Not sure about the question. Who or what are you referring to in the context of 24fps? Myers with Towner? WC with the extant zfilm? Residual 24fps is just a variation of a 48fps slow-motion origin, cut in half. Myers uses 22.8fps as it accommodates his 1.8 sec jump to z133 and then a 5.49ft per sec slow down syncing with a 18.3fps final rate. After all is said and done, the overlapping part of the zfilm with Towner will never see the light of day, therefore, the frame rate of Towner becomes inconsequential to the powers that be. Myers just does us a big favor by providing enough data to reveal the farce. Keeping in mind the splitting of the limo path which we discussed previously.

Use the LOS from the Z pedestal to the background lamp-post (frame z166) along Robert West's path. 35.90ft / 1.803 sec (33frames@18.3fps) = 13.54mph If you want to see how the difference in distances would basically align, just subtract 5.49ft from the above distance of 35.9ft = 30.41ft. Then take a look at the distance Myers has it traveling from Towner end to Z150 = 24.96ft and add that 5.49ft back = 30.45ft Close enough!!!

Mark Knight Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Chris, when you get through with all the computations, I think it would be wise to start a chronology of the Z-film, noting WHERE in the film the frames were deleted and how many at each deletion, as well as you can possibly ascertain. Then tie these frame deletions to the corresponding flim-flammery of the data blocks as surveyed vs. data blocks as entered in the WC report. I think a well-written version of what you believed happened, and where/when/why, would make a good narrative to explain how Spector & Co. got from 3 shots/3 hits to the magic bullet/SBT, and would explain why the problems exist in, for example, explaining Clint Hill's superhuman speed if the motorcade didn't slow to nearly a stop. You have outlined things well. Perhaps My Josephs might collaborate with you and write the narrative, because your work seems to come off at this point as staccato bursts, rather than as a flowing tale of deceit that this truly is. IMHO, the information you have uncovered here neither convicts nor exonerates LHO... but it certainly convicts Shaneyfelt and Spector of evidence tampering, IMHO.

Then tie these frame deletions to the corresponding flim-flammery of the data blocks as surveyed vs. data blocks as entered in the WC report. Mark, a film shot at 48fps slo-mo with sequential removal of 1/2 the frames and then a sequential removal of 1/4 of those remaining frames yields this result: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrExtVD005OeFhFSHkxOTU5dG8/view?usp=sharing Did they extract all the frames exactly sequentially? Who knows! We don't have the true original. The final (whole frame) ratio of 18/48 = .375 = the combination of sequential removal of 1/2 the frames and then a sequential removal of 1/4. I would suggest viewing my version which is representative of the above frame removal sequence, then viewing MPI's version for comparison purposes. I think a well-written version of what you believed happened, and where/when/why, would make a good narrative to explain how Spector & Co. got from 3 shots/3 hits to the magic bullet/SBT, and would explain why the problems exist in, for example, explaining Clint Hill's superhuman speed if the motorcade didn't slow to nearly a stop. A version of what I believed happened is speculation. For every frame seen in the extant film, a 48fps version would yield 1.622 extra frames per existing frame. Remove those 1.622 per every frame and I'm sure you could hide what was necessary. Something superhuman on film would equate to excess frame removal (even moreso than 1.622) unless something along the lines of David Healy's (optical printer primer) input was used also. You have outlined things well. Perhaps My Josephs might collaborate with you and write the narrative, because your work seems to come off at this point as staccato bursts, rather than as a flowing tale of deceit that this truly is. Maybe. I'm sure David J. would like to exhaust most, if not all other alternatives before a narrative is written. Imo Staccato bursts? Fair enough. Easier for me to implement TMI initially, and then reconstruct in a somewhat more chronological manner. Unfortunately, this is the way I have discovered it. IMHO, the information you have uncovered here neither convicts nor exonerates LHO... but it certainly convicts Shaneyfelt and Spector of evidence tampering, IMHO. Agreed. Never was my intention to either convict or exonerate LHO. If you believe it indeed convicts Shaneyfelt, Spector and the like, thank you for the support. My analogy being: If the Police, DA, and Judge among others are caught tampering with evidence, sometimes the convicted (regardless of guilt or innocence) are set free. Added on edit: If you watch the version I created, notice the frame number count and the ghost numbers within, which are just an indicator of the extra 1.622 frames that were there originally.

