Like many people in America I have
always wondered whether the harrowing accounts of sea monsters, sasquatch
and other cryptids truly exist in our world or are just tales made up by
folks with vivid imaginations. That was an easy way
to leave the question until video camcorders and digital cameras became so
prevalent that nearly every home in America has at least one now. Not only do we have the riveting accounts by
witnesses to these amazing creatures but now we are blessed light high tech
equipment to capture imperial evidence of bigfoot.
The digital age though
has added a new twist to witness evidence, before 1995 or so all video
cameras were analog and all still cameras were film. At the the time you
could only manipulate film with air brushing or in a darkroom and
that was limited to mainly highlighting and darkening using light. Not many of
us back then had darkrooms or were the artist to do air brushing. It
was also very difficult to tamper with movie film unless you had access to
expensive equipment and know someone from Hollywood to carry out the extensive
work.
Now that we are in the
digital age anyone with Photoshop program $800.00 and the desire to learn the
software can manipulate photos. Digital video is much harder to manipulate and
extremely expensive and time consuming. But you look at movies like transformers
and you see the results.
What all this means is
still photography in my personal opinion is useless as evidence of bigfoot.
Anyone with Photoshop can produce a picture in
10 minutes that 98% of American's could not tell if it was faked or
not.
When it comes to
digital video you have the same problem except far fewer people with the
knowledge and resources to manipulate video successfully. Ninety
percent class a encounters caught on video cameras are either unrecognizable blobsquatches or
hoaxes. The remaining 10% are
identifiable enough but many might still argue the point. As far as
video evidence goes I feel there are possibly a handful
of films that could be argued in court as evidence of
Bigfoot. Rumors abound that there are videos not seen yet by the
public that will make many Americans change their minds about Sasquatch
existence I truly hope so. Unless you see one for yourself or have access to never seen before video
this mystery of the giant hairy people will remain a myth to most people in the world.
What we are trying to do
hear is provide the public with top notch bigfoot research information
and video evidence that passes the blobsquatch and hoax test. We may not
get it right all the time but we hope to give you
the best evidence available to us.

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo basically, you're saying photos are worthless because they will always be questioned? I guess if you took a shot with old style camera, it might be more believable.
