 		....if who he worked for was worried..that means he hadn't contacted his job for a while.

when was the last eva heard from him?...couldn't be to long ago based on her blog saying she had a message from him. makes you kinda wonder what is going on...

this should be interesting....

 		Ok... Now I'm really glad I didn't post on her blog asking her how her date went. 0.0

Poor gal... She has a cute little crush, and it's... Ruined. :'(

And uh... The ending is kind of... Uh... Well, I think some theories have definitely been supported. Uh, just... Wow. Wow. Wow.

Finally... Bit disappointed by the quality of the actual video... The little blinky dots are rather distracting. I mean, the video itself is awesome, but... The little blinky dots are annoying. Uh, that's all. XD

So yeah... Basically I'm OMG-ing all over the place.

---

Also... Probably not significant, but the little 'Play' bar is different in this vid.

Hmmm...maybe it is? There is a lot of distortion and things in the video that is hard to pause on - it would be easier if it was done w/ the old play-bar along the bottom.

 		Did a bit of thinking... Perhaps the play bar is different to disguise how long the video actually is? Though, lollipop, you bring up a good point, too: It makes it harder to pause on things.

 		Awww!

She looks kind of cartoony at the end, and also too small--I think she's usually taller than that. Don't know if it's intentional, though.

 		Oh no - Keir dead!
I think the size thing is probably more to do with the fact they dont have a hollywood visit and have to superimpose her on top of the background to do the levitation...

Im not sure the distortion dots are not some sort of clue however - given every other blog is good quality.
Either its a clue, or it adds to the theory of electronics cutting out etc when Eva gets emotional?

 		Here's the transcript of the video:
Quote:
Eva: Keir, um, I've been waiting for you all afternoon and you've not turned up and I just.. I want to know you're alright. I heard the message and then there was nothing else and I left and then I've come home and I don't...I don't know what to do next so can you get in touch with me in some way or
Eva's computer dings, she looks down at it.
A female reporter's voice from computer: and was apparently agoraphobic he worked from home as an internet technician and was reportedly discovered by representatives of his employers who were concerned for his well being. The body of the man in his early twenties, now named as Keir Jones, was taken away before any press arrived.
Eva is crying. She replays the report.
...representatives of his employers who were concerned for his well being. The body of the man in his early twenties, now named as Keir Jones, was taken away before any press arrived.
Eva leaves the shot, the music starts, Eva walks back into the shot. She sways to the music, trying to comfort herself. and then levitates!

I'm not sure if Eva disappears at the end of the video (the music is still playing) or if it just loops back to the beginning of the video.
The poor quality of the video may be intentional, as Eva's emotional state seems to impact on electronics.
I wonder if there are any hidden images in the static parts of the video.

 		Hopefully someone who knows about videos can dissect this one and let us know if there are hidden clues or messages. I have a degree in graphic design..but print design...sadly not multimedia - otherwise i could be a lot more helpful!


...also this blog, like her last post, humanizes her even more. you really do start to care deeply for poor Eva.

 		I really want to help the poor girl Sad

Do we know how Keir communicated his warning message to her?

What happened today in Bristol? It might give some context...

 		Keir contacted Eva by having a message broadcast over the tannoy, the message he told her to listen out for in his mail to her.

 		a couple more.

Note: My pc died last Saturday and i haven't gotten around to reinstalling my image editing software yet. These are from Windows preinstalled software so the quality is not that good. Someone else should try to get something better if they can.

It's also the song that was playing in the Watershed as Eva arrived. Nice touch, huh?
