Watch: Almasty Caught On Tape In Russia?

I wonder if ThinkerThunker has completed a break-down on this video. I am not a video expert and I think it would be nice to get more context on a video like this, what did the witnesses say? Have a video expert look at this and see if this is possible CGI or not. One of the concerns about this video is watching their reactions and these kids do not seem to be concerned at all. What do you think?

      No offense but Russia is way behind in technology where that was filmed the were in a part of Siberia I would say it’s a first generation iPhone at best.

    I think it looks pretty genuine. Whatever it is, it’s rather large. A lot of people in Russia believe that the Almasty is remnant of a caveman or Neanderthal. Neanderthals were known to occupy certain parts of Russia when they roamed the earth. So it’s not totally out of the question to assume that. Whether The Almasty is a remnant of the Neanderthal, an ape or the same species as our sasquatch is hard to say. To be honest there’s really not that much information out there of The Almasty in comparison to the sasquatch, yeti or yowie

    I don’t know what that critter was, but I am fairly certain that it was not the result of CGI.

    I know just enough about CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) to completely screw up a simple project; ….And the one thing you learn from the very beginning is that “Foreground Objects” are your enemy!

    Every single foreground twig and leaf must be maintained as your generated image moves through the scene: ….And the more Foreground Objects you have, the more difficult it is to generate realistic video.

    In this video clip, the subject is passing BEHIND masses of foliage, bushes and trees! ……A truly monumental CGI problem!!

    I’m not saying that it is impossible to do this with CGI: …..But I will say that anyone who can produce a video like this on a computer should be pulling down $250K a year working for Disney; ….NOT messing around with fake BF video clips!

    Whatever that was and if it’s real it sure as hell had some serious mass/size too it.
    Amazed that boy wasn’t freaking out to get outta there. I know i wouldn’t be hanging around without an rpg in hand…

    See it running on two legs, dropping down on all fours, and then jumping over a log and spreading its arms out, that creature was traveling at a good pace. I didn’t think the kid saw it until the creature jumped the log or ravine. It was going away from them so the wasn’t concerned. Amazing footage, it looked real to me.

    After watching and watching, I honestly can’t identify anything that doesn’t look real, at least to me. I think the reaction of the boy would depend, to a large extent, on how he felt about the creature, pre sighting. Is that his dog in the foreground as the creature moves away ? An interesting reaction from it, if so. A really intriguing piece of footage, thank you for sharing it.

    Wow this looks real to me. First think I recognized was the size! That thing is huge. Looks just like a chimp in the movements. Multiple people on recent show described that they saw a giant chimp like Animal. Time code 1:36 is a prime example of why they are sometimes called NO HEADS.

    The very first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was PRIMATE!! That thing moves exactly like a CHIMPANZEE moves when they are moving quickly or aggressively. Go and watch some chimp vids taken in African habitats and you’ll see how they flail their arms while seemingly bouncing around.

    Lack of a scared reaction from the kid is easily understood in that he was likely standing right there next to his Papa. ALL kids don’t feel the same degree of fear as they should when they know their main protector is 5 feet away from them.

    That’s some pretty convincing stuff for me.

    It looked to me to be an enourmous primate moving very quickly. I think if it had been a hoax the hoaxers would have made more of a meal of it. It was over very quickly.

    Papa – Yeti: I’ve had that exact thought many times. I still have moments myself when that reality creeps back in… What The Friggin Hehl… These Things Are ACTUALLY Out There Roaming The Forests… My Gawd…

    I’ve seen this clip many times and think it’s one of the best examples we have to watch how these creatures can move through the terrain. No human could move that fluid through the forest like that. It had all the characteristics that we hear about besides being very large. It looked a lot like an oversized gorilla. I believe this clip is the real deal.

    When they say, “What do you think?” It’s a fake. The best film that’s going to come from Russia will be a road crossing encounter, due to poor courts and Insurance arguments, Russians are the biggest users of HD dash cams. Look at the meteor footage they’ve managed to cover with dash cams.

    If you consider this a staged event, it’s pretty impressive as to how natural the reactions of the young boy. Get him signed up for acting classes, not to attend but to teach. Footage of the creature looks fluid, natural and quick. The spread eagle arm action and hoping motion of feet in front of body was key. What else have they posted?

    The reaction of the kid and the individual who took the shot just seem to calm during the appearance of the creature. CGI? I don’t know. But it does seem to be a larger than normal gorilla. Although, there did seem to be two things moving. Just before the must notable creature appearing into sight, you can see movement further back in the wooded area, as if moving diagonally away from the camera. Also note the movement in the area from which the creature emerges, there seemed to be two things moving within that area.
