Did Bigfoot star in an IMAX film?

A sharp eyed viewer of the almost decade old IMAX film 'Great North' noticed what might well be a Bigfoot or Sasquatch in one of the scenes, which can be viewed below.

The alleged Bigfoot makes it's appearance chasing a herd of Caribou as they cross a river. The footage was taken in a remote wilderness area of Quebec in Canada.

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Association (BFRA) has set up a specific page on their website devoted to cracking the mystery of this clip and are calling for crew members involved in filming the scene to come forward.

BFRA regards this footage as of immense interest, although not conclusive. What do you think?

UPDATE !! (12 Noon PST, January 11, 2010): Moments ago we received the first reply from the president of Big Films Distribution: Mr. Daniel White.

White thinks it is a crew member directing the herd. He spoke with the cameraman (Filipe Teixera) by phone about it. Filipe (who apparently has not seen this web page yet) agrees that it is probably a crew person, based on his conversation with White ... White said in certain scenes of the film some crew members were "discreetly positioned" to direct herds where they needed them to go.

That is certainly not a final answer, and may actually be a default assumption. This page needs to remain accessible, in order to prevent what we were trying to avoid from the beginning -- grapevine confusion about which clip we're talking about, and/or a default assumption (for lack of a better explanation) regarding what the figure may be.

We have a list of questions for the crew. The first question is, "Do you know for certain what that figure is?" The question was worded this way for a purpose. It was anticipated that an off-the-cuff answer would be the first thing we'd get in response. That answer would not be based on a good inquiry, but rather upon assumptions transmitted back and forth by phone. Knowing for certain that it was a crew member ... means being able to identify the crew member. So in reply we have asked to speak directly with the crew member who was caught in this shot. Haven't heard back yet about that.

We've made good progress investigating this question (thanks to this page), but the question is not completely resolved at this point.
