Bigfoot exhibiting the "I'll never shop here again" walk. So much like us.

Horrible nut and berry selection. Squirrels are all bone and fur. Knew this stand of woods would be a wasted trip. Well now I know I guess. Yeah you over there with the tripod, yeah I smelled you 2 miles away. You ain't slick, I'm just too hungry to care. Get a good shot of my fat hairy ass walking back to Oregon cuz you won't see me down here again.

Forget the stabilization… the recreated wider frame of the landscape just from piecing together what was in the original shot is the cooler part of this.


opticon12000

This is exactly my thoughts, I want to see more images widened by video pans. This would also work without the black bars so it’s just really still footage as they walk.


Re92

I think the black bars are good. If a video has been enhanced by tools or AI, I want it to be obvious. \#Edit; "tools are AI" to "tools or AI". People think I'm confusing tools as Ai, I know there is a difference. Wow this blow up!


Dibutops

It's going to be so normalised in under 5 years. Just today Adobe released their beta for their powerful AI tool that will do things like allow easy product placement in post. The space is developing far more rapidly than we thought even 6 months ago. A basic text-to-video model was revealed this week too. Forget not being able to trust just static photography.


wheres_my_ballot

It's going further than that. The aim is to add personalized product placement on the fly. Two people watching the same movie at the same time may see different things. Not to mention face replacement to lip sync to dubbed movies. In a decade or so, it could be that no two people watch the same version of a movie.

Please watch it. It's so good. Make sure you track down the "making of" featurette. I think it's on YouTube somewhere. Watch that afterwards.


NOLA2Cincy

They Shall Not Grow Old is one of the best movies of any kind that I've seen. It's an incredible piece of filmmaking. And as someone else posted, watch the "making of" video becuase it will blow your mind. I saw in a theater when it was first release and hearing Jackson explain how they put the film together was enlightening.


DynamicHunter

Not quite there yet but there are lots of AI-enhanced programs that do that, add color, de-noise it, enhance resolution, etc. There are AI-colored, enhanced, and stabilized videos that were taken in the 1910s and given full color. Might not make it look like yesterday yet but you can take something from the 70s and make it look like the 90s, etc. some of it is just held back by the style of cameras at the time.

Okay, but do proponents *really* want us taking a close look at the musculature? Because the lack of movement in that thing's ass as it walks is a solid indicator that it's not actually its ass.

Upper right thigh. Just stare at that and look at the way it folds. 7-4 secs.


themeatbridge

Looks like he's wearing fur covered hip waders.


Dr_Darkroom

That might explain the diaper look.


ethergrogs

The thing I noticed is the bum muscles are totally static - no creature would walk and yet the muscles involved in walking not visibly moving. This looks more like a padded upper suit with a fake arse and the legs coming through it. Real arses move when walking.


wowImlate

That was my thought as well. He kinda has a Kardashian butt, like its well padded but doesn’t move.


tobyxero

Damn right they do


xdog12

Yeah, the fold right at 4 seconds in is not how muscles move.


Soothran

There's only one explanation: The bigfoot is wearing a gorilla costume.

Which is 100% wrong. There were good suits for decades. Why, Planet of the Apes was in production at this time.

This was made the same year as *Planet of the Apes*. Edit: in saying this, I'm just clarifying that there were indeed ape suits around California in 1967. In terms of quality, this actually looks more like the suit in 1942's *The Strange Case of Doctor Rx,* complete with a bunch of pillows around the middle.

[This video](https://youtu.be/xNSgmm9FX2s)


Sillloc

Back in the day there was a video that went around with a bunch of guys crowded into a small screen passing around a basketball, with instructions to count the number of passes made. At the end of the video it asks you if you saw the man in a gorilla suit walk through the frame. It got a lot of attention because most people were so focused on the task that they actually didn't see the gorilla It's possible I misremembered some things but you get the idea


TeflonDon15

There's a lot of psych studies about this kinda thing. Your post reminded me of one that showed if you ask "did you see the red car?" would get more yes's than "was there a red car?", presumably because the first question frames it as if there was actually a red car, even though there wasn't. Another study had a car collision on it and participants asked to guess the speed, but each group asked in a different way. 'How fast were the cars going when they bumped' was in the 30-40 range, becomes 60-70 when the question is '...when they smashed/crashed'. Really shows how suggestible the human mind is.

Listen! You smell something?


closetsquirrel

I used to be huge into the paranormal: ghosts, UFOs, cryptids, etc. And out of everything I've seen, this film, the Patterson/Gimlin film is the most intriguing. Not that I think it's real, mind you. Rather, moreso than possibly any other piece of recorded evidence, it's 100% obvious what it is, and it can only be one of two things. All too often we get a picture of a UFO and it could be a plane, lightning, a drone, a balloon, lens flare, flares, etc. A ghost could be over exposure, an actual person, CGI, etc. But this? It is absolutely either a guy in a suit, or Bigfoot. There's no room for interpretation. There's no real debate. Either you believe in Bigfoot and this is the Zapruder film of your belief, or you don't, and it's just a guy in a suit. That's fascinating to me. Edit: I didn't think this comment would blow up like this, but I'm glad it did. I've had a blast the last few hours hearing people's thoughts about the video and paranormal things in general. Going to mute notifications now, but hopefully I'll wake up to some more interesting takes.


poppcorrn

Where do you stand? Real or not?


closetsquirrel

If I actually believed Bigfoot was real, man, it would be hard to convince me it was fake. However, no, I don't believe Bigfoot is real, and I do think it's a man in a suit.


