On a good copy of the Wiegman Film, (good being relative to the early Wiegman Film Copies), you can see the Pedestal, the Top of the Pedestal, and the concrete that we see Zapruder and Sitzman walking atop on Altgens 8. There is No Zapruder & No Sitzman in any of these areas on the Wiegman Film. Same goes for the Empty Shelter behind the pedestal. Zapruder and Sitzman are not on these Wiegman Film frames that show these areas. There's a couple of these frames when Wiegman was still physically on Elm St, and 2-3 good frames when Wiegman had physically moved onto the Knoll. This is before Wiegman filmed the Hesters. One of the guys that was wearing a shirt/jacket with the white trim that encircled the shoulder, is also filmed on the knoll. I believe this is 1 of the 2 guys we see on the Bell Film near/inside the shelter behind the Bench. (Time Stamp). The absence of Zapruder and Sitzman on these Wiegman Frames calls the current timeline assigned to the Wiegman Film into question. The same goes for the Bell Film timeline being Wrong. The Bell Film shows 2 guys wearing shirts with the shoulder trim inside the shelter behind the Bench.
   During the Josiah Thompson interview of Sitzman for "Six Seconds In Dallas", Sitzman said that the 1st thing she did after getting down from the Pedestal was to go down to the bottom of the Knoll to see what was going on. (paraphrasing). She said she talked with who she thought was a SS Agent down there. She then returned to the top of the knoll. Maybe Sitzman being at the bottom, or in the process of reaching the bottom of the Knoll, explains her absence from the Wiegman Film? Zapruder's absence? I don't know.

From even the best copy of Weigman I can find and the best frame I can find, it's impossible to say whether or not Zapruder and Sitzman are on top of the pedestal. Zapruder is a black smudge against a black background and the footage is blurred and grainy.
To assert that all the film/photograph has been altered because you can't make out Zapruder in such poor quality footage is unrealistic.
If I come across better quality footage that shows, without question, that Zapruder is not on the pedestal during the Weigman footage I will concede something is seriously wrong. But I'm not anywhere near that.

Remind me again why you believe all the footage has been altered.

Altgens 8 captures the moment Zapruder and Sitzman have just got off the pedestal and are walking away from it.
The Hesters are seen on the grass.
Why can't Zapruder and Sitzman be seen walking away in Weigman?

Look again at the synchronisation JFK Theorist did of the Zaspruder and Weigman footage. Also, look at the synchronisation I did between these two films earlier in this thread which closely parallels the work done by JFK Theorist. You will notice that as Weigman runs towards the Hesters the Zapruder film is still running meaning Zapruder is still filming meaning that Zapruder and Sitzman are still on the pedestal as Weigman runs towards the Hesters.
That's why you can't see them walking away in Weigman.
As Weigman reaches the spot where he starts filming the Hesters, Zapruder and Sitzman get down from the pedestal.
Altgens8 is taken at the same moment. It is taken a brief moment before Weigmam has the Hesters centred and stable in his footage. Mr Hester immediately gets up and runs into the pergola.

This subject is always accompanied by persons who think they can come in and divert around the fact the 6th Floor Museum copy possesses enough data to prove Prayer Man is Stanton...

Nobody cares.

Here's the actual first frame from the Darnell film, taken from my lossless Youtube download and not a lazy Youtube screenshot



and NO the Bell Film does NOT SHOW WIEGMAN RUNNING, it shows a walking camera man at the bottom but not him running.
This is taken from a high quality 1080p version without the watermark.

 Hi Matt,  This Bell frame is the clearest version of the film I think I've ever seen, clearer than the 6th floor museum's released copy (which doesn't include the entire frames right side as well as all of the sprocket area, sadly). 

                                                                          ALTGENS 8  VS  THE WIEGMAN FILM

       On "Altgens 8",  we are told that we are seeing the backs of Zapruder and Sitzman having just gotten down from the pedestal. They are standing on the cement just to the (E) of this same pedestal. In the background, we see BOTH of the Hesters flat on the ground, close to the Pergola. Per Trask's "Pictures Of The Pain", "Altgens 8" was taken from the (S) side of Elm St. It was taken Immediately after Altgens took the photo of the rear of the JFK Limo as it raced toward the Triple Underpass. (Time Stamp)
       On a good copy of  the "Wiegman Film", there are 2-3 clear frames showing this very Same Pedestal and the cement just to the (E) of this Pedestal. There is also a frame clearly showing the inside of the Shelter behind this same pedestal. These frames were taken BEFORE Wiegman filmed Both Hesters laying on the ground, and Mr Hester then getting up and moving to the Pergola behind them. These 2-3 Wiegman Film frames showing the pedestal and the cement to the (E) of the pedestal, do Not show Zapruder. They also do Not show Sitzman. And the Wiegman Film frame clearly showing the inside of the Pergola Shelter behind the pedestal, shows the Shelter to be empty.
        How is it that these 2-3 Wiegman Film still frames of the pedestal area do Not show any trace of Zapruder and Sitzman? Along with the shelter behind the pedestal being filmed empty? Zapruder and Sitzman are Not inside the shelter. This completely changes the currently accepted time lines of these images and the people captured within them. Wiegman got out of Camera Car #1 LATER than we were led to believe, and he then filmed the JFK Limo going under the Triple Underpass LATER than we were led to believe. The same goes for the Darnell Film footage of Officer Baker running toward the TSBD. That currently accepted :20 second time line is Wrong. ALL of these images were incorrectly time lined in order to corroborate each other. The now much clearer JFK Assassination Images, also being readily examined/viewed online, is exposing this chicanery.
