Long Sasquatch Video

Short/lightened version

Original Version.
Lighter Version.

The kid who filmed this video swears black and blue that it's legit, maybe I should start asking questions to the people who upload these videos to youtube.

In the description he says that he is tracking animals for a school project, the video starts out like that, eventually he finds some unusual man like footprints and decides to follow them which leads him to the Sasquatch, about 2 minutes into the video.

The live commentary seems a little geared towards something and the footprints have what looks like an ape thumb, pretty similar to what you'd find on a monkey costume IMO.

He swears it's real and it leads me to two ideas, if it is indeed his fake why would he support it so much, it doesn't seem like to much fun, especially judging from some of the comments he's getting. The second idea is why is good footage, meaning clear, long shots always almost instantly deemed fake when a 2 second smudge from a quarter mile away worthy of discussion.

I know context, history, details are important but what if great footage goes unnoticed because of first impressions.
