Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

Where Chris Davidsons red arrow points to in that last post of Hughes film clip is the white blob that I was asking about.  So do THREE of us  agree now ,  that white blob with sliver of red  probably Lovelady sitting on the steps partly obscured by the blue shirt girl on the pedestal?

It's seems hard to imagine that by correcting the color cast in Towner that we end up with the white blob in Hughes.
Here's Towner slowed down to 6fps and stabilized. Does it appear as though that person (white blob Hughes/orange figure Towner) is waving with both arms not including the flag object bouncing around?
I'm not seeing that figure as sitting down.

Another revelatory stabilization, Mr. Davidson----------thank you so much! 

If it's not too much trouble, would it be possible to post this here as a gif? I'd be most grateful

Friends, I've long been bugged by how pink Mrs. Madie Reese's coat is showing up in Towner:



But nothing like a Davidson Stabilization to sort out signal from noise.

That pink ain't from Mrs. Reese's coat. It chiefly belongs to the raised (unsleeved) right forearm of this lady whom Towner catches after she's raised it to wave:



I say the pink chiefly belongs to her, because Miss Towner's POV is giving us a blend of this lady's unsleeved right forearm and that of the lady standing and waving a few feet behind her. Mr. Davidson's stabilized version of Towner allows us to see the flapping up and down of the hands (to viewer's right of the object being waved in the doorway):



Mrs. Reese, in short, is being all but blocked from Towner's view by these ladies' raised arms.

That's the first important fact which Mr. Davidson's stabilized clip allows us to establish.

The second is that there appears, after all, to be just ONE flag (or somesuch) being waved in the doorway:

The third important thing the stabilized gif shows us is just how energetically------nay, urgently------nay, frantically------the flag (or somesuch) is being waved. Here's the gif at something close to normal speed:



Red Shirt Man in Hughes has gone from this-----------

Hands up who thinks Mr. Billy Lovelady did this!
