This video shows a slow transition between the only two still frames of the Claremont "Mystery Man" taken from the CCTV footage inside the Continental Hotel in 1996. The transition simulates movement and shows the variation in movement speed between the Mystery Man's hands compared to other people in the room. The time difference between the two frames must be only a second or so. In my opinion, the sharp movement of his hand, along with lack of head movement and body movement indicates that he was smoking a cigarette. The video is a 6 second loop.
