Trying out methods used by Dale Myers

Andrew Mason asked how we are supposed to test Dale Myers' results from his animation. Dale explains his methods in detail. So I decided to give it the old college try. My tests are not near as precise as Dale's because I use generic character models and do not have anything nearly as accurate as Dale's model of Dealey Plaza. Please also note that the generic models do no have the ability to move the extremities or turn the heads. I tried to get the areas where the knots of the neckties would be to match as closely as I could reasonably do. Here is my first stab at this:

First I take a close up crop of the Z161 frame and match up the positions of the limo, and the two victims of the gun shots.




Then I have a "flyover" of the "camera" of the limo to give you some different perspectives of the seating positions.




Finally, here is the seating positions from the viewpoint of Croft at the Z161 point in time.




The seating positions are exactly the same throughout all of these clips. It appears to me therefore that these positions shown are very close to what they were on 11/22/63.

Very well done Charles.
Accuracy depends on the model you are using for the car, particularly the relative distances between the back and front seats. Can you provide the dimensions with an overhead view?

Try matching their positions to this photo on Main St.:
