James' reply to my inquiry:

The person who posted the original at left was Alan Ford (NOT ALAN J. FORD) who is also a member of Duncan's forum. My apologies and thanks to AJF, as I hadn't realized in all this time that two members had very similar names.

That's nice to hear. Good luck with the search endeavor. I've emailed James, just waiting for a response.

James H. used VLC (movie player) to view the Darnell film at the 6FM. I am making the assumption that it was actually a film (not photos) that he studied. The neckline description is very puzzling because it agrees with the filter enhanced Alan F. provided/ROKC website (thanks for locating that Denis M)version. I'll ask James if the filter enhanced version is more indicative of what he remembers seeing a few years back. I'm wondering if James is the only researcher who has viewed the Darnell film located at the 6FM???

Long sleeves vs short sleeves. The white object is a sun reflection off the glass door handle. Added on edit. It appears to be the same object in both photos, yet the woman at left still appears to have her right arm in some type of object holding position. imo

James' post:

It's sleep time.

A few more that might work unless either is the same from the original posting.

Maybe someone can check the shadows on the steps?

Andrej, This is what Alan posted. It's from one of his many posts over on Duncan's forum.

Credit to Alan Ford (Duncan's Forum) for posting the "Original" in this collage some months ago. It is a frame from Darnell. The source is unknown. I believe Alan said it was floating around the internet when he obtained it. I was a little reserved at first, but then remembered James' comments about the neckline, from his viewing at the Sixth Floor Museum a few years earlier. I enlarged the original somewhat and applied a couple of different filters to it.

Check off the boxes.

Henry, In my gif, imagine putting yellow numbers on the stooping women's rear end in each frame and labeling them 1-4. Compare the distance she moves between 1/2 then 3/4. Now go back and look how far she travels between 2/3. These are four consecutive frames = 1/4 second Panning does not increase her physical speed. Robin's are a copy from the 6th floor museum. I obtained mine from a different source. They are the same in terms of content, but the 6th floor cropped some of the sprocket hole area. In fact, when you acquire a copy with the full sprocket hole images intact, look closely for the edge markings and how often they repeat.

And, just as it was impossible for Jackie to do her instantaneous slide, it is also a good idea to check other films for impossible feats in the same vicinity. Bell gives us Van Halen's version of "Jump". (Excised frames reference of course.) The limo and the "stooping lady" near the sprocket hole in sync. Helps when you stabilize stationary objects and then view the moving objects.

Richard, I believe that is his arm moving downward, if that is what your referencing.

Chris, In the previous gif, are you saying you see the couple in the red box and not the running man? I don't see her legs touching the ground. I see one person in the red box within the gif. I assume then, you believe the running man is in the blue box(#3) in this new collage? The running man being the person who first appears in Z at Z325. Orientation wise, how does that work?

The Bell/Z films have a common action(measuring point) among them. When both vehicles disappear into the underpass shadow. If one compares/plots moving backwards from that point, Jackie in Bell, is in the same upright position that she is in Nix, but after she has sat down in Z at 417. What happened!!! She got back up on the trunk. No Why? Because extant Z after 417 doesn't show it. Whatever altering was done to the film/s was going to show up in some form, at some point. Timing This is the reason Nix is cut at Z411. It's also why it takes Jackie 1/3 second to miraculously slide down into her seat from Z411-Z417.

The Bronson film reverses(loops back and forth) from its end point so you can see the step pattern of the man in the red box. Since you understand the importance of Jackie's hand in both films, try locating that same man(within the red box) in the Z film. Then pay very close attention to his step pattern and compare them in both films.

I’d like to thank everyone for their kind comments. But, it is/was not my intention to fill the financial overseer void. It was, to expedite the election process once we knew the forum was on more solid financial ground for the immediate future. I think this past week provided plenty of time for those interested to express themselves. We had a long, very spirited discussion about the many different options available for setting up - funding, etc etc. Apparently, Sandy has expressed interest in taking over the position. I think Sandy would do an excellent job and has my full support. If there are others that volunteered, I have complete faith the the Admin team will choose who they believe is the most capable for the forums future well being. Chris

Closing Day. 😎

Motion is much easier to compare. Jackie's hand should help you with the timing. Right Stride, Left Stride, Right Stride Might take some time to load.
