How to Evaluate Bigfoot Video
How do you evaluate Sasquatch video?
I look first at if the person says who they are who did it and the situation in which it was done, how much of the film were allowed to see, and how much the photographer seems to know where the BF will arrive from?
I appreciate Fred Kanney's videos because he is right there in the video, many times a week, walking the woods and sharing knowledge, sometimes zooming in on possible Sasquatch and other times not realizing he filmed one until he got home and reviewed. This is the most common thing. Almost never do people see the Bigfoot as they are filming. They are filming in the woods, panning back and forth, and later zoom in and see what was there as they filmed. Fred also makes himself accessible to discuss what he found and you know the context in which it was filmed.
Next, I look at gait and proportions, as well as behavior. There is a great deal of dispute about the Patterson Film. I disregarded it most of my life until I saw a Bigfoot in the mid 80s. That changed my view while seeing the film because the one thing that stuck out in my mind was the proportions of this “person” were all off just enough that my artist's eye was confused. Also, the individual was walking sideways on a steep incline without once glancing down.
If we look to Patty's proportions, we find that her legs are 1/3 of her total height. If I had that proportion, I would be 96 inches tall instead of 68!
I know a lot of folks have a great deal of belief in the Freeman film, but it has always bothered me that this Bigfoot was looking for places to step as daintily as a barefoot debutante. I don't fully discredit it on that alone, but some things about it make my spidey senses come to life, that he is filming footprints, sees it coming just at that moment, films it and talks out loud as it's walking and it doesn't seem to care, and yet it stops, looks for places to step and looks rather tentative about its voyage.
Sometimes you see a glimpse of something odd. In this case (below), it looked like the BF had a belt on or something bright colored and seen for a fraction of a second around the 51-52 second mark.
I slowed the video above down at the 47 second mark to 25% (the gear at the bottom of the videos on YouTube allows speed adjustment).
I stopped. I took a screenshot and put it into Photoshop where I could blow it up and get more detail.
In this case, the first shot looks like he's carrying something. The closer shot shows it is a piece of the tree in the foreground showing up against the darkness of him in the background.
The hardest thing in the world to do when one is looking at a supposed Bigfoot video, is to forget that you are SUPPOSED to see a Bigfoot. Try and suspend that notion for the time you are viewing. The truth is, once someone tells you to see something, it's hard NOT to see it.
Now, can you see what's really there? the forehead of the Christ face is a baby's bonnet. The eye of the Christ is the child's face. The nose and cheek of the Christ are the child's arm and chest in a gown. Hard to see the baby for the Christ, huh?
Review your motives, your beliefs, your skepticism and take that into account and be honest with yourself. Sometimes, the person we most want to NOT film a Bigfoot just might have. Now,what do we do when we someone we don't like just made a find? Try and keep yourself open and always humble. The one you ridicule today might be the discoverer of tomorrow.
Here's a fun one for y'all. Let me know what you see -
