I gotta say, this is what has me thinking this could be a hoax.
I just can’t see Ady sayin’ “Well, the costume didn’t work. I give up.” and just leaving this flaw unchanged.
But, maybe that’s the best option. I certainly don’t have any ideas on how to fix it without the new suit.
I might agree (especially as it wouldn’t be the first time Ady has done this), but I took the winking as more of an emphasis on “The Curse of the Wampa”.
Regardless I will admit that I was quite surprised to learn that Ady was attempting a full body suit rather than just using the head as a puppet. Surely a puppet would be a lot easier, and considering how brief the 3 shots of the wampa that Ady is trying to replace are would be more doable especially considering how well the puppet in the original version was pulled off.
I’m not really here to give suggestions at this late in the game, but here I go anyway: there are two realistic options if replacing the shots is still a go. 1, use the head as a puppet for the new shots (and I would assume realistic movement could be pulled off), or 2, take one of the two original puppet shots, insert the cave background, maybe digitally manipulate it a bit (speed, digital morphing, etc.) and call it a day.
Of course he could be pulling our leg, but we’ll find out soon enough.
