The 7 month gap is already gone. No one looking at the videos in a list is going to see that that happened. The upload marker on the list says "3 years ago" or whatever, not "3 years and 7 months ago."

They can see it if they look at the date the video was uploaded on the actual video page, but if they're like me, and several of my friends, they're downloading the videos en masse and watching them without Youtube fucking around.

I didn't even know there was a 7 month gap until it was mentioned in the video, and I ran through the entire series (at that point up to 43) in a week.

So, the gap was a nice realistic touch for everyone who had been live watching, but if you watch the series now, the chances of you even noticing it are pretty slim if at all.

But still, Jay kept mentioning it, and people could look and see Holy shit they waited 7 months?

If they reupload maybe they should have the IG upload date displayed somewhere at the start of each video, thus both preserving some of that effect for all viewers and also giving a chance to clarify what the IG timeline for later episodes is supposed to be.

Also Troy blogged for the first time in forever: http://jtroyw.blogspot.com/2014/08/time-to-mosey-on.html

Kickstarter update 17:

Quote:
Hey backers!

We're getting close to our original estimated delivery date for the Season 3 DVDs, but it's looking like we're going to need a little extra time to get it all put together and looking as good as it can. This isn't too big of a surprise for us, as the initial estimate was a bit overzealous since we had to remaster Season 1, reassemble Season 2, and create Season 3 from scratch. Tim is working around the clock to get it all done, but rushing it isn't something we want to do.

Luckily, most of the Season 3 special features have been edited already, with the exception of the scenes from Alex Kralie's Marble Hornets. We've gotten a portion of it done, but we're finishing up shooting those this weekend.



In better news, we're going to be sending out surveys shortly for all non-physical rewards. If you pledged $100, $200, $500, or $1500, you'll be getting these on your kickstarter account within the next week or so. Keep an eye out!

More updates coming soon <3

-Troy, Joseph, and Tim


Is that Jessica next to Tim? Because last I check she wasn't part of Alex's movie

They said Jessica had moved to New York, so probably not.

My guess is that's either Sarah, or the replacement for her, since the first actress isn't really available anymore.

Let me say that again:

last I check she wasn't part of ALEX'S movie

I'm not talking about the ARG Marble Hornets, I'm talking about IG Marble Hornets, the one shot in 2006? Jessica become involved because she was roommates with Amy, not because she was a cast member. Whatever Jessica is doing OOG is irrelevant. Though the longer I look at it the image more it looks like Sarah, which it likely is, she's wearing the same clothes.

Dude, everyone understood what you said just fine. What she's doing OOG is relevant because that can't be Jessica in the image if she's not available to them, regardless of whether there could be IG reasoning for her being there. And also it's Sarah. Also Jessica was Amy's roommate, not Sarah's.

Also Medusa, I don't recall Sarah's actress not being available to them anymore? I thought the reason she never reappeared was just because she's not important. She was still available when they made the IG trailer for the S2 DVD.

lolwhoops, got my names mixed around there. And no it isn't relevant because THAC don't need her for what they're currently shooting. IG Jessica was in no way involved with the production of Alex's movie so there's no reason for her to be in any of the footage, so it doesn't matter what she's doing OOG because she doesn't need to be in this.

But going on what you said to Medusa is interesting because if Sarah was available to film with them, why didn't they wrap her character in one video like Jessica, I know she wasn't as important but if we had an ark scene like Entry 65 we could have at least seen confirmation of her death. She was the only actor from the original movie who never reappeared in Season 3

Okay. The story I've seen repeated here and everywhere else that discusses Marble Hornets is that the reason Sarah was never shown again is because she moved too far away for it to be feasible for her to come back and film. So, if she couldn't come back to film a death scene (or rather, and ambiguous scene that could be either a death, or something altogether different Rolling Eyes ) I doubt she'd be in their shoot of "Alex Kralie's Marble Hornets".

Actually, the same was said of Seth, although he obviously got back at least once.

Seth is the one that I heard moved away. And Jessica. And Amy. But I never ever ever heard that about Sarah. Honestly I think you people have a tendency to play telephone with your OOG quotes on accident. They said Seth had moved away, and that he was added in because he was Sarah's boyfriend so he happened to be there. But yeah he clearly came back at least once.

Sarah is in what is clearly new footage. This post was about them just beginning to film Alex Kralie's Marble Hornets, if this was back from Entry #9 it wouldn't be here, or really very relevant. Plus they're in a totally different location. Plus they were clearly able to at least get her back for some of the Alex Kralie's Marble Hornets trailer. And they said they only started filming like now. Yeah, this is new footage.

I don't know why Sarah didn't have a wrap-up appearance "like Jessica" (Except she turned out to be alive, and so did Brian, so really more like...well Seth is the only character like that) but I do remember them saying in the Reddit AMA that ideally they'd show the fates of all the characters, but they needed to have a good reason for a character to be filming.

In 22, Seth is the cameraman, so he just kinda is filming. That seems to be his own thing, Alex doesn't tell him to stop because he doesn't want it to seem suspicious. Then he kills him off camera and lies at the end of the tape to cover his ass.

With Brian and Tim he's filming because he's pretending to scene scout. He attacks Tim, but he actually puts the camera down before doing so. It's possible that this was a tape that Alex originally gave to Jay, and that Jay just didn't notice anything weird because he turned the camera off. Tim had a camera, but once again, he was doing behind the scenes stuff. That's his own thing, there's a reason.

In 51 he's pretending to scene scout to get Brian, and then presumably that Operator appearance isn't totally planned, or at least not specifically timeable on Alex's part. It's possible Alex was planning on attacking Brian himself. Regardless the Operator interrupts and then Brian gets the camera, and then the Operator knocks him out, and Alex just kinda drags him off, and then he turns off the camera. And he hides the tape separately.

They could have had something with Sarah like what they did with Brian, but I think the thing with Brian is that it would only make sense for him to be filming if Alex didn't actually murder him at any point. The Operator comes in instead. In other words, Brian's necessary survival to become Hoody is what excuses that. There's less plausibility with Sarah, because Alex is implied to straight up murder her.

With Sarah's death... it's also plausible, even if it's convenient, that IG whatever may have shown on tape was on one of those tapes found in the distortion hole that was burned beyond salvaging. Personally, I think that convenience aside, they could have had some little fragment of tape out there that suggested something of Sarah's disappearance, even if the death or TO abduction was never shown. Season 1 of course had Entry #9 at the gazebo and then that wonderful, mysterious Entry #22 that was hidden for Jay to find. Seasons 2 and 3 had new found footage including fragments of things either from 2006 or from the seven month period before Jay woke up in the hotel with the chest cam strapped to him, AND they could get Sarah back for that "Alex Kralie's Marble Hornets" trailer (even if it's not "canon," lol). They coulda come up with something.

I'd wondered whether the blood and the bullet casing from Entry #16 had been from Sarah's death--but that blood wouldn't have been that red, likely, three years after.

I have to admit that I don't remember everything they'd said in the Reddit AMA, though I swear I read Troy being quoted in an interview that the problem with the found footage genre in general is that there needs to be a convincing reason for any character to be filming. It seems that Sarah was never a cameraperson in any of the MH footage; it's still possible that Alex could have set the camera down somewhere and left it running when Sarah was offed, even if the lens wasn't on the act of offing her.
