Well I didn't go through every point he made... but I did look at some of his still "evidence". His idea regarding the shadow length of the two astronauts (that one was too long and the other too short) is compete bunk. He's assuming the ground is perfectly flat (it isn't), and in the presence of slope lot's of optical illusions can appear in how the shadows throw. He appears to base a lot of his "shadow" theories on a simple lack of understanding of how shadows throw on nonuniform surfaces... it doesn't give me a warm feeling about the guys credibility.

The movement of shadows in all the motion footage is completely consistant with the guys walking on an uneven surface.
