Film footage comparison & film tampering...

[Jake Maxwell]

Just a casual view of most all of the amateur films at Dealey Plaza seem to show some signs of degradation.
Orville Nix said his film didn't look the same when it was returned to him from the FBI.
I wonder if some of the films were intentionally degraded and then copies returned to the film owner.
Here's my question: How do the Dealey Plaza films compare in quality to other films these same amateur film makers made with their cameras?

I grew up around film-developing and 8mm film... I don't recall any footage as out of focus and degraded...

Just how do you propose to do this? Time has all but run out.

Are there available home movies from the same cameras used to film the Dealey Plaza footage? If available, how do they compare? Were there other film owners who had a similar complaint as Nix?
Those are just a couple of thoughts I might have about this....
And the still photos from the professional photographers could be examined... How do their Dealey Plaza photos compare in quality with their non-Dealey Plaza photos?

Yes I know what you are saying. I'm simply asking what do you intend to do to try and get an answer to your question.

I don't have the means to do anything... Someone else might... or someone else might have already done some investigation on this. I do think such a comparison might provide some answers for us, that is all...

Why not contact the families and ask the question? I personally think it is a waste of time but if you feel strongly about it then spend some time establishing contacts and see if it leads to anything of interest.
