There are a few researchers for whom the Patterson-Gimlin Film
has sparked a life-long quest to analyze its mystery and the
possibility of Sasquatch. Concerning the preservation of the
actual film itself, no one has done more to secure its integrity
than William “Bill” Munns. While the original 16mm Kodachrome
Color-Reversal film shot by Roger Patterson has since gone
missing, Munns built a mobile High Definition digital film
scanner and with exclusive permission from Patterson’s widow
Patricia, has painstakingly scanned every frame of her first
generation copy at 5K resolution, even discovering an additional
two frames at the beginning, making the total count 954 frames in
total. Bill Munns has spent most of his long career in filmmaking
and creating special makeup effects, starting as a makeup artist
with Universal Studios in 1969. He created full body suits for
fictional creatures such as “Swamp Thing” and “The Beastmaster,”
and so he brings to the PGF controversy well-established
expertise in the fabrication of various creature costumes. Munns
also has spent the last 22 years doing computer graphics, which
positioned him well to do the image analysis of the PGF film
frames. So he is uniquely well-qualified to analyze evidence
consisting of 16mm film, and showing what many suspect is just a
human in a fur creature costume. Tonight we sit down with Bill
Munns for an interview in which he discusses his process,
analysis and his conclusions which lead him to believe the film
to be authentic.
