Creating Magic with Bigfoot: Low-Budget Filmmaking Tips

A video posted to YouTube by the channel Chick Flick Films has caught the attention of the Bigfoot community. In the video, titled "Filming Bigfoot on Set - Shooting an Indie Film at Night," the filmmakers share their experience of incorporating a Bigfoot character into their micro-budget indie film. The video starts with the crew exploring a beautiful location, complete with a waterfall and lush greenery. They introduce themselves and their roles in the film, including the actor playing Bigfoot. The crew shares their excitement about using the DJI Mavic Pro drone to capture stunning aerial shots. As they delve deeper into the woods, they come across a Bigfoot costume lying on the ground. The filmmakers discuss the challenges they faced while working with a limited budget and how they had to make the most of their resources. They mention that the original Bigfoot costume looked poor from certain angles, so they decided to modify it by darkening the face, adding textures, and stitching on a second costume. They also share their "Jaws mentality" of hiding the creature rather than showing it directly. Despite the limitations, the crew remains positive and encourages aspiring filmmakers not to let their circumstances hinder their creativity. They emphasize the importance of collaboration and resourcefulness in bringing a project to life. I found this video intriguing because it showcases the passion and dedication of filmmakers who want to include Bigfoot in their work, even with limited resources. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of the legendary creature and the creativity of those who believe in its existence. I invite you to watch the full video and share your thoughts with our community. Let's celebrate the filmmakers' efforts and continue to explore the world of Bigfoot together.
