I was informed (by 6th Floor Museum [a few years back]) Myers used Z-
frame images captured from a 1" VT. If that is true, and I suspect it
was a canard, incredibly dumb, when 4x5 trannies were available... not
to mention videotape pulldown issues... all of course would lend to
any, ANY inherent film blur problems, especially concerning film
camera panning. Supposedly direct from a film lab in San Francisco.
The same SF film lab (Monaco Film Lab completed work on the alleged in-
camera Z-film. At onetime, the labs website touted the fact they did
color correction work on the "JFK assassination, original Zapruder
film --

I suspect the very reason why DM Lightwave Zapruder film-"Case Closed"
project files aren't available for other reseachers to critically
review and verify Myers on-camera claim of, "Case Closed"... Appears
HBO needs to review this too!
