CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now” Tonight
I will be a guest on CNN tonight, Friday, June 1, 2007, between 8-9 p.m. ET, on Paula Zahn Now, discussing the Gordon Holmes Nessie footage. Yes, this video is exciting a lot of people, but I wish it would have happened some other week, from a purely personal point of view. As the producer was trying to convince me to come on the show via emails and several calls – my first priority, after all, is that it’s my son’s senior prom this evening – she says: “There is a tremendous interest in the story (the most popular story [...]
Best Nessie Footage Yet?
Can you see bumps on the head? A new enhancement of the Gordon Holmes Nessie video, appears to show closeups of the “neck” and “head” popping up out of the water, thanks to Bill Appleton. Major news organizations are demonstrating thoughtful interest in this cryptid footage.
Radio-Controlled Nessie Video
The Gordon Holmes footage newly taken at Loch Ness, which you can view the stablized version here, should have us looking with caution at the footage of an already existing radio-controlled Nessie. Recognize the above image? Is this one of the two photographs of the original “Surgeon’s Photograph” from 1934? Or is it something else? Since 2005, the year when the Japanese toy company Takara introduced their radio-controlled Nessie, we all have to be careful and questioning when looking at new loch and lake videos of cryptids. Here are some photos of the model, in two different color versions, with [...]
Update: Nessie Video Stabilized
The following stabilizations of the new “Nessie” video were created and sent to Cryptomundo by Bill Appleton, Chief Technology Officer, DreamFactory Software, Inc. of Mountain View, CA. It is great footage that seems to show a hump, and then a long neck (perhaps even a head). Eel? Seal? Cryptid long-necked seal? Nessie? Unfortunately, without any reference points, the next question has to be: How big is this? Also, as I’ve said before, film footage is a form of an eyewitness’s experience and needs to be investigated as such. Background checks and a history need to be created on Gordon Holmes. [...]
Update: Nessie Video Posted
Below the image from the video is the news report containing the videotape by Gordon Holmes of the unknown in Loch Ness.
New Nessie Footage
New video footage, apparently somewhat compelling, from Loch Ness has been taken by a scientist, Gordon Holmes. Cryptomundo has technically been unable to upload the video, but you can view it here. [Update: The reported broken link, noted in early comments, has been corrected.] Below is Holmes at the site of his filming. Gordon Holmes told the Yorkshire Post I was sat in a lay-by about 70ft above the loch – it was 10pm but the sun was still shining on the mountains on the other side. I was minutes from going home and I had only gone up there [...]
“Mythic” Opens
The exhibition, “Mythic Creatures” opens at The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City on Saturday, May 26, 2007. Two good articles on the exhibition and the opening are (click on the title of each article for the link): “The Surprising Realities of Mythical Creatures,” LiveScience; “Exploring the Nature of the Unnatural,” New York Times. On some level, I was surprised to see Richard Ellis is a co-curator of the exhibition, while on another, I wasn’t. Richard has painted and illustrated various museums and books with some outstanding images of marine life, has a deep interest in [...]
Mothman’s Eyes: What Color?
Bill Rebsamen’s illustration completed for me in 2001, for use on the cover of my Mothman book. Does it matter what color the eyes of a more stylized imaging of Mothman appears in graphic art? Two color drawings of “Coleman’s Cryptozoo” arrived overnight from Len Peralta. What version of Mothman‘s eyes do you like? For a look at the black and white initial example of Len Peralta’ art again, go to ” Cryptozoo by Mail”. Should illustrative, graphic, and comic art stay close to the original descriptions of cryptids, or can it be appreciated as a form and extension of [...]
Cryptozoo by Mail
Ever wanted your own personalized cryptid? Well, for twenty bucks you can have your idea envisioned by an artist who quickly draws your desire, via Monster by Mail. (See more ordering info at the bottom of this posting.) Thanks to Rogier van Bakel, I heard about this artist, Len Peralta who is in the midst of drawing a very limited number (150) of “Cryptozoo” cryptids. Getting in contact with Len, I challenged the artist to do an original hand-drawn sample of his specially imagined “Coleman’s Cryptozoo” with a Yeti, Nessie, Bigfoot, Mothman, and Dover Demon, and email me the result.
