"Death in Dealy Plaza" Gifs and frames

   ROBIN - Thanks for posting this photo. It shows how narrow that landing was in front of the TSBD front door. And it displays the edge of the Island that Officer Baker ran across as he headed toward the TSBD front door. I also would be interested in how high above ground level the Zapruder Perch is vs this Top of the TSBD front steps. As anyone can see, from the Top of the TSBD front steps, you can see all the way down Houston St. That height is even well above the water pool. This is a very educational photo on many levels.

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.
