The film went to Washington DC to be edited. Disney invented the multi-plane camera but by the 1960s the CIA or the FBI could easily have had their own multi-plane camera at their disposal.
When the film was edited into what we see today, it could have been projected onto a screen. The fakers could simply film this "new version" of the assassination using a Brownie camera identical to Zapruder's.
Kodak's 8mm film cameras did not capture images in sharp focus. The blurriness of a second generation film would pass for first generation, and the piece of film would give all the appearance of never having been edited as it was not edited, but merely filmed off a screen (or perhaps copied in a Moviola device.) But the Zapruder film we are allowed to see is not the film Zapruder actually shot.
Zapruder was paid well by Life magazine for the film, and his family was paid even better decades later by the federal government. Their silence was purchased.
