The first video that can be found below is a summary of the recent work to reproduce the photographs and films of Billy Meier. It's not called "Beamship..." to avoid issues in reproducing names and titles that may be copyrighted. Many of the clips have not been shown in any other video before and starts with the multiple ship type photographs presented as genuine to this day. The main issue with Billy Meier photographs is the camera he used to take them and is rarely brought up in discussions concerning his "evidence." Most of the pictures shown here were taken with a 1972 Olympus ECR rangefinder camera while others were taken with a 7 Megapixel digital camera. No extra effects were added after the event and what you see is what you get. At a certain distance from the fishing line, that's holding up the model, the line completely disappears to the camera and all that registers on the print is the model, looking like it's hovering in mid air.
There are several multiple ship shots to show how mundane it is to set up and how by moving around the arrangement of models you can create different backgrounds and hence different looking pictures without changing the models all the time. You can rope up to a single tree branch on one side of a field and have two lines coming from it to two different trees near each other on the other side of the field. That means you need 6 pieces of rope. 3 to pull up to branches and 3 more to pull them down again when you've finished. The main model Meier filmed, his "hubcap UFO", is usually seen with 2 smaller objects wobbling at different speeds as if supported vertically by a line. Suspending the models from tree branches directly is the other method of choice but the tree needs to have some height and the lower branches should be cleared to allow a clear shot and create the illusion of distance. The models are only 13" wide after all and quickly become small to the camera lens. In Meir's jump film He is filming from a position above his model and that is simply the landscape where he filmed it. I think it's suspended directly from a tree branch.
Not every film of Meier's is covered in this video since it's mainly designed to give an overview of the possibilities concerning any form of reproduction. That is what we're dealing with here. This work is the result of a challenge by Michael Horn for me to reproduce something from the Meier case or bow down so to speak. By doing that it upsets a lot of people who have an ingrained sense of the case as a reality - that Meier is in contact with aliens. But I hope this video serves as a nod to the fact that UFO footage the likes of which Meier created is an easily reproducible excercise. Once you know how to lie to the camera with false perspective it becomes child's play. A good model, some fishing line and a few ropes is all you need to start producing some of the best UFO pictures anyone can get.
The "Wedding Cake Ship" reproduction is shown at the end as a photo montage because there are no films of the WCUFO except one in a field with a tree and no movement. Meier zooms in with his optical zoom lens and if you want to reproduce that exactly you need the same type of camera as the one Meier used. Some of the pictures are digital but there are strictly no effects added after the event or before it for that matter. They are included because the digital camera registers light differently to a plastic 1980's Canon camera, that I was using to get the optical pictures. I didn't have Meier's Olympus camera at the time so had to use what was available. It just goes to show that you can create convincing UFO photographs and footage with very little effort that match those of the great Billy Meier himself.
