A recent video posted on YouTube by the channel "A Flash Of Beauty: Bigfoot Revealed" has caught the attention of the Bigfoot community. The video features an interview with Joel Hynek, a visual effects supervisor for film and TV, who shares his experience working on the iconic Predator films.
Hynek discusses the development of the "cloaking effect" or "camouflage effect" used in the Predator films, where the creature becomes invisible by using the background image to manipulate its appearance. He explains the technique used to create this effect in the pre-computer generated imagery era, which involved creating outlines of the human form and then layering them to create the illusion of invisibility.
The interview takes an interesting turn when Hynek is shown a clip from Barb Shup's forest walk, where a dark figure can be seen moving behind a branch. Hynek analyzes the footage and shares his thoughts on what it could be, suggesting that it could be a real cloaking device or a visual effect. He also mentions the possibility of it being a compression artifact, but dismisses it due to the branch in front of the figure not being affected.
As a Bigfoot believer and a curator for Squatchable, I find this video intriguing and worth sharing with our community. The analysis of the footage and the discussion of the cloaking effect used in the Predator films is a fascinating look into the world of visual effects and its potential use in the Bigfoot community.
I encourage our readers to watch the video and share their thoughts on the footage and Hynek's analysis. Whether you believe it's a real cloaking device, a visual effect, or something else entirely, the video is definitely worth a watch.
In the meantime, let's keep an open mind and continue to seek the truth about the existence of Bigfoot.
