However, if it is true that fakery was at play here, it means a great risk to why the video was originally made.
The charity would be incidentally dragged through the mud and Maver's YouTube channel would be mocked and useless.
Now... if someone has somehow 'hijacked' the video whilst it sat in YouTube's control, then we're in a place far-deeper than
Loch Ness!
It's a pickle-alright and seriously damaging to the idea of charity-donating.
Aye, Cap'n! That would be a pickle!
The image I was referring to was this one:
Mainly because of the apparent - but certainly not perfect: note the splotch at the"tail" in particular - match of the spots and splotches on the beastie's back.
It seems a match, but there is the overlying water to account for, the "fade in" of approaching up from the depths, and that annoying flipper and possible tail wiggle at full resolution to account for, which I think it would be difficult for a static drawing to produce.
I finished watching the Part 1 video, and did not see that shot in it. Might be the beer, might be the rum, or it might just be that it ain't there. Without a link and a timestamp, I don't suppose I'll be able to find the source of the TOS image. That makes it not reproducible, and therefore "not science", so I am at an impasse.
There WAS a stuffed Nessie doll pictured at about 28:00, but that was in a canoe in the River Oich, before entering Loch Ness.
"Science" is why I put all the information that I did into the post of the GIF. anyone can do it, given the link, the timestamp, and the methodology. Without that information, I'm afraid the TOS image is not reproducible, and therefore somewhat apocryphal.
When I get up tomorrow, I'll probably dig out my old video deconstruction software, strip the video down to individual frames, and try to match up the earlier drone shot in the video without Nessie with the video shots later WITH Nessie, and see if there is any real correspondence there. In the images pointed to in the linked article, the waves are not the same, so a different image, not the same one, It looks to me like the article took different frames (potentially one from before when Nessie came up from the depths) and tried to compare them and claim that Nessie was CGI'ed in, and I ain't buying it until I do my own footwork and reconnaissance in the matter.
But for now, the sun is coming up, and I gotta get back into my coffin before a stray sunbeam turns me into a pile of dust.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
