Stacking Enhancement of Darnell Doorway Frames

[James Hackerott]

In your opinion James, who is Prayer Man?

Frederick, I don’t have an opinion on the ID of Prayer Man. I believe it is not Oswald. I began thinking he/she was an obese woman, not necessarily Stanton. After viewing the SFM’s Darnell video, and noting a thin linear feature like a string tie (see the tracing overlay in the op) I realized  the style of ties in 1963 were fairly thin - so a thin tie is possible. A tie, open collar and short sleeves are the most notable features I observed. It is my opinion that a real and useful enhancement would at a minimum start with high quality digital copies of the museum's DVD frames and then analyzed with stacking techniques. This will probably never happen though. Ultimately, digital copies directly from the film would give the best results. However, I doubt that even then there will be enough resolution to make a universally accepted identification.

A soda bottle, open collar and rolled up sleeves.........

There is a horizontal line from eye level to the back of the head. An arm of glasses is reasonable, rather than a shadow as you presented.

Nothing from the fringe is reasonable.

Sunglasses, eye patch, purse, wig 

Anybody can imagine anything looking at a distorted smeared image. Doesn't mean that's what it is.

Eye patch, I thought most people knew Frazier wore no eye patch. A feeble attempt at levity on my part – shame on me. But purse, wig are you seeing those in my post?

The purse and wig came from another poster in the past.
