Robin Unger Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) This is footage of President John F. Kennedy's motorcade in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, followed by footage shot in Dealey Plaza the next day, November 23. The motorcade footage was shot from the NW corner of Market St. and Main, the last intersection before Houston St., which is where the motorcade would have made a right turn into Dealey Plaza--therefore this footage was probably taken less than a minute before the shots were fired that killed President Kennedy, and wounded Texas Governor John Connally. The original footage is 8mm motion picture film, that has been blown up to a new 16mm preservation negative via a wet-gate transfer; the digital video here was taken from a high-resolution scan made from a 16mm print, that was struck from the new preservation negative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWAAqnv7XAQ Edited September 29, 2018 by Robin Unger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part of the film must have been taken the next day. I wonder how he got up there. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Prutsok Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 At 1:01, there's a shot of the front steps of the TSBD, I believe, on Saturday I assume. Funny though that the shadows in the corners don't look nearly as dark as they do in extant films from Friday. Weather conditions seemed to be similar.

Andrew, I thought this was an interesting photo. It looks a little on the coolish side with grey skies. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
