New Film Shown at South by South West "Capturing Bigfoot"

[Trogluddite]

And here we go w/a quick review of Evidence v. Egos.  All times are from the YouTube transcript; all comments are made by Eric from Hairy Man Road.  He managed to squeeze 3 minutes of specific information into 12 minutes this time, so his signal to noise ration is at least improving a little. 

 

1:00 Patricia Patterson "admits that the 67 footage is a hoax."  Who calls the P-G film "the 67 footage?"  Is he referring to the new footage, which he mistakenly referred to as being shot in 1967 in his first video?

 

Starting at 6:41, the narrator states that Jeff Meldrum (RIP) agreed that it was a dry run.  In the last video he has Dr. Meldrum saying "it looks like a dry run."  That's not an insignificant difference, and had a follow-up question been asked, it would clarify if Dr. Meldrum would have been able to offer a more complete answer.  He might have, and that answer might be on the cutting room floor.

 

The narrator then states that Patricia Patterson admitted that it was Bob Gimlin in the film.  That's like claiming as a shocking development "that Japan once attacked U.S. forces in Hawaii."  I think everyone with some actual knowledge of this matter knows that there was an earlier attempt at making a commercial film.  

 

Then at 6:51 the narrator declares that Bill Munns is only defending the film because he (Mssr. Munns) has a financial stake in the P-G film being real.  If that's the case, Eric from Hairy Man Road has no credibility on anything he says because he has a financial stake in pushing his YouTube channel.  He also claims that Bill Munns is about to release another book on the P-G film.  "Everybody's saying that ..."  

 

Actually, there's only about 2 minutes of specific information that's even worth mentioning in this 12-minute clip.

Honestly, this whole thing seems like hearsay to me at this point, which is almost always considered to be weak 'evidence'.  Bob G. himself could tell me in person that the PGf was a hoax (I really don't think he would) but, I would still doubt that.  The PGf rehearsal being touted (as I understand), will need to be very convincing in order to sway my opinion.  And, I would bet you a dollar that it isn't.  If the PGf subject were or, if it even could be realistically replicated with, a costume, that would have been done many times by now.

"O Ye of Little Faith."

 

I've seen a few videos showing Bobby H. doing his walk. Patty's walk has nothing to do with the swinging of her arms. It has everything to do with the combination of:

 

1) The compliant gait and

2) the 41" step length and

3) the substrate upon which she walked which was uneven and moved beneath her foot and 

4) her ability to maintain her graceful steps despite all the above while looking back as she continued to glide along.

 

Those who think it's no big deal--try it at home. Place markers every 41" then attempt to do it in a controlled environment where the flooring is rigid and perfectly flat. Be sure to maintain your lower leg nearly parallel to the ground as you lift your knee while striding along. Next, go to the beach and attempt the same walk while barefoot where the subtrate will move as your foot sinks in. Finally, maintain that same 41" step length and lookback as you continue to walk, never looking down at your feet. 

 

I've never seen anyone who video'd themselves who didn't look like they were ready to topple over. A clumsy oaf, rather than a graceful and gliding ballerina, and those who've attempted it did so without a costume, including full head gear, and footwear that would leave 14 1/2" long impressions in the substrate that could be casted.
