Early work with Zapruder frames showing stockade fence and ???  (Read 23473 times)

Here is something I just finished working on for about an hour or so. This work and animation is in it's early stages. Using Zapruder frames 473-478, I first did a rough enhancement for gamma and some slight tweaks in contrast on a few of the 6 frames. Then...I painstakingly try to "cut" from precisely the same location in each of the 6 frames. Some of the frames are slightly blurred, which will make this animated gif seem a little choppy while playing. The cutout from frame 478 was reinserted four more times at the end of the animation to help show where the animation ends. I have also attached Zapruder frame 478 with two yellow boxes I added in. They are two areas of important interest, because they seem to show movement within this animation. The yellow box to the left... to my eyes at least... appears to be the head/face of a man from approx. the top of his shoulders up. He appears to first turn slightly towards his right beginning with frame 473, then back to the left ending with his head in profile facing towards Elm Street in frame 478.
The second yellow box to the right...to me at least...appears to possibly be a grayish colored hat (?) and seems to move in a northwest to southeast direction. If anyone is seeing what my eyes are seeing, please post your observations and comments. I intend to spend much more time on this in the coming days. I hope to add in more frames IF possible, and try to stabilize the choppiness as much as possible. Maybe even speed up the animation if I have luck in its appearance hat;; Again...comments are welcomed and appreciated.

I decided to speed up the animation. Here it is quite a bit faster.

Yes Robin, I agree. More predominately in the yellow box to the right. But at least you're seeing it too in both of the yellow boxes  :) Thank you!

Rick, your Gif animation (particular the fast one) made my eyes wide open as i recognized the movement.
I'am not sure about the left yellow rectangle but the right rectangle and this human activity left no room for doubts.
His head and upper torso is moving up and down.
The same activity you are showing us in the nix gif animation. At the same position.
The same position of Hatman in Moorman.

3 different visual indicators now in differnet images and films. I know from my 3d work the trajectory from this position goes hand in hand with JFK's violently headmovement to 100%.

Rick, i tell you in advance...this will cause big waves.

Fantastic work!!!!

Martin, Ian, John, David, and Robin....thank you ALL gentlemen for taking the time to reply and convincing me that I am not insane!! Yes! We have the Mary Moorman photograph with Hatman and Badgeman. The Nix film shows an individual moving behind the stockade fence atop the grassy knoll. And now..at the tail end of the Zapruder film (thanks to enhancement to bring out hidden detail in an area that is quite dark and shadowed from the trees) we see the moving of possibly two individuals. I hope that added together this does cause some big waves, because I know there's people behind the fence there  :)
