That question was preceded by a series of questions about Oswald in a work-related context at the TSBD including when Lovelady saw him there on the day of the assassination.  As a result, he did not take the question literally but within the context that he was being asked [...]

Yes, that is indeed a possibility  Thumb1:

We can't tell that from viewing that Gif.

Friends, it has never been satisfactorily explained why Mr Lovelady's right side is dark in the Wiegman frames:





Basic geometry rules out a shadow cast by the west pillar at the front of the entranceway!

Note how the darkness 'follows' Mr Lovelady's right side as he goes from a higher to a lower step.

What on earth are we seeing here??

Well guess what Einstein, the ratio is way off. Standardised NTSC output image is 4:3. Whoever captured the video deliberately squashed the footage to make Lovelady appear thicker. Naughty naughty!





Here's a comparison that is centered directly on Lovelady.

Thanks, John.

Nope, still doesn't look like him...

LOL

You do realize, don't you, that in this frame his jaw is jutted out because he's in the process of exhaling cigarette smoke?

Now!

Many people-------------even those with no time for the Oswald-Is-DoorwayMan-In-Altgens idea---------------have commented over the years on how different Mr Lovelady appears between here...



...and here...



They've heard all the arguments about aspect ratio and light conditions, but they still feel something is off. They wonder---------despite themselves!---------Can this really be the same man?

Question #7!

What if they're right to wonder?

What if the reason this man-------



-------looks huskier and, well, different to the Mr Lovelady seen in other images is that he isn't actually Mr Lovelady?

That footage supposedly came from the Martin film, but it wasn't presented until 1966. The FBI received it from Time-Life then. It is better quality than the original Martin film. This man is referred to as "Gorilla Man" and you are right as it looks very different from Lovelady in a number of aspects.

Thank you for this information, Mr Caprio!  Thumb1:
