as Wiegman. Craven remained in their car until sometime after the President's limo went through the triple underpass. You can see Craven's late arrival on the knoll clearly in several photos and in the Martin film. You can also spot him arriving late at the beginning of the Couch film, if you look closely, along with Atkins who continues to move toward the Newmans as Wiegman sprints down the knoll after filming the Hesters. This also means that Craven did not film the Hesters at this point in time.

Ken,

thanks for clearing that up.

I was also wrong about Atkins movement in a quarter second.

It's Bell's panning that gives the impression of Atkins moving so quickly.

I did find both Craven and Atkins footage of the Newman's.

Do you know if there is more to either of their films than this?

I still believe the animations of Wiegman/Hester are the same point in time.

thanks

I'm not sure I agree with you Ken.
Update....Take a look at the Martin film from 17 seconds onwards. From what I can see, the Chisms take the same route from the hill slope down the hill as Wiegman did, and the images, although extremely poor, resemble Mr Chism in Bell very closely imo. Also take a look at the tail end of the Couch film and you will see the Chism's following an almost identical path as Wiegman at the bottom of the hill

Further update..I think Ken is correct. The Chism's can be seen clearly in a later sequence in this slightly longer version of the Weigman film.
