Alex, in your opinion, what does the 24-second figure mean relative to Kamp's 10-second claim? And do you have any thoughts on Royell Storing's claims about fake policemen wearing only one glove while infiltrating the aftermath in Dealey Plaza?
I'm not exactly sure what Kamp would gain if it were only 10 seconds, other than a slightly more impressive number, of course, though I guess it helps slightly with his claim that Prayer Man/Woman is Oswald. I originally encountered Kamp's claim somewhere on Facebook, and I replied to him, informing him of my synchronization work and the 24-second figure, and he responded by saying that I am "way off", without ever bothering to actually watch the synchronization I sent him, of course. I could gripe about Kamp for ages, but the core of it is that not only do I disagree with him, he IS factually wrong with numerous things, and frankly, after reading the few portions in his book in which he actually discusses the photographic evidence AT ALL, which you'd think to be essential to the Prayer Man theory, I get the impression that he has not bothered to do any research other than trying to get the best copy, and very obviously knows little to nothing about Darnell, or cameras in general. I have a passion for shooting on film, and have even shot 16mm film on a camera essentially identical to Darnell's, and maybe I'm showing my ego a bit, but I would say I know more than a thing or two about shooting on film, as well as many other things.
As for Royell Storing's claims, that's not really my area of expertise. There are a few things I can try to check, I guess, but I'm not sure if there's enough out there to support or disprove such claims. It's an interesting claim, but I'm not sure exactly how one would go about proving it. I'm working on obtaining a scan of a film right now that may help with and/or some of Royell's other claims, and I'd rather not say much about it right now, but it's looking like it'll be around $1500 for a scan of usable quality. I was lucky enough to get some sort of a job this summer, so I should be able to relatively soon, especially with the help of a certain researcher I am acquainted with who wishes to remain anonymous. I will try to remember to come back on here when I get the film, but if I don't, I'm sure you'll see it around.
p.s. I also put in a request for a research copy of the Darnell film (and LOTS more footage) to the 6FM, but they don't seem to check their emails anymore, so I doubt it'll get anywhere. I also have particularly enticing copies of a few films which I am unable to share here for personal and/or legal reasons, though I hope to be able to share them within a few years. It pains me that I have these things and certain knowledge that I can't share, but I'd rather not get in trouble for messing up a case such as the one I'm currently helping with, which, again, I can't say much about. The research community is on the brink of SEVERAL MAJOR releases of newly found information, photos, videos, etc., I can say that with certainty.
