Horne on Wilkinson's 6K Forensic Version of Z Film

Hofeling:
"Here’s a timestamped summary of Doug Horne’s presentation:

- (00:00) Background: Doug Horne, who served with the Assassination Records Review Board from 1995 to 1998, published a five-volume book in 2009 detailing his conclusions about the JFK assassination, including evidence of a medical coverup and film alterations.

- (01:17) Sydney Wilkinson's Research: Sydney Wilkinson and her husband, Thom Whitehead, initiated a forensic analysis of the Zapruder film in 2008 by purchasing a 35mm duplicate negative of the Zapruder film from the National Archives for $795. They created two sets of digital scans: one in HD (1920x1080 pixels) and another in 6K (28.6 million pixels per frame), ensuring maximum detail for their study.

- (04:23) Forensic Findings: High-resolution scans revealed anomalies, including blacking out JFK’s exit wound and other possible modifications. These changes were likely achieved using 1960s animation techniques with an optical printer and animation stand.

- (06:15) Technological Limitations: While 1963 technology could black out or paint over details in individual frames, it could not alter body motion or add new elements. The alterations were rushed, likely due to anticipated investigations immediately after the assassination.

- (07:31) Key Evidence of Alterations: Dino Brugioni, a former CIA official, recalled a longer head explosion with white mist and flying debris, which contradicts the red mist and brief duration seen in the current film. Such effects could not have occurred in just one frame at 18 frames per second, raising doubts about the film’s authenticity.

- (11:57) Professional Scrutiny: Hollywood professionals examining the 6K scans noted unnatural shadows and anomalies on JFK’s head wound, with many concluding the film had been altered. Some experts unfamiliar with the assassination stated the imagery appeared manipulated.

- (13:05) Documentary in Progress: A documentary based on these findings is being developed in California. Horne believes it will demonstrate that the Zapruder film is not an authentic representation of the assassination.

- (13:43) Conclusion: Horne asserts that modern forensic scrutiny exposes the Zapruder film as a rushed and imperfect alteration, designed to mislead investigators and conceal details of the assassination.

1. Doug Horne's Work and Book: Doug Horne worked for the Assassination Records Review Board from 1995 to 1998.

2. The Zapruder Film Research Project: Two friends of Doug Horn, Sydney Wilkinson and Thom Whitehead, embarked on a research project to analyze the Zapruder film in 2008. They purchased a 35mm dupe negative of the film from the National Archives. This copy, a third-generation copy, is very close to the original film.

3. Digital Scans of the Zapruder Film: The researchers created two sets of digital scans of the dupe negative: one at HD resolution (1920 by 1080 pixels per frame) and another at 6K resolution (over 28.6 million pixels per frame). These high-resolution scans were done in logarithmic color, which reveals more image content compared to the linear color used in documentaries and television shows.

4. Anomalies in the Zapruder Film: The digital scans revealed significant anomalies in the film, suggesting possible alterations. The scans show what appears to be crude blacking out of the true exit wound seen at Parkland Hospital. This led to the question of whether it was possible to use animation techniques to alter the film in 1963.

5. Aerial Imaging Technology: Doug Horne cites a 1965 textbook, "The Technique of Special Effects Cinematography" by Professor Raymond Fielding, which describes an aerial Imaging setup. This setup involved an animation stand, a condenser lens, and a process camera. It allowed for the alteration of film frames by drawing on acetate cells placed on the animation stand. This technology could be used to black out wounds, paint on new wounds, or alter the image content in other ways.

6. Technology and Alterations: Doug Horne argues that the technology existed in 1963 to alter the Zapruder film by blacking out areas or painting on new elements. However, the technology was not advanced enough to alter significant aspects of the film, like the motion of the president's body in the car.

7. Dino Brugioni's Recollections: Dino Brugioni, who worked for the CIA's photographic intelligence center, viewed the JFK assassination on the camera-original Zapruder film. His recollections of the head shot differ from what is seen in the Zapruder film. He describes a larger head explosion, a white mist instead of the red mist seen in frame 313, and a longer duration of the explosion than a single frame could capture.
