Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I just thought of something: I have been saying for a long time that what they show today in A Year Ago Today is a splicing together of the Lovelady clips from 3 Shots and 4 Days. And, those clips are totally different from each other. In fact, they have to be totally different. Because: how could they spice them together in sequence if there was any duplication of the same frames? They couldn't.

So, they were spliced together, and it took a lot of speeding up and blurring up in order to sell it. It's a sleight of hand trick. a bait and switch. 

But, where did the splice take place? It took place around the Curtain frame. The Curtain frame is where the big linebacker cop gets in the way and takes up practically the whole screen. And when he steps aside, wahlah, we are in the other film. 

And I redid the Splice collage which shows you how it was done.

This is from A Year Ago Today, where the frame on the left preceded the frame on the right. You know that the frame on the left is from 3 Shots because that guy on the far left with his hands in his pocket does not occur in 4 Days. And you know the frame on the right is from 4 Days because you can begin to see Embedded Lovelady seated at the desk. We can also see the tall cop in the white hat beginning to veer right, which he NEVER does in 3 Shots. So, that is definitely from 4 Days, those are definitely different clips.  

But, the way you can tell that they're different is by examining the right shoulder of the big linebacker cop. On the left, his shoulder is wider and more sloped. It angles down more. On the right, his shoulder is higher, less sloped (more horizontal), and not as wide. The difference in those two shoulders is your visible evidence of the splice.  

I don't say that this was easy, and I don't deny that they did a fabulous job of integrating the two films. I'm sure they recruited the best talent in the world at this kind of thing. And remember that they had plenty of time. This was done years after the assassination, and they had no time pressure like they did on 11/22/63. Then, they were rushing frantically to get the Altgens' revisions completed quickly, but here they could take their sweet time.