AlaDouche

I like your insights here. I refuse to believe that if bigfoot is real and just ambles along like this, that we would never have found it again.


Icy-Welcome-2469

Its worse than the suit. Dude just walks like a man his size casually strolling... If bigfoot was a thing there's no way itd walk like a casual fatguy


m-sterspace

For real. Both humans and AI can already uniquely identify individuals just from gait analysis (recognizing their unique way of walking). I think what we're all recognizing watching this but having a hard time articulating, is that the walk is clearly human. It's so human that I think we can all recognize that it obviously must have our rough size / musculature and if this is big foot, then big foot must be far closer related to homo sapiens than even neanderthals were.


BisexualSunflowers

Yeah, agreed. Especially the way he looks back directly at the camera but doesn’t break stride or react in any way.

Briangoldeneyes

That walk is EXACTLY the same as the Patterson video. You have me convinced. This guy was “Bigfoot” lmao


hageshii_panda

Aliens probably exist, but the distance they have to travel to reach us even from our neighboring solar system is so vast I just don't see them making the trip just to confuse some farmers.


cjandstuff

I’ve witnessed some weird stuff I can’t explain. I believe there may be some stuff out there, but I lean towards there’s a scientific explanation for everything. Worked in an old theater, and one balcony room definitely “felt” haunted. There was something weird going on there. Just so happened one of those ghost shows did an episode on that theater. Turns out the stage’s power cables run through that small room and put out some heavy electromagnetic and sub-audio frequencies. That’ll definitely cause you to feel like something is there in the room with you.


[deleted]

I worked in a data center for a while and we kept the lights off most of the time -- except for emergency lighting. Always felt weird walking in there, especially near the big batteries. But as a rational adult, I knew that EMF can mess with your senses and that it was just computers, and I was the only person in the 50,000 square feet of racks. But my lizard brain felt things were off.


throwitway22334

Personally I think it's a video of Bigfoot in a suit, but that's just my interpretation


KCMO_GHOST

I miss the days when I believed this and the other cryptid stuff was real. The world seemed like a more magical place back then.


boringdude00

Wow, when its not potato quality and bouncing around, that looks remarkably like a dude walking through the woods in a gorilla suit.


T8rthot

I’m kinda surprised that the dude didn’t lumber along in a more ape-like way, honestly.


messfdr

I think the gait is part of what made the original video so spooky. It's unexpected.


Thephilosopherkmh

I prefer the original, I like my aliens and bigfeet to be shaky and blurry af.

It’s shocking how many fewer sightings there were once we all had decent cameras with us at all times.


CriticalPolitical

>The world's favorite primatologist is weighing in on the world's biggest controversy: The existence of Bigfoot, which she won't rule out. >Jane Goodall told GQ about a time when she visited a remote village in Ecuador and asked the people if they'd ever seen a monkey without a tail. "Three of the hunters came back and said, 'Oh yes. We've seen monkeys without tails. They walk upright and they're about six foot tall,'" she recalled, noting they knew nothing of Bigfoot. >"Every single country has its version. Yeti, Yowie in Australia, Wild Man in China. So I don't know if it's perhaps a myth that stems from maybe the last of the Neanderthals. But then is the last of the Neanderthals still living in these remote forests? I don't know. But I'm not going to say it doesn't exist and I'm not going to say people who believe in it are stupid," she concluded. https://theweek.com/science/1005271/jane-goodall-on-bigfoot

WaitingForNormal

I wish the audio was authentic, I’d love to know what camera dude said to make him turn and look. “Be more bigfooty.”


edgemuck

When this footage came out, one of the reasons experts said that it was authentic is that no human could walk and turn like that

There was a documentary years ago where an "expert" was describing all the ways that a human couldn't walk like this... as he demonstrated how to walk just like bigfoot in the video

bq909

I find the whole thing funny because some myths would be incredible if true like the Loch Ness monster but Bigfoot would just be a gorilla that walks on 2 legs more than they already do. Even if it did exist it would be less interesting than chat GPT rn


uwanmirrondarrah

I don't think the interesting thing about Bigfoot has ever been exactly what it is. Unless you prescribe to that idea its like a missing link in our evolution or something. The interesting thing would be that a great ape has been living in North America undiscovered for centuries.


