How To Build A Bigfoot Suit
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on January 10th, 2014
I posted about this movie and their Kickstarter campaign a few days ago here on Cryptomundo: Primal Rage: The Legend of Oh-Mah
Magee FX shows how they built the suit to be used in the upcoming film Primal Rage: The Legend of Oh-Mah.

Hey, it’s another Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie. Cool! :^)>
Still they can’t build a really good bigfoot suit. The unimpressive form and lack of powerful bulk and musculature is disappointing once again. Clearly human proportions.
Other than the historical precedent set by gorilla costumes from the 1930s, why do gorilla/bigfoot/dog-whatever suits always have bald breasts? Wasn’t even Patty supposed to have hair on her breasts?
Oh wait! Great job! Except.
1. Inability to walk through woods. (Patty does what very few city slickers could without falling down.)
2. Proportions wrong.
3. Um…that’s a suit.
Back to proverbial drawing board. 46 years, people. How long before we just start accepting the possibility that ain’t a suit? This is like waiting for the Great Pumpkin here.
