Stabilized version of the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film
from Wikipedia:
The Patterson–Gimlin film (also known as the Patterson film or the PGF) is an American short motion picture of an unidentified subject that the filmmakers have said was a Bigfoot. The footage was shot in 1967 in Northern California, and has since been subjected to many attempts to authenticate or debunk it.
The footage was filmed alongside Bluff Creek, a tributary of the Klamath River, about 25 logging-road miles (40 km) northwest of Orleans, California, in Del Norte County on the Six Rivers National Forest. The film site is roughly 38 miles (60 km) south of Oregon and 18 miles (30 km) east of the Pacific Ocean. For decades, the exact location of the site was lost, primarily because of re-growth of foliage in the streambed after the flood of 1964. It was rediscovered in 2011. It is just south of a north-running segment of the creek informally known as "the bowling alley".
The filmmakers were Roger Patterson (1933–1972) and Robert "Bob" Gimlin (born 1931). Patterson died of cancer in 1972 and "maintained right to the end that the creature on the film was real". Patterson's friend, Gimlin, has always denied being involved in any part of a hoax with Patterson. Gimlin mostly avoided publicly discussing the subject from at least the early 1970s until about 2005 ...
Patterson and Gimlin both denied that they had perpetrated a hoax, but in a 1999 telephone interview with television producer Chris Packham for the BBC's The X Creatures, Gimlin said that for some time, "I was totally convinced no one could fool me. And of course I'm an older man now … and I think there could have been the possibility [of a hoax]. But it would have to be really well planned by Roger [Patterson]."
from Joe Nickell for CenterForInquiry.com
Philip Morris was born January 8, 1935, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, as Philip Morris Smith. At age eight he shortened his name and took to the stage with a magic act. ...
In 1955, Morris and his wife Amy began selling theatrical supplies as a home-basement operation. One product was a gorilla suit, used especially for a popular sideshow illusion called “Girl-to-Gorilla.” (In this, Beauty is visibly metamorphosed to Beast, then suddenly lunges from the unlocked cage, stampeding spectators from the tent. ...
About August 1967 (Morris recalled in a 2002 interview on Charlotte radio), he sold one of his gorilla suits to Roger Patterson, who used it in his famous hoaxed Bigfoot film on October 20 of that year. Morris informs that his suit was made in six pieces: head, body (a back-zippered fake-fur torso with arms and legs), and a pair of glove hands and latex feet. Patterson may have seen the Morris ad for gorilla suits in Amusement Business magazine, says Morris
from the Washington Post:
Bob Heironimus, a retired Pepsi bottler from Yakima, Wash., ... donned a gorilla costume and appeared in the famous grainy film clip that helped fuel the Bigfoot craze in 1967 and is studied by Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yeti investigators to this day.
"It's time people knew it was a hoax," Heironimus told us. "It's time to let this thing go. I've been burdened with this for 36 years, seeing the film clip on TV numerous times. Somebody's making lots of money off this, except for me. But that's not the issue -- the issue is that it's time to finally let people know the truth."
from Skeptical Inquirer, July/August 2004:
Moreover, several other people in the small town of Yakima have
all vouched for Heironimus's story and can prove that they first
heard of it shortly after the hoax was created.
Heironimus claims that the Bigfoot costume was made of
synthetic fur and bits of leather from a horse's hide. Patterson
had added "breasts" to the chest of the Bigfoot creature.
Heironimus also remembers that it contained football shoul-
der pads inside it to "bulk it up," and that the head piece was,
in fact, a dressed-up football helmet that had a mask attached
to the front of it
In 1967, about two months before the film was made, Morris received a telephone call from Patterson: "I was the only one who was making a gorilla suit like that at that time. I knew what my gorilla suit looked like. It was brown. In the fifties and sixties, I made my gorilla suits only in brown. . . . Patterson asked me if I had a realistic-looking gorilla suit. I immediately asked him if he was a carny [carnival worker]. He said, 'No, I'm a rodeo cowboy. We're just going to have some fun.'"
Morris recalls, "So I took one of my gorilla suits and shipped it to him. Parcel post, if I remember. It was a standard suit we sold to all our customers. Then, not long after he would have received the suit, I got a call from him. He said he had received the suit, and that it seemed okay, but, he said, 'I can see the zipper in the back.' I told him, 'Just brush the fur down over the zipper.' The fur on the suit was a material called Dynel. It was a nylon fiber, a popular material back then. It was used on lots of things, like plush toys, bathroom rugs, toilet seats. I bought it from my supplier in only two colors, black and brown. Then Roger wanted to know how to make the arms longer. I said, 'Find a shovel handle or a stick and slip it in the sleeves. Then attach the gloves to the stick.' That's how to extend the arms in a costume. You screw the gloves onto the stick. Then he said he wanted to make the shoulders more massive. I told him to go down to a local high school and get some old football pads—the coaches would probably be happy to get rid of some old, cracked ones—and put them in the shoulders."
Morris stated that a six-foot-tall person could fit inside the suit. Bob Heironimus is slightly taller than six feet, and he was very muscular as a youth, especially in the shoulders, arms, thighs, and legs. Photographs taken of Heironimus in 1967 confirm this. Using a technique called photogrammetry, a study of the Bigfoot film done by the BBC calculated the height of the Bigfoot at just slightly over six feet.
Regarding Bigfoot's gait, Morris states: "The Bigfoot researchers say that no human can walk that way in the film. Oh, yes they can! When you're wearing long clown's feet, you can't place the ball of your foot down first. You have to put your foot down flat. Otherwise, you'll stumble. Another thing, when you put on the gorilla head, you can only turn your head maybe a quarter of the way. And to look behind you, you've got to turn your head and your shoulders and your hips. Plus, the shoulder pads in the suit are in the way of the jaw. That's why the Bigfoot turns and looks the way he does in the film. He has to twist his entire upper body." Heironimus also confirmed that he had to turn his entire torso, instead of just his neck, because of how he was constrained in the suit.

