I would like to see the film after it has been cleaned up, and a few experts look and see what they think. I’m not going to be to quick to judge this one. I saw some things that looked different. So I want the pros to look at it first.

A typical obvious and amateurish hoax - hundreds like it at youtube. I’m not impressed in the least. It is in fact comical.

An obvious hoax when you take into account that on their website they have still photos of a Bigfoot-like creature running and crouching. The bigfoots’ facial expression is always the same, indicating a static mask.

So I looked at the video, both regular and magnified, numerous times.

While watching the latter, watch the right hand (”plant hand”) of said BF when he first appears and hops over a small felled tree–it looks wrong. I don’t know how to explain it, but its hand appears to bend backwards like there was nothing in it.

I don’t know.

Regardless, I don’t believe its real.

I think you’re absolutely right, Seethingcauldron, and that is reason for optimism since a new generation of large scale optical devices tied in with sophisticated image processing software is making its appearance in the real world. I think new strategies using these emerging technologies could be promising….but a bunch of guys, even experienced ones, going out to try to a capture an event such as we’re likely to encounter (momentary and un-expected) is really very unlikely even given decades. Also the diet of high quality nature film we’re fed on TV and in the movies has the typical observer believeing it must not be all that hard. It is very difficult, technically and physically. Never the less, something tells me that if someone locates a population and has studied its behavior well enough that one could predict its movements so that one could indeed capture beautiful moving crystal clear images of the archetypical sasquatch, it would more than likely be dismissed as looking too good and bring up the latest special effects from Hollywood or Wellington. Controversy sells.

Do you know what the first accepted video evidence will look like? I picture nature videos of chimpanzees and gorillas. Something in perfect focus, full light, unhurried and most likely very, very quiet so as not to spook your subject.

Pseudo-hunting parties are not going to find the evidence we need. Only organized field work will find the truth and that’s going to take decades.

mystery_man: I agree with you about P/G.

I’ve said elsewhere that no piece of current evidence can become any more compelling than it now is. That may not be the case with P/G. The more fakes I see, the better it looks.

UKCryptid- It’s interesting that you mention the way he runs away because my own personal take on it is that that is the most realistic part of the video. If I heard some huge thing crashing through the woods behind me or if my friend yelled “Hey look out!” (which he may have done, with no sound it’s hard to tell), then I would have just scrambled away as fast as i could without looking behind me first too.

One thing, I’ve been looking at the video to see this ‘two takes’ thing people have mentioned, you do actually see the camera zoom in whilst filming, as the view leaves the kid running away, it zooms in to the level that people here are saying happened in ‘one frame’, but I can see it happening?? Don’t think there’s a two take situation there at all, and my bigfoot or mr dude-in-a-suit could have quite easily passed into a small clearing and been illuminated, there’s also no reason to suggest that ‘he’ would just run in one direction.
