But check out the frames around 38 thru 40 on the first slow-mo video. The silhouette is right and I don't see the 'actor' looking down like you often see in hoaxes during running sequences. The mask impedes their view of where their feet are going and they tend to stumble over ground litter instead of glide through thick underbrush like this 'creature' seems to. 'He' just seems too steady on his feet for the usual hoax 'look'.
I also noticed that the arms seem longer than monkey-suited actor's arms and at one point when the 'creature' is vaulting over the log, I definitely saw the fingers on the free hand articulate, meaning they aren't fake hands used to extend the arm length. Well, that and 'he' actually uses his right hand to support the vault.
I also liked the hair. It didn't have that costume hair feel to it. I know that our costume expert friend told us that longer hair is easier to work with, but I like that there are different lengths, not just long and that the long hair seems to be 'in the right places' -- like arm fringes and shoulders -- and not in the convenient spots that would conceal bad costume component integrations.
On the third video, I thought I saw some muscle movement in the buttocks and part of the back and there is a split second where we see the bottom of a foot. Is that a shoed foot? And again, I find the movement to be really natural and smooth.
The parts that have me really doubting is that I sense an almost human athleticism, like a quarterback's springy run, and not the juggernaut feeling I think I should see. But I've never seen a BF run, so... And the chest isn't barrel shaped. The torso should be thicker in my opinion, more massive. I think it's the chest and the almost human facial features that make BF's so damn unnerving to encounter out in the woods. If they looked more like gorillas in the face and more like chimps thru the chest, we'd probably have less of a visceral response to them! In the videos, we can't see the face, but the chest is definitely more sinewy like a huge chimp's.
Good points however since we never get to see the face of the Sasquatach the costume could have huge eye openings making visibility good. Notice they're not providing any footage of tracks or the path the creature took. Also the way the creature moves dosn't display the mass associated with the weight that its size implys suggesting that its a costume and not heavy massive flesh and blood.
