It wasn't some random fukker on a horse. The two guys who made that famous film worked at a TV and film studio. In the costume department.
That's not true at all. If that were true, they would've had a lot easier time trying to get that footage on tv, but it was repeatedly denied by the BBC, American media, etc. And the main guy, Patterson, resorted to showing it on his own dime, in an old outdated system of showcasing independent nature films called "four-walling" where you would rent out rural, local movie theaters and show the films yourself - hardly a professional endeavor.
The other guy, Gimlin, meanwhile, went into seclusion for ~30 years because his family was getting hate mail from people calling him crazy. He was a skeptical ranchhand that broke horses in that went down there just to see what was up, and wound up becoming immediately convinced.
You didn't substantiate your claim with any documented evidence. Even if they
were professional costume designers, Disney itself claimed that they would be incapable of mimicking that film - so you're basically claiming two guys, one of whom worked his entire life on ranches (not in costume departments) somehow invented in the 1960s the greatest costume of all time.
Nah.
"Dale Sheets and Universal Studios. Patterson, Gimlin, and DeAtley[233] screened the film for Dale Sheets, head of the Documentary Film Department, and unnamed technicians[131] "in the special effects department at Universal Studios in Hollywood ... Their conclusion was: 'We could try (faking it), but we would have to create a completely new system of artificial muscles and find an actor who could be trained to walk like that. It might be done, but we would have to say that it would be almost impossible.'"[234] A more moderate version of their opinion was, "if it is [a man in an ape suit], it's a very good one—a job that would take a lot of time and money to produce."[235] Disney executive Ken Peterson. Krantz reports that in 1969, John Green (who owned a first-generation copy of the original Patterson film)[236] interviewed Disney executive Ken Peterson, who, after viewing the Patterson film, asserted "that their technicians would not be able to duplicate the film".[131][231][237] Krantz argues that if Disney personnel were unable to duplicate the film, there is little likelihood that Patterson could have done so. Greg Long writes, "Byrne cited his trip to Walt Disney studios in 1972, where Disney's chief of animation and four assistants viewed Patterson's footage and praised it as a beautiful piece of work although, they said, it must have been shot in a studio. When Byrne told them it had been shot in the woods of Northern California, 'They shook their heads and walked away.'"[135][238]"
But I digress, I'm just sayin it's pretty obvious we went to the moon, and there's better shyt to be debating about on the internet. Saying we didn't go to the moon is as ridiculous as saying the world is flat.