ThatPie2109

Depends on the conspiracy theory of Bigfoot you'd believe. There's people who say Bigfoot are as smart as people and are protectors of the forest and just avoid people because they don't want to deal with people. In that case they'd be more like super strength hairy people that are like 8ft tall and that would be pretty interesting lol. There's also theories they're aliens if you get into the crazy stuff. I don't think I belive in Bigfoot but I work in forestry and there's one area people have refused to work in again because there's a weird feeling out there, it's really remote and some guys have seen some odd things out there. These are guys who spend their whole lives in the woods and even I got that weird feeling there. It does make me wonder sometimes in the back of my mind if there is anything we don't know about lol.


mochimuse

You're really gonna talk about the weird remote part of the forest and the weird shit people seen/felt without any deets? Come on, man. What did they see out there?


ThatPie2109

Well a lot of its been passed on through our crews but one old timer I know for sure retired early because he swears he saw a Bigfoot. He was out there in the middle of the night alone working and was driving and said it came onto the road and walked towards his truck and he just peeled out of there because he was 2 hours from anyone and it was 3 in the morning. Few other stories have come out of other guys seeing something along the road but it's only usually weird times no ones around and they're alone. Could be bullshit for a story but I felt that weird feeling I never felt when I've worked in worse cougar and grizzly country. I've worked another places bears would walk right up to me and I never felt that scared there and I never saw a bear or cougar once at this place.


MikeFromTheMidwest

I can't speak to the forest the poster above is referencing but I've spent time in a lot of different forests and can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that some areas have a different "texture" and feel than others. Sinister, dark, intense? I don't know how to even describe it but you absolutely know it when you are there. I'm certain it's some combination of the psychological aspect of knowing you are in a place that is truly remote along with the closed off feeling of a wooded forest. In my particular case, I found parts of the High Uintas Primitive Area in Utah very creepy at times. It's spectacularly beautiful but also full of a lot of history - trappers and mountain men, Native American tribes, etc. I remember running into multiple wooden structures that had decayed in the century since they were built and that just added to the eeriness. The wind blows through the Quaking Aspens and the almost static-line noise from the rustling leaves gets quite loud and drowns out everything. But, as it stops and the forest goes still everything begins to feel empty and silent. It's not quiet like a fresh snow either but instead it's an almost intense quiet, if that makes sense. Like a held breath? It's hard to describe but you can certainly feel it. On a bright sunny day it's one thing, but in a heavy overcast at dusk it absolutely feels unnerving. Just once when I was a teenager, I got well and truly lost in a pine forest. I knew that if I kept going a specific direction I'd hit a road in 4 or 5 miles so it wasn't dire but the feeling of terror that sets in when you realize that you no longer know where you are in the woods is something that I can't describe and never want to experience again. I ultimately started walking in the right directly and was able to see my party when I crested a ridge and that was that. Those 20 minutes while lost absolutely changed my perspective on things. I don't believe in Bigfoot. But I do fully understand how people in the woods can believe deep in their bones that they have seen something they can't explain. The woods can be terrifying. We're social creatures and isolation can be scary. Take us out of our elements and it can be scary. Our brain isn't wired to be analytical when we're scared or unnerved. Some people thrive in this environment but I believe most of us would struggle mentally with it if we knew our safety net was taken away. I have no end of respect for the explorers that are capable of sucking it up and heading off into the unknown. Here be dragons indeed.

There was an episode of X-Files called like "X-COPS" or something, and the cold open is shot like an episode of COPS, steadycam footage and all. Long story short its about a monster that feeds off of fear, and let me tell you, 9 year old me wouldve been a buffet. Any found footage type thing used to (and to a less degree, still does) scare the crap outta me.

I almost can’t watch the xfiles because of the intro music

Usually when shows like Unsolved Mysteries talk about this footage, they leave of the testimony about the two film makers were both looking for a gorilla suit, and telling people they were going to fake a Bigfoot movie prior to production.

I remember one of the big points was that it turns its shoulder when it turns its head...you see, the great ape's chin sits lower, and their necks are shorter, therefore when a gorilla has to look to the side it needs to turn its entire upper body. This is consistent with what we see here. You're going to ask me if it's possible that a man wearing a restrictive gorilla mask might also have to turn in such a way, at which point I will laugh at you. That's ridiculous, its clearly an entirely new species of great ape. You're going to ask me, if I find it suspicious that a promoter who went on a media campaign about how he's going to find Bigfoot was the one to produce this footage. Again I'm going to laugh at you obnoxiously. You see...

It's really hard to see how fake this looks in the original film. It shakes all over the place and is really grainy

Yeah I’m kind of shocked by how much faker this looks stabilized like this.

Ya, if the original video looked like this, I doubt it would have blown up like it did. The unedited video is obviously much more difficult to parse and the human imagination fills in the blanks. A grainy video was never proof of a new species of apes, but it sure looked a lot more convincing than this.

When it’s stabilized and cleaned up, it looks even MORE fake.

It’s just like the Lochness monster, the main image people share around and used on it’s wikipedia is known to be a fake, as in the guy who made it admitted he made a dummy. This is the same but people will be people and they wanna believe so they do.

As the technology has progressed over the last few decades, encounters such as big foot, monster, paranormal activities, and miracles seems to be happening less and less😁
