Thank you for the still frames. In the sequence, the camera is slowly zooming in. On several of my past projects, we used imaging seekers. When an object of interest is small compared to the pixel size, like 2x2 pixels, small changes in camera position cause it to sometimes be 2x2, sometimes 2x3, sometimes 3x2, sometimes 3x3. This causes the object to change apparent shape and luminance as it wobbles with respect to the pixel grid. This can be exacerbated if the object is actually changing size, like you are closing on the object.
All of this is happening in the bush in front of the gunmanâs head. There is wobble, there is closing in based on the zoom. There is no little âobjectâ in the bush that is seen in only one frameâsometimes little things are dimmer or brighter or changes shape, or goes away for a bit. Look at other parts of the bush as well and you will see the same behavior, but there arenât cartridges there. I donât see the parabolic arc of an ejected cartridge in the sequence.
Now, could someone add a few little fuzzy âblipsâ judiciously to the sequence to kind of lead the eye between the scintillating leaves or whatever?, Sure, the eye is easily tricked. I donât see them here.
Turning to the shoulder, I aligned all these crops where the pants intersect with the roof. Because the phone is zooming in, I then added dashed lines at the peak of the dark spot in the armpit, front of shoulder, and front of glasses. The relationship between the four control points stays basically static during this 1/2 second of video.
Like you said, I canât vouch for the chain of custody for these frames, other than I got them from your Google Drive. But at least in these, I donât see recoil and I donât see a tumbling shell.
However, the hole point of having both videos are to compare the one from last Friday with the one from Tuesday. Did you compare frame by frame?
I think if you look very carefully in the video from Friday, you see one small casing ejecting in one frame, but no dynamic action by Crooks.
Then in the video from Tuesday you can see more body and head dynamics by Crooks and enhanced casing ejecting throughout more than one frame. This has been altered between the two videos and we have the proof if you compare each frame by frame using the dif checker tool.
Like I said, for those who want to download the older version (from Friday) please go to the scoopernews page and download the video.
You can compare it with the newest version on the homepage of TMZ.
Immediately after the TMZ video was posted, everyone began to complain and remark upon the lack of recoil. It was the number one point of concern and disbelief.
Then all of a sudden there is a video released that has recoil and a casing?
I guess these small vents belong to the restrooms.
These AC units are huge. I strongly beleive they have clean rooms, since it is a glass research laboratory, which needs high pressure in those rooms to flow the dust out at any openings. So these units look to me not simple air condition equipments.
Is it possible someone to take a closer photo? Type, manufacturer?
I will compare the two videos frame by frame. The analysis for the other one will be like this oneâestablish control points and allow the eye to compare along the sequence. I first wanted to establish what one of them shows. This one shows no flying cartridge and no recoil.
Please have a look at Frame 175 from the Fridayâs video. This is the casing I was referring to. But I think it was so small that nobody could see it (including me) then eligibly somebody took the risk to edit the video over the weekend adding more dynamics and emphasising the casing in more than one frame. I think somebody got caught with the hand in the cookie jarâŠ
yes, I agree, but if you take frame 173, 174, 175 and 176 you see that casing shows up and then it vanishes again. The problem was that there was no riffle recoil in this version from FridayâŠ
What confused most people (including me) is that the bodycam of one of the first people on the roof shows him counting 5 casings. Then later in that same video, he counts 8.
As far as I understood, he first missed 3 casings because they were on the other side of the ridge, therefore his first count was only 5.
I think somebody even made a post at one point, indicating the casings on a still.
That was from my recollection of a discussion a few weeks ago. But in reviewing it now I see that the version of the vidieo where the vents or ports were obscured was from a low-res police body cam. In the high-res version they were present.
I dont recall seeing the video where an officer made a correction from the initial 5 to 8.
I just recall 5 shells counted on the video.
I guess I need to do some backtracking & see/hear for myself.
Iâm highly skeptical of this entire event & placing Crooks as a lone gunman.
I missed that âcorrectionâ in the number of casings from the officers on the scene.
I proudly wear the mantle of being a skeptic when it comes to the govt version of events, etc on J13. It started years ago with the events at Dealy Plaza and has expanded.
There was way too much misinformation from the start.
Also what caught my attention was the fact that this was the first event that the USSS had deployed a counter-sniper team. And in addition, it was livestreamed by several major networks - which could be just a coincidence but nonethelessâŠ
