  Testimony Of Abraham Zapruder
ZAPRUDER - Yes, the reverberation was such that a sound--as it would vibrate--it didn't vibrate so much but as to whether it was a backfire--in other words, I didn't from the first sound, from him leaning over--I couldn't think it was a shot, but of course, the second--I think it was the second shot.
ZAPRUDER - Yes, they are frame by frame and they weren't very clear, for the simple reason that on the telephoto lens it's good to take stills--when you move did you ever have binoculars and every time you move everything is exaggerated in the move that's one reason why they are kind of blurred--the movement.
ZAPRUDER - Toward her--there are so many frames, of course, this is probably his first reaction, but he leaned over--it would be after the shot was fired, after I heard a sound, he went like this [leaning to the left and holding both hands to the left side of his chest].

 Abraham Zapruder
Abraham Zapruder (May 15, 1905 - August 30, 1970), a manufacturer of women's clothing, filmed U.S. President John F. Kennedy's motorcade traveling through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas and unexpectedly recorded the entire John F. Kennedy assassination.
Zapruder, who suffered from Vertigo, had to be steadied by his secretary Marilyn Sitzman as he stood atop a pedestal that was part of a concrete pergola.
That night, Zapruder had a nightmare in which he was walking through Times Square and saw a booth advertising "See the President's head explode!" He determined that, while he wanted to make money from the film, he did not want the full horror of what was seen to be made public.

 The Zapruder Film of the Kennedy Assassination
Zapruder could only recall two shots, with the fatal head shot causing him to realize the loud reports were actually shots being fired at the President.
Somehow, Zapruder kept the camera to his eye even as other photographers jumped for safety; or, like Altgens, were too shocked to press the shutter.

 Zapruder Film a Fraud?
But when it comes to defining what copy of the Zapruder film he is analyzing, all we are told is he is using David Lifton's "slide set." He made a copy of Lifton's copy, and compared them with the fl-and-white frames published in the Warren Commission Report.
He further states he approached Zapruder family attorney James Silverberg and obtained selected frames and a "continuous film strip copy" allegedly made from the National Archives copy.

This volume emerged from The Zapruder Film Symposium, which was organized and moderated by James H. Fetzer on the Duluth Campus of the University of Minnesota, 9-11 May 2003, and may well prove to have been among the most important conferences in the history of the study of the death of JFK.
One of the first results of the Zapruder Film Conference was the discovery that the films available to the public, including David Lifton's "Z Film" (undated), the Macmillan CD (1993), Robert Groden's "The Assassination Films" (1965), and MPI's "Image of an Assassination" (1998), all differ significantly in the amount of information they provide.
In the interest of advancing the frontiers of knowledge, education, research, science, and inquiry, this new, improved version is being made available to the public free of charge.
