It’s Bill Munns. I gave the name wrong. Look him up. And unlike Rick Baker, he used original footage, not a fifth- or sixth-generation copy. Munns studied the film close up, frame by frame.
Jeff Meldrum at Idaho State is an anthropologist who specializes in bipedal locomotion. He knows the anatomy of feet and how human and ape modes of walking differ. He can, and has, spotted fraudulent tracks.
Both of these are credentialed people.
The ratio between the length of the upper and lower arm, and upper and lower leg bones in humans is well known. It is a human constant. It doesn’t change. Whatever is in the PGF isn’t human; the proportions are wrong, and the step is wrong. You could not make a suit with those knee and elbow points that a human could use.
They need to ask Bob Gymlin how he made the suit and what vendors, materials, and processes were used; how long did it take to make? The suit in the “New film” is actually the suit that was supposedly made two years after the Patty film.
I can’t explain the date discrepancy.
But which of these is more likely:
Someone used a copy of a recreation film that somehow had the production date altered, perhaps maliciously, and asked a confused old man to explain it. He couldn’t.
Or
Two cowboys with high school educations secretly created a suit that well-known Hollywood costume makers couldn’t replicate, using techniques and materials that had not been invented, hired a 7-foot actor to wear the suit and shut up forever, and made fake footprints that could fool an expert in ape footprints?
Take your choice.
Why no trail cam footage?
They must hibernate during deer season?
