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

Joseph Backes says that the reason this version of the Charles Buck film is so different from the other one is because its editor edited it differently.

But, what editor would have chosen to edit it that way? What he did doesn't make sense. Wasn't the most important person in the film Lee Harvey Oswald? And wasn't the second most important person the big cop in the white hat who was leading Oswald? Wouldn't you keep them and lose the others, if necessary? The other version shows much more of the big cop and Oswald. 

So, what reason is there to think that editing decisions had anything to do with it? 

I took a journalism course in college, and one of the things I recall from it is that with images, you obviously want to highlight the most important figures, but beyond that, you go for eye-catching details: things that will act like visual magnets. And in this case, that big cop in the dark uniform and the highly-contrasting white hat who is leading Oswald really stands out. The two of them together are not only the most important figures, but they are visual magnets as well. NO WAY WOULD ANY EDITOR CUT THEM OUT. 

So, where did Backes get the idea that editing decisions account for the differences? He just pulled it from out his ass. These are NOT the same film that was edited differently. These were different and separate films that were independently made. 

We know for sure that they were different because the Lovelady figures are different.

If you know how to think, and Joseph Backes does not, you know that that is a dealbreaker. No way can they be the same film since no way are they the same man. That clinches it. That ices it: they are different films. 

Now, how exactly they went about it remains a mystery. Obviously, it looks like the same setting.

The bottom one was the original footage with the Lovelady figure embedded. You can see how ghost-like he looks. Compare him to the other one, which is quite different. The Lovelady figure above looks much more solid. But, that is a frame right out of Three Shots That Changed America which was not shown until 2009, which was well within the era of digitalization and the advanced computer-generation of images. It may be that there they were able to use the original background and insert the back wall into the new film. You have to realize how good the technology is today to do this kind of thing. The ability to make fakeries look real has never been greater. And I'm sure the most advanced state-of-the-art techniques went into this. 

But again, the two different Loveladys prove that they are two different films, and that is a ringer. There is no getting around it. And both are fake because Lovelady was never there in that room, as he told us himself.
