Determining a Timestamp for Darnell

[Duncan MacRae]

Oh. There's Thomas McAtkins and the Newmans.

It's Atkins, not McAtkins. 

Thomas M. Atkins (1934–2011) was a U.S. Navy commander and official White House cinematographer who rode in the press/camera car directly behind President John F. Kennedy's motorcade in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
Immediately following the shots in Dealey Plaza, Atkins jumped out and captured crucial early color film footage of the chaotic scene.

    The suited gents are: (L) Altgens, and (R) Wiegman.

Obviously i do have Youtube, and actually, i've been following his channel, he posts amazing stuff, the problem is, he kinda doesn't list his sources + Youtube uses compressed video format so it's not 100% lossless.

   So because YOU TUBE is "not 100% lossless", you are gonna walk away from JFK Assassination Film Copies posted by "The JFK Theorist"/Alex Harris? You're cheating yourself while waiting on your coveted Golden Goose. Alex posted a snippet of the Darnell Film that is very, very seldom included in Any copy of the Darnell Film. Including a copy of the Darnell Film that was posted by this forum.

Hi Alex, to be honest, I'm coming up with an even quicker time for the beginning of the Darnell footage that begins with this frame:



It's something closer to 19 seconds as I believe Weigman is in position filming the Hesters during this frame.
Whatever the case, a big thanks to yourself for providing some excellent quality footage to work with.

   Look at the background of this Darnell Film opening frame. You can see the Zapruder perch. We do Not see Zapruder and/or Sitzman anywhere. They are not On the Perch, they are Not near the perch, they are Not anywhere on the cement that is around the Perch. They are simply NOT there. And how long did it take Zapruder who was suffering from vertigo to dismount that Pedestal? Certainly more than 15 seconds. Much more. This Darnell opening frame is far later than roughly 15 seconds after the Kill Shot. And much later than the Bell Film which does show Zapruder wandering around the cement area near the Pedestal. The current time stamp of the Darnell Film is Wrong. And so is the :20 second time stamp that has been applied to this same Darnell film showing Officer Baker running across the Island.

The work done synchronising the Bell and Zapruder films demonstrates Zapruder was down from the pedestal and a few steps away from it in less than 12 seconds.
The reason you can't see them near the pedestal in the Darnell frame is because the Thornton sign is in the way.

From the work I've done on this I put Baker reaching the steps of the TSBD about 19 seconds after the headshot.

   That I am aware of, there are No Images of Sitzman wandering away from the Zapruder Perch to the point where our viewing of her "Might" be obscured by the Thornton Sign. The Bell Film shows Sitzman going Straight toward/into the shelter directly behind the Zapruder Perch. She's still very close to the Z pedestal. And Zapruder is in shock and meandering close by her. And we also see Wiegman moving (W) across the top of the Knoll. Just where are ALL of these people on the opening frames of the Darnell Film? And, that opening frame of the Darnell Film shows the driver of Camera Car #2 standing flat footed outside of his car. ALL of this is going on only 19 seconds after the Kill Shot?  Whether it be the "Missing" Zapruder and Sitzman, the "Missing" 3rd man standing at the bottom of The Steps on Willis 5, or the "Missing" Getaway Car on the Wiegman Film. The timeline of this Darnell Film snippet is wrong. And like dominoes, so are the assigned timelines of other images. And why? Because Wiegman filmed the JFK Limo going under the Triple Underpass. Which traces back to an extended "rolling Stop" or a complete "Stop" of the JFK Limo on Elm St.
