Seems the old tricks of blurry, shaking camera and brave outdoorsman running like a ninny are passed by now. I watched a compilation of bf sighting vids that the critter was mildly curious at best if he noticed the camera or just didn't care in the least. The "beast" suit ranged from straight up gorilla suits to some with oddly human features .

A few staples that remain are there was little reference to scale and distance. Never near anything of a known size to compare them to. Always slightly bigger than most of the trees in the area however. Always at the edge of a clearing in a woods.
It still looks like theater work but the blurry lens trick isn't always in use anymore.
Now the cameras are amazingly stable as if on a tripod and the need to run from bf is not present. He doesn't threaten anyone as much now.

The narrator of the compilation was completely convinced all videos were genuine somehow despite the bf appearing to be a different species of great ape in each one. Black to tan or orangeish hair, crouched to fully erect posture, stocky or tall and somewhat lean in build it didn't matter.

Bet he had to dig hard to find the best non cliche vids out there too. In a sea of crap he got some fairly clear (if distant) footage.
