Glad to see I'm not the only one slipping in and out of here at work! Cool

 		I decided to pay attention to the backgrounds of Eva's 4 vids so far,

and in "Time to work..." The little picture in a frame behind her is in a different position on the wall. Also, it is the only movie where the red curtains are closed.

At first I thought you were onto something, but I'm afraid that will have to be debunked now. If you look carefully at the wall in the lighter pictures, you can see that it is not a full 90 degree corner. It has a face 90 degrees to the window, then the face pointing at the camera, and finally another face to the right of that which leads into the far wall.

Although it looks like the picture is in a different place when the curtains are shut, it is in fact in the same place when you look at the corner to the right of it. The only reason it looks different is because the corner to the left is shrouded in darkness and cannot be seen.

WOW! It's like one of those optical-illusion puzzle things. One person see's a rabbit, one person sees an old woman, and if you stare at it long enough, it turns into the other picture for you and it's like "AHH!". I see it now! thanks!

 		Well, this actually tells us one important thing, metawise--these videos are being shot in real-time. (They are not pre-recorded, as I had suspected after how much different Eva looked between video 1, video 2, and video 3.) This means that we definitely have the potential to impact the outcome of the game in a big way. Which is always nice to know. Smile

I also like the way that the letters are hand-written, and the email responses are extremely personalised and not just form responses. It makes for a totally immersive experience, which is what ARG's should always strive to be.

Weird people, weird emails!
I have two email accounts, the one I've given you in this blog which you've been using and another private one. But some one has found that address. I think a couple of you have all ready noticed a message left on my blog by a guy called Keir Jones. I know you warned me about him but I didn't really take any notice. I've checked out his web site and that page looks really weird. Anyway, now he's sending me emails to my private address and he's saying some pretty odd things. I want to get out of this flat! I wish I had some Ruby Slippers, then I could click my heels and be somewhere else! At the moment I can't even find my own smelly old slippers!


video indicates eva getting a little freaked by this,
apparently keir jones is claiming to be a detective and warning her to "be careful at SRI"

So I'm thinking SRI cannot be stanford as eva says it is her "college" - unless stanford have a lab in bristol of course Wink

EDIT: Just found the discussion of this in another thread, I would tend to agree that it would be more likely to be the now defunct Silsoe Research (They list food tech as one of their areas of research) place but...
how come Eva's mother Elaine (a writer) was working there?

same "The Prisoner" sign off line; "be seeing you"

just updating y'all, not struck by any inspiration as to what any of this means...
