Darnell film-Compilation

[Thomas Graves]

Thomas, thanks!

No, it not possible that a much longer lens further away could give a comparable scaled view of the girls in Darnell. To demonstrate I simulated the Darnell line-of-site to the three women, and extended that line-of-site to beyond the Elm sidewalk to over 150 feet from the women. The simulation shows the frames holding nearly the same section of the pergolla to frame width while moving the camera towards the women on the line-of-site and adjusting to the necessary focal length along the way. A companion overhead view is included. Please observe the relative sizes of the model's heads to the pergolla cutouts as the camera nears the subjects. The numeric annotations show FOV (field of view), f (lens focal length, mm), and D (distance of camera to subject women in feet).  I estimate Darnell was about 11 feet from the women.

Yeah, I was thinking ten, myself.

A friend of mine is in Dallas this week or next week and will be able to view the version that the 6FM has. I asked him to create a timeline of the events on the film (parking lot, doorway, the 3 girls, etc. From what I'm told, they have much more than what we have.

[Denis Morissette]

My friend is already back from Dallas. He’ll give me the timeline in a few days.

[Denis Morissette]

Let me send him a message right now.

[Denis Morissette]

Still waiting for his reply. Should not be much longer.

[Denis Morissette]

My friend has not written something yet on the Darnell film that he saw. No ETA.

Denis.

I noticed in your Darnell Youtube clip, that it appears to show TWO of the motorcade buses one behind the other on Houston st.
that might help to nail down the Timeline of that section of film.
