/u/mmhernley found some morse code in the first tv spot video.

It translates to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

THE BLOOD-DIMMED TIDE IS LOOSED

Which is another line from the poem The Second Coming. Also, two books exist with that title.

When the scene changes there is a single frame again that shows the following morse code:

Translates to FOLLOW THE LONG LINE OF VACANT SHORE - MEET US THERE.


That line is from the poem "The Tides" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This article ( https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2015/sep/21/poem-of-the-week-the-tides-by-henry-wadsworth-longfellow ) from The Guardian explains the poem a bit.

I'm currently looking at the fourth vid (product lottery announcement), and I'm noticing that in the introduction, there's often a single frame with the Spectacular Organic logo sqeezed in amongst the other frames. No gradual shift or anything, just vid-logo-vid. And it happens a lot.

When I've got some time I'll look at the frequency of these logo frames, perhaps their (time-based) position in the vid itself is another morse code sequence.


Disregard that, mistake on my end.

Joined this forum just to post my own (meager) findings. Got an email after I submitted my questionnaire:

"Dear my name here

Congratulations!

You're been deemed in the upper quartile, and thus, eligible to receive our product.

But, there's more.

We have entered your name, along with other eligible applicants, in our first ever PRODUCT LOTTERY! The application period will last through Monday, August 29th. This date celebrates a groundbreaking discovery in the synthesis of Meitnerium - a HUGE part of why we exist today!

Here at Spectacular Organic, we are paving a conquest. A conquest of the mind, body, and spirit. For everyone.

But only with the help of our absolutely divine GM Juice™!

We will keep in touch and send your LOTTERY RESULTS promptly on AUGUST 29TH!

YOUR NUMBER IS: my lottery number here

Just thought I'd post that since I hadn't seen anyone else post about it. I can't wait to see more of this at it develops tbh. I'm glad they're still coming out with more videos, I'd hate to be kept in the dark until late August.

New video, 6th one by now and the 3rd TV spot:
https://youtu.be/eKalVikt47o

I've dumped the frames and been through them one by one, but nothing. I may have missed it.

I've also looked at the audio and found this morse message (at 550Hz again, as previously):


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
LA MORTE DEL CERVO

"La morte del cervo"
appears to be a poem by Gabriele D'Annunzio, published in a collection called [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halcyon_(book)] Halcyon [url]. Sadly, an English translation doesn't appear to be available online.

Felt like there was something right before the logo, so went frame by frame and inverted the colors:

put the morse into a translator. reads:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1,2,3. Initiation is complete.


This gets more and more interesting.

I love this text at the end. "You must have our breakfast each day of your stay" and "we will always be dedicated to our cause." Not sure I want to win the lottery any more.

The company tweeted out they will be doing maintenance on their channels from 12-2AM EST time tonight, and that anything uploaded to the channel will only be on there temporarily. Prime time to upload a lot of clues I think.

I also created an account on this forum after finding this on r/ARG, so in case others here haven't seen developments made by the reddit community, you can find them here:

I saw that somebody got the first two maintenance uploads in the subreddit, but did anyone happen to rip the third one?
