Hilarious, they painted a shadow onto Lovelady to hide Oswald but "they" missed the growth coming out of the side of Lovelady's head? WOW.
But considering "they" did all this acquiring, developing, transferring, painting, drying, telecining all in a single afternoon,

Where are you getting this "all in a single afternoon" time constraint from, Mr Mytton? Your 1988 NBC broadcast?  :D

Thanks, maybe you can convince Ford because his entire theory revolves around a tiny sliver of shadow whereas as you have said, the exact opposite was true.
Btw the landing was smaller in 1963.

I'm going to post what you originally posted.... blah blah blah.


No worries, I have already stated on numerous occasions that the landing is deeper today and if there is a huge difference where the sun plane hit's the door then prove it, but remember your usual proof of "it just looks right to me" is not very scientific and won't be accepted?
And btw this is the perfect opportunity for you to earn some credibility and prove that your 3D shadow models that we have been using actually match Speer's shadow line, surely a simple comparison isn't beyond your abilities?

   My disagreement with You is,........

If you want to engage me in conversation don't start with a negative followed by another list of stupid advice/observations, because that's when I stop reading.

    We were discussing the TSBD Landing on another thread. It was posted that the landing was 4 feet deep and that the TSBD front door was 4 feet wide. Again, I have Not verified these dimensions. That said, the lack of depth that the landing had in 1963 also Limits the number of people that could stand atop it single file back toward the TSBD. If it is Only 4 feet deep, and you have a door that Opens onto the landing that is 4 feet wide, there can Not be a lot of people situated on that Landing.

 Of course You "stop reading". This is your equivalent of a 5 year old kid putting his fingers in his ears so he will Not hear Daddy correcting him. Consider yourself corrected Jr.

Thanks for the higher res graphic.
1, The shadow is not Jet Black.
2. The shadow line is not a curtain.
3. The shadow naturally follows Lovelady's shirt.
4. The detail and associated highlighting in the entire shadow is consistent with Lovelady's shadow.
5. The level of artistry on display in the photo realistic Lovelady shadow is really a sight to behold and to think they did this not once but a dozen times with jerky, motion blurred, hand held film? Far out man, far out!