Here is clarification from city of Seattle on parks and other areas:
Seattle Parks & Recreation <[email protected]> 8:10 AM (3 hours ago)to dave Dear Seattle Parks and Recreation community, I am writing to share important information about continued impacts the coronavirus public health emergency is having on Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) facilities and programs. In alignment with Governor Inslee’s statewide ‘Stay Home, Stay Healthy’ order, Mayor Jenny Durkan has announced that the City of Seattle’s policies on facility closures and permit suspensions will be extended until at least May 31, 2020. The May 5 registration for fall childcare and summer programming is delayed until later this summer (no date is set). May 12 registration for summer childcare (ages 5-12) is ON. May 12 registration will begin with current Emergency Childcare in coordination with DEEL for essential worker families. May 19 registration will open to enrollment to our scholarship families. Registration will be open to all on May 26 as space is available. An additional email on summer childcare details will be coming soon. All programming, rentals, and permitted events will remain canceled, and all community centers, pools, environmental learning centers, and all other recreation facilities will remain closed to the public until at least May 31. TEMPORARILY CLOSED: Facilities: All community centers, teen life centers, pools, small craft centers, environmental learning centers, and the Amy Yee Tennis Center are closed. Programs: All recreation and athletic programs, including (but not limited to) swim lessons, lap swim, youth basketball league, drop-in sports and activities, track and field programs, tennis programs, exercise classes, dance classes, art classes, and teen programs are canceled. Rentals: All SPR facility rentals are canceled. Permitted events and field reservations: All permitted events and field reservations are canceled. Specialty gardens: The Volunteer Park Conservatory and the Japanese Garden are closed. CURRENTLY OPEN: Shower program: SPR’s free shower program for Seattle Public Schools students and community members in need will continue at Delridge, Green Lake, Meadowbrook, and Rainier community centers. Miller’s shower program is currently being used only for the shelter residents currently in place there. Parks: All SPR parks, trails and open spaces are open (with the exception of the Volunteer Park Conservatory and the Japanese Garden). Community members are encouraged to use our parks, but not to congregate and to follow public health guidance around social distancing. PARKING LOTS are closed at these popular parks to help disperse crowded conditions: Along Lake Washington Blvd (Adams St, Duck Bay, Ferdinand St, Lower Colman, Mt. Baker Bathhouse, Stan Sayers, Prichard Beach, 49th St), Seward Park, Genesee, Carkeek, Discovery, Golden Gardens, Green Lake, Kubota Gardens, Lincoln, Magnuson Park, Matthews Beach, Riverview, Volunteer, West Seattle Stadium, Woodland, and Atlantic St Boat Ramp (except when UW will be offering their drive-up COVID testing). Play area, boat launches, tennis courts, picnic shelters, and other high-touch amenities are still closed at this time. We ask that you assist us in encouraging your friends, families, and neighborhoods to continue to follow public health guidelines about physical separation as you visit our parks and open spaces. In addition, if your favorite park is crowded, we invite you to discover others among our more than 480 parks. I know that these continued facility closures and program cancelations are increasingly challenging to the many of us who rely on SPR for places to gather and connect with friends, family and community around health, wellness, educational, athletic, recreational, and environmental offerings. SPR staff is dedicated to supporting Healthy People, a Healthy Environment, and Strong Communities, and we have been exploring ways for the community to continue to engage with us via virtual community and fitness programming via
Facebook and YouTube during these temporary impacts. I encourage everyone to check the following resources for updates about SPR operations and facilities.Stay informed:

As this unprecedented health emergency continues, we will communicate any additional program changes as soon as possible.
Sincerely, Jesús Aguirre Superintendent Seattle Parks and Recreation

After all my research, I have a very strong idea on what I want to achieve for my experimental film.
Music chosen is ‘With You’ by STWO. The location would be in the woods, with natural day light and during the golden hour. I planned on having a solo female dancer performing a contemporary and urban dance fusion piece. She would be wearing long light weight wavy clothes like Amy Yakima is wearing in her clip performing with Travis Wall. It is important to have a little bit of choreography but I would like to have more content separated from it; such us: the woods, the girls bare feet on the ground, her running and/or wandering, close ups on her eyes and hands, having her in harmony with the surroundings (trees, leaves, rocks, light through the tree branches). All footage would be hand held, never a still shot. The editing would be to the beat with the movement like ‘Gut Instinct’ of Melissa Freire or ‘New York is Killing Me’ of Chris Cunningham and also play a lot with reverse technique as in ‘Scientist’ of Coldplay and ‘Only you’ of Portishead music videos. I would like to incorporate dreamy visuals, lens flares and different layers overlapping as in Chris Cunningham Gucci advert ‘Flora’ or Billie Eilish ‘Ocean Eyes’ music video. Also I planned using a perfect harmony between slow motion and fast pace always matching with the beat of the music.
