It looks like those silly things you get when you have a star named after you (all the rage in the 70's/80's).....looks official but factory made/canned...........my wife has one of those from when she was a wee child.........that was my first thought anyways

Video Trailer With Characters and MySpace Pages Identified
This is a video I created to help fuse all of this together..

Hi Everyone,

I created this video which takes the trailer and identifies characters within it that have MySpace pages, and features Jamie Lascano.

See:

I get the impression that the other person Jamie speaks to in the video is the one that helps her with such technological things. Why else is she telling her "I'm done"? It may very well be that the webcam and the computer used are the other person's. That might explain trying to use a button on the camera to turn it on and off. Clearly the cam is on before she fidgets with it, and doesn't turn off when she does the same thing again. Most webcams are operated in a software UI, and if they have a button it's usually for a snapshot, which just extracts a frame from the video (usually as a JPEG).

As to all the theorizing about the last bit being an intentional joke or such, I've seen several times where people rush to generate a video, upload it (like some vlogs) and never actually watch the result as it was uploaded online. Jamie therefore might not know her video ended that way. If as I speculated above her friend is helping her, the lens cap open and close would be the quick markers to crop the footage, and it being intended as a private message if she was showing respect for that she wouldn't edit and censor the content herself.
I also don't hear in the video any definitive evidence that her roommate is Lena, she mentions talking to her but doesn't refer to the roommate by name when she speaks to her later in the video. There are some implications, but nothing absolute.

I agree. It' as if they tried to get you to think she made an error. What I wondered is if that was an implication of more videos to come. It certainly keeps the person interested and getting mindlessly deeper into the whole deal.

Cool video. That girl at the end might be Jamie - good eye.

On a different topic - this is a long-shot, but...

A while back, people were trying to find a sign-language message from the Slusho Store page. Nobody ever found anything, except for a possible message involving the word "love", e.g., "i love you." This was quickly dismissed. I don't know sign-language, so I can't check this myself, but is it possible that the password for this video - "jllovesth" - is what's being signed on the Slusho Store page? Just a thought.

I was just looking at the calendar and noted that we've not seen a new video from that site and it's a half a month since the last one. She said she was sure there would be many more to come, and the serial numbering of the video implies that there are in fact more to be made (who numbers serially numbers something they only expect to make one of?). This must be a fairly long trip for Teddy.

Another thing I noticed in going back over some things in the thread is how we were so suddenly and easily handed a password. The poster that did it has only posted just the once and has basically no details on their profile.
Have we been joined here by the puppetmasters?

If it was the PM's, why would they hand us the password so quickly? Why not let us agonize a bit about it first and when it looks like people are giving up on the site, THEN feed the password.

Also, I watched the vid. again and when Jamie refers to Lena, she glances quite purposefully in the direction of the other room, i.e., she's saying "Lena" and nodding off-camera at the same time. Watch it again and you'll see what I mean - I think it's definitely Marlena in the next room.

And, Jamie clearly doesn't know how to work the camera. Probably not good with computers generally. So, I agree w/the suggestion that someone else is helping her make this video (probably Marlena). If Jamie and Marlena live together, then it would be a safe bet that Jamie is using Marlena's computer to record her video, which would make that Marlena's bedroom.

I understand being a bit suspicious, but this password wasn't that hard to figure out. As you probably know, puppetmasters posting about their games on unfiction violate the TOS, which I think they are unlikely to do. (if they wanted to leak it, there are about a hundred other places they could have done so.) So for those reasons, I take this as an answer from a player.

And thank you to Crazyover11808 for sharing it.

We have some very intelligent members here and I agree that the password was simple enough for people to figure out. However I also believe that is possible for someone to have posted it here for us. It took a while for someone to find the jamieandteddy site so it may be possible that they are on a time line with the information we need to find. So someone may have nudged us along with the password.

If the "puppetmasters" did leak the password in here do you think they would really care about the TOS? Probably not.

Well if this isn't the archetypal ARG and more of a guerilla marketing 'experience' as many argue, they wouldn't follow such 'rules'. We've been frothing over a need for more info, and we are what's driving a great deal of the hype leading up to this movie. I can see where they'd feed us that info to be sure the video was in our hands in a timely enough manner to appease our desires for more and hence put a new surge of hype out there. (This is also a good response to rose's post, and I suspect the marketers of something like this movie wouldn't take much heed of this site's ToS - especially if it can be claimed it's NOT an ARG.)

Those are the implications I speak of, and yes they are very strong. I am just saying we haven't had a perfectly conclusive indication. There is wiggle room for the producers if they choose to use it.

It could be Jamie's room, even if it's Lena's (or whatever roommate's) computer - it could easily be a laptop. Jamie could certainly own her own computer, and not know how to full use it - I've been using, building, and repairing my own computers for years and I still learn new things about them all the time. The webcam is actually more likely to not be Jamie's. I think the setting is intentionally contextual to the intended viewer (Teddy). Why else sit there in a nightie on a bed to make a video? I think their last night together she speaks of was right there, on that bed.

Here's a screen shot from the trailer. Looks like Jamie to me, and the guy with her looks like HUD.

I'm interested to know if there IS some place the the password can be found. You would think that it might still be hidden somewhere, and we weren't meant to just guess it.

In the Lost Experience ARG, people would often hack the Flash code to get a password when new stuff appeared, but there was always a "legitimate" way to find the password as well.

you know that post from Crazyover11808 is suspect.....if you read it, it gives the password as JLlovesTH and mentions doesn't know if it is case sensitive...it is actually in that upper case doesn't work.....if I were giving you a password I'd give you what I put in and what worked......I don't think I'd go through the trouble of putting caps at the beginning and end unless for emphasis sake.....

Perhaps Jamie is kinda computer incompetent and used Lena's cam/computer to make the video. Maybe she asked Lena after to just edit out the last bit about the bladder infection for her. Maybe then Lena, out of curiousity watched the entire video and was offended by Jamie implying that Lena is insensitive or gives bad relationship advice or whatever and "forgot" to edit out the embarrassing bit as a result- it sounds like Lena wants Jamie to move on from Teddy (maybe Lena didn't like him?) and is trying to sabotage the relationship?? Anyways, if that were the case I'm sure she would address it in the next vid, so we'll (hopefully) find out soon. Jamie could also just be that kind of girl, who says whatever pops into her head whenever and just doesn't care.
