Pixie Investigation With Mr. Erwin Saunders.

[Ninurta]

Good heavens, that many?!!

In my mind somewhere, there's a little light that flashes every time I see the second sequence where the 'Frog-Bat'
takes off from the cliff-ledge. I've seen something like it before and I keep coming up with the idea of cave-swifts for
some reason. It's the sleekness of the shape that's tricking me.


Good luck with the sorting.

I got all the frames extracted, and the frames of interest culled out of them. There were 3 scenes with the critter in them, and I kept all the frames from those 3 scenes, whether the critter was in that frame or not. I ended up with 2181 frames culled out, trashed the rest - but I still have ALL 22,000 frames backed up in a ZIP file. The initial video file was 189 MB, but all of the extracted frames as JPGs came out at a whopping 5 GB.

I'm still stepping through them, noticing things - for example, in the first scene I see an orb floating around, which is odd, as they usually only show up under artificial lighting from the direction of the camera, because they are reflecting that light, but this video appears to have been shot using ambient light.

I can see the critter's eyes blink. I can see it's throat pouch bellow out. I noticed that in the first scene, when the critter flies the coop, Tom's head movements perfectly track the critter's flight.

This is a crop and enlargement of one of the frames in the second scene, and is the clearest in-flight image I've been able to find:



ETA: The final scene in the video bothers me. Tom leaves to get the gear in broad daylight so that Erwin can set up camp, but inexplicably, when he gets to the gear to recover it, it's full dark. The video ends with that gear recovery - but why was it even included at all, and why was it full night time before Tom could get TO the gear, much less back to camp with it? I thought maybe there was an Easter egg hidden in it, and stepped through the frames. At about 14:25 of the video, there appears to be something to the left of the gear pile in the cave that disappears, but it's so fleeting and indistinct that I can't tell if there is even really supposed to be anything there, much less what it could be.
