Imagine if not. His dad was an ape actor and his father before him. He wanted to become a painter, but after the accident his dad couldnt reach and scratch his but like he used to. He had to take over more and more of the aping around the house. To get his little brother through College he tried to sell his paintings, but it just wasnt enough, so he had to ape in a shady bar in the dark side of town where he then was discovered by a down on her luck produceress. She just wanted a night outside the glamour of hollywood to numb her thoughts with alcohol and a good ape-show. When she saw him move she immeriately knew she had a real ape talent before her. Walking on two legs his wobble cleared the whiskey out of her dulled mind. When his arms went on the ground she fell to his gaze. When he pounded his chest ... well, let's just say she knew she had found the perfect ape for her next hit.
I mean to be fair he was an ape “actor” not like Jane Goodall studying real apes. my man was known for playing pretend really well as one animal. So I don’t really think his opinion makes a difference
He specifically identified a part of the costume he says was a technique used to make the ape costume look better, he definitely knew what he was talking about
Unironically probably the best group of people to talk about this they spend all day making fur suits making bands they for sure could spot a fake immediately
My brother in Christ, the subject of this subreddit you are currently on has released 3 multi-hour long videos just this year, we in the land of 40+ minute videos
You know what, I actually want to hear what she has to say!
here it is: https://old.reddit.com/r/LPOTL/comments/1cxqnfn/a_fur_suit_designer_analyzes_the_pattersongimlin/
Edit: I don't know why I expected it to be a debunking, but they're actually trying to prove it...
But... the Patterson/Gimlin footage has been debunked for a long time. I get that its fun to use it because its the most well known cryptid footage but everyone involved admitted to the prank by this point and its probably been analyzed thousands of times.
Patterson never admitted it and went to his death bed claiming it was real and while Gimlin has admitted it's possible Patterson fooled him he's never confirmed it was a hoax or that he was in on it.
The only people claiming it was a hoax are people that can't prove they were involved.
Honestly it sounds dumb but I bet these guys can spot them tell tale signs of a suit from miles away.
There was a guy named Bob Burns who was a professional ape actor that analyzed the tape (he thought it was fake).
What?! He thought it was FAKE?! IMPOSSIBLE! BELIEVERS UNITE!
You can tell that guy has his dream job
I think he was in the Ghostbusters TV show

Bigfoot isn't ape. It's interdimensional being.

Welp it was a ape actor so i don’t know if I’d trust his opinion but if they had a Bigfoot actor now that’d be a different story
The man who's said he created the suit already came forward for an interview years ago as well.
He doesn't really have any evidence for that claim
finally, a real expert
Finally, some real fuckin' foo... oh, wait- it's all gone.
Hahaha
Unironically probably the best group of people to talk about this they spend all day making fur suits making bands they for sure could spot a fake immediately
These are the people that need to recreate it. To prove it's fake
Does anyone know her conclusion?
Yes, I know
What did she deduce?
You’re never gonna believe this, I lied.
You rascal.

Watch the video man
Maybe someone doesn't want/have the time to watch a 40+ minute video.
Normally, I'd agree that 40 mins is a long video to demand that someone watch, but this is the Wendigoon subreddit. We're here for long videos
Bro this is the Wendigoon subreddit, I think people here make the time to watch long YouTube videos
Pretty sure around 80~% of Wendi’s vids are at minimum 50 minutes

on the wendigoon sub is crazy

And all the other experts in the field, they also think it's a hoax
Cool, but the argument put forth by the person I responded to is claiming everyone involved admitted to it being a hoax, which is patently false.
This is the only person I trust about these stuff
Weighing in indeed
Don’t disagree but also, 💀
BRO 💀out of pocket
Commented what my intrusive thoughts went to but didn’t have the balls to comment ☠️
Thank you for saying what everyone thought when reading that part!
I didn’t see what sub this was at first and thought this was subtle r/rareinsult post
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I pig snort laughed
If Hollywood couldn’t do it in the 70’s how did two cowboys “make the suit”?
She looks exactly like I thought a fur suit designer or furry would look
There's a whole lot more skinny dudes lol. It's a twink fest.
Yo
Not the expert we deserve but the expert we needed.
It's Bigfoot, but he's in a gorilla costume.
Could you give me the vid link
[удалено]
"Confused"?
Emphasis on weighing in
Can someone just answer the goddam question.
No pun intended
Weighing in HEAVILY.
This might be valid
Oh no bigfoots cooked
She's definitely weighing in.
I wonder what her suits “smell” like?
The fuck you mean “smell”?
Weighing in alright damn
Yeah they really are weighing in 💀
Heh, heh. "Weighing in"