David Josephs Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Staccato burst - I like that... As Chris eludes, any narrative would involve so much guesswork.... and be hard struck to account for Position A, # of frames between 132 & 133, the actual starting and stopping number of frames, etc. What we are doing here in reality is unraveling what Shaneyfelt, Gauthier, Frazier, and a few others were doing in Apr/May 1964 when the conclusive plats were changed. We also have to accept wherever Shaneyfelt placed Surveyor WEST and then equated that spot to a frame #... even in the early surveys. CE884 is the result of that effort and literally JUMPS out at us trying to explain what the FBI boys did. We have CREATED legends, CREATED surveys, WCD298, CE585, CE875 and the entire CE885-CE902 run which uses the stand-in for measurements. And none of them work in concert with the others... except for the shot down by 5+00 which was simply removed to create the 2 shot results. Is it a coincidence that 1.8 seconds of Towner is missing and the limo stop was judged to be just under 2 seconds. --- that the wide Elm turn and Position A match exactly yet is specifically called out as NOT being seen in the extant film - was it ever there? --- when the 16 to 48 fps switch(es) occur.... All that needed 48fps was what we see as Z150-Z400. That's 250 frames / .25 / .50 = 667 starting frames 50% of 667 = 333 25% of 333 = 83 . 333 - 83 = 250 / 667 = .625 = 5/8. Therefore, 250 18fps frames started out as 667 48fps frames. The extra .3 foot per frame gives them a fudge factor as well as allows for easier measurement on the Elm incline. These .3 fps over 486 frames also allows for .443 seconds of removed film - and at 48fps that equates to 21-22 frames. By removing those extra 22 frames, the speed of the film increases from 18 to 18.3 fps for no other reason that the math works with the Elm incline. 486 frames needed to go thru the projector in the same time 508 at 18fps did. Related to Towner and her splice... her camera did not run at 24fps but at 16 and 48 like all the other cheap cameras of the day. Playing the Towner frames at 22-24fps looks ridiculous. (what speed did you do your FLV files of the Towner turn?) Here's another reason for the change in lane stripes from plat drawing to drawing... the limo at zframe 166 becomes altered CE884's first 171 by artificially moving the limo south from the red to the green line. Then, on the green line, the limo is in line with red-z 161 at the new green-z 171. The Green path extends down to 313 where it meets up again with its red original... all paths converge at 313... problem being 313 was the 2nd, not 3rd shot in all the other surveys. So the film contradicts CE884 which in turn was altered from a different legend original which was created to explain the images seen in the film. CE884 does not even consider WCD298's conclusions and conflicts with them greatly - both versions. So finally, we are left with a simple question: Do things occur in the film which appear impossible? Body movements that are too fast? Stop/Start which does not look as it should? Choppiness that appears to slow down and speed up Both fore- and back- grounds in focus while panning Since we also see these items, it becomes more and more obvious the film MUST have been altered - otherwise it would have been used without recreations from day one. Mark - let's start with a few questions for you... do you see that frames are missing ? from between or within 157-158 302-303 Chaney not seen and before this there's 316-317 Greer Turn, the shot at 5+00, the terrible difference between the final Altgens image and all the others So in the end, the MATH follows the hypothesis that IF the film was altered... a methodology would have been employed... Chris' thoughts on this methodology are spot on and take a difficult process and makes it very simple... DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes; we have established that the Zapruder motion picture camera operates at an average speed of 18.3 frames per second. And we have been advised that the minimum time for firing the rifle in successive shots is approximately two and a quarter seconds. So this gives us then a figure of two and a quarter seconds of frames; at 18.3, this gives us this figure of 41 to 42 frames. Representative FORD. Would you repeat that again, please? Mr. SHANEYFELT. The camera operates at a speed of 18.3 frames per second. So that in two and a quarter seconds it would run through about 42--41 to 42 frames. Representative FORD. Then the firing of the rifle, repeat that again? Mr. SHANEYFELT. As to the firing of the rifle we have been advised that the minimum time for getting off two successive well-aimed shots on the rifle is approximately two and a quarter seconds. That is the basis for using this 41 to 42 frames to establish two points in the film where two successive quick shots could have been fired.
