"Death in Dealy Plaza" Gifs and frames

This reminds me one of the arguments I had with Michael Griffith who claimed that the Zapruder film was fake because the crowd on this side of the street were "cardboard cut-outs".

The crowd here can be seen moving all about and straining to get a better look.



And here are the three ladies, with the middle lady clearly clapping and the last lady with the blue head scarf billowing in the wind!

The woman in the white scarf turns her head to the right.

   JOHN - Thanks for posting that Z Clip. What I take from it is that The woman turning her head toward the Triple Underpass and everyone else on that (N) side of Elm St, KNOWS the JFK Limo is NOT coming toward/turning onto Elm St. Zapruder from his elevated viewing position must have been the Only person on that (N) side of the street to believe that the JFK Limo was looming right around the corner. Sitzman said they could see the JFK Limo turning onto Houston, and coming down Houston St. Dan Rather reported that the Zapruder Film Copy that he watched the weekend of the assassination showed the JFK Limo turning onto Elm St. Yet, we are told to believe that somehow Abraham "Mr Magoo" Zapruder thought the JFK Limo was right behind those 3 DPD Motorcycles?

There's two reason we know Zapruder restarted his 8mm camera @Z133 and therefore the entire sequence was not filmed continuously!

1. The first frame when an 8mm camera is started allows more light to leak into the camera and as can be seen, Z133 is brighter than Z134. Also note that Z001 is even brighter but this effect varies iirc due to mechanical interactions of the camera and the amount of film left.
Look at the light blue car at the top of the frame, the lighter clothing and the lighter shade of the road.



2. When Zapruder restarted his camera and pushed the physical button, this made the next frame much blurrier and the frame after that shows a distinctive horizontal jiggle.



After Zapruder restarted his camera and the initial excitement, his panning becomes relatively smooth, well, up until his startled vertical jiggles after he heard shots.
