i have a feeling the official twitter page made a mistake since it's skyrocket media owned. the new signup is a weylandindustries.com -complete with twitter/facebook/email registration process.

nice headway bitgamer.

i took apart the gif frame by frame to count more precisely how many black versus white there were without making an assumption whether the white(w) or black(b) colour were the dits or dahs. hopefuly this will help in deciphering in regards to the cadence. as a point of reference i also marked what frame number a few parts can be found for verification.

here they are:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
3 w, 4 b, 8 w, 1 b, 2 w, 3 b, 2 w, 8 b, 2 w, 2 b, 3 w, 5 b, 4 w, 1 b, 8 w, 2 b 56th frame, 3 w, 6 b, 8 w, 1 b, 2 w, 3 b, 2 w, 2 b, 3 w, 2 b, 3 w, 7 b, 2 w 100th frame, 6 b, 8 w, 1 b, 8 w, 1 b, 4 w, 1 b, 7 w, 7 b, 3 w, 2 b, 2 w, 1 b, 9 w, 6 b, 3 w, 1 b, 9 w, 2 b, 8 w, 1 b, 8 w, 6 b 200th frame, 2 w, 3 b, 2 w, 2 b, 3 w, 2 b, 2 w, 3 b, 2 w, 10 b

Deciphering now. I'll have an answer soon.

I think it is two words. The first:

ENTITY


I'm stumped on the rest. Hopefully that'll help someone more fluent in Morse than myself.

In the page source, it references two video files, presumably the faint animation of the spheres you can see in the background. There are two files, one mp4 and one ogg, but they are different.

I first assumed it was the same video, just in different formats for different systems, but the videos are actually different, the mp4 has some stutter and cuts out like a projector reel, and the ogg is smoother.

However I lack the knowhow to mess around with them and see if they mean anything.

Links are

https://www.weylandindustries.com/vid/spheres.ogg


Also, it doesn't actually seem to say this on the site, but it does in the page source, Weyland Industries are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the historic TED speech, which puts the date of the site, at least (and presumably the events of the movie) as 2073.

Plus, does anyone else think Guy Pierce looks a little old to be playing a 23 year old?

Thanks! It's not a trailer, though - let's just say it's the start of something bigger.

i decided to transcribe peter weyland's ted 2023 speech as a point of reference.

video:


YouTube: Link

(curiously, youtube says this video is unlisted and only those with a link can see it. the youtube user is the official prometheus movie "Prometheus6812".)

peter weyland's ted 2023 speech:


t.e. lawrence, eponymously of arabia but very much an english man, favoured pinching a burning match between his fingers to put it out.

when asked by his colleague, william potter, to reveal his trick: how is it he so effectively extinguished the flame without hurting himself whatsoever? lawrence just smiled and said, "the trick, potter, is not minding it hurts."

dramatic pause / beat

the fire that danced at the end of that match was a gift from the titan prometheus. a gift that he stole from the gods. when prometheus was caught and brought to justice for his theft, the gods - well you might say they overreact a little. the poor man was tied to a rock as an eagle ripped through his belly and ate his liver over and over, day after day, ad infinitum. all because he gave us fire - our first true piece of technology.

fire.

100,000 b.c. stone tools
4,000 b.c. the wheel
9th century a.d. gun powder. what a game changer that one!
19th century. eureka! the light bulb!
20th century. the automobile, television, nuclear weapons, space craft, internet.
21st century. biotech, nanotech, fusion and fission and m theory,

and that was just the first decade!

we are now three months into the year of our lord: 2023.
at this moment now - civilisation, we can create cybernetic individuals, who, in just a few short years, will be completely indistinguishable from us.

which leads to an obvious conclusion: we are the gods now.

dramatic pause / beat

for those of you who know me, you will be aware by now that my ambition is unlimited. you know that i will settle for nothing short of greatness, or i will die trying.

for those of you who do not yet know me, allow me to introduce myself.

my name is peter weyland, and if you'll indulge me, i'd like to change the world.

applause

edited change update: 'ad infinitum' in place of had him for an item

it's interesting to note that at one range of time, skyrocket media once owned weylandindustries.com:

http://www.who.is/domain_archive-com/weylandindustries.com/

it expired on 14 aug 2010 and was registered by fox's intellectual property department on 26 january 2011 - four months later.

back then, when skyrocket owned all the weyland domains, they forwarded to http://www.skyrocket.net/weyland
the server gave a 302 response & redirection to a dead 404/not found page at
http://www.skyrocketmedia.com/weyland


[speculation] -this point below are just educated guesses

weylandcorp et al domains were owned about or just after avp came out in 2004. the owner probably noticed no domain ownership and snagged it immediately.

the gap in time from expiration to acquisition from fox could be a clue to differentiating/separating skyrocket media llc from fox because:

1. sufficient time had passed where anybody could have purchased the domain after expiration.

2. fox didn't carry over the domain from the original owner. they didn't buy it from him nor does it appear to have been transferred. if they did buy it from him, one would think that weylandcorp.com / weylandcorporation.com / yutanicorp.com / yutanicorporation.com would have been of more interest or value in acquiring.

so, it's possible(not definitive) that while skyrocket is someone's webdesign service, they were holding on to the domains they were probably fans of and for the potential of a sale. weylandindustries.com was probably let go as the owner probably thought 'weylandcorporation.com' had more value to keep and wanted to save a few bucks in renewal. (best guess)


as was stated by others before -on this thread, twitter and other areas, if there's any viral or arg trail to be had at this time, it should logically appear from waylandindustries.com, the ted blog page or other known areas that are generally considered owned by fox (or the creators of the prometheus movie).

but, it also could be to our advantage to be somewhat aware of what's out there for potential oog gamejacks or even outside-the-box discoveries that might in some way be relevant to a viral arg.
