Yeah, I think I see it now (even "eyes" fgsfds)
It looks more normal colored/pinkish now though, as opposed to pretty pale. And smaller. If I'm seeing the right thing, heh.

But it's pretty obscure, so I dunno.

I keep rewatching it, and I still think he looks headless.
Either that or it's super tiny.
Or the same white shade as the background.

ALSO.

What's with Tim's messed up shadow?

No, wait. I was gonna say something about light sources (since is looked like there was more than one shadow or something), but now I saw what you're talking about o:
That is.. certainly weird.

OK, so I'm pretty well convinced that SM can do two things: He can teleport around, and he's like a chameleon.

There's a term at the tip of my tongue. The idea behind it is something that blends in pretty well, but isn't invisible. Like, it's hard to look at. If you saw it, your eyes wold just skate over it, unless you're looking for it. When J did looked out the window and did a double take, I think it was a "What the hell is- nevermind, I was just imagining it" kind of thing.

This also adds credence to that whole thing in 12, where no one would have noticed SM except Alex, and no one had any idea what was going on.

Of course, this begs the question of how SM fell on Alex's radar. Alex pretty clearly doesn't react to his presence this whole time, and a business isn't exactly stealthy.

I don't think that's the word I'm looking for, but it'll do for now.

Camouflage? I have a feeling that's the word you're looking for.

Remember, SM has a disproportionately small head, so it would be harder to see than normal. But it's there.

Guys, listen to the clicking at :29. It wasn't just a one-time thing.

Tim's shadow seems to be just noise on the video, and J's "double-take" I would just read as a head jerk. He doesn't actually seem to be reacting to anything in particular.

However, I do think that slender man moved a bit. Watch closely, he turns very slightly at one point. God, I love that guy.

Iii don't know. From what I've gathered his head is somewhat "normal-sized", imo.
*shrug*
At least bigger than what I'm "seeing" as his head in this video.
(I even showed my friend, who hasn't watched MH, and he's like "that's just some vague, dark shapes" :( Didn't seem fazed at all by #1 either. Disappointment! he's the chicken of us two!)

I don't hear any clicking.. is it on one side only? Because my right speaker is borked :P
So might be that, because I cranked it up pretty much without hearing anything.

I do see him move though! Swaying, kinda shifting a bit.

As for the shadow thing.. I was thinking it was just noise, but seeing as the rest of the picture is pretty much flawless..

Mm, no, it's both right and left. I'll try to detach the audio clip, enhance, and post it if I can. Because I hear the clicking quite distinctly. Might be because I'm listening with earbuds.

Yeah, I always saw it as SM's head being pretty small. I dunno.

Ah, I heard it now when I took the speaker to my ear, somewhat faint (having two sources of sounds is probably an advantage too :P)
Which other video was this in?

We were analysing the same phenomenon in Addition just yesterday, actually.

I'm notoriously bad with sound editing programs, but I amplified a segment of this where the clicking can be heard for anyone else who may have trouble with it.

It's like digital camouflage, in reverse. Digi was made to be invisible to imaging software, but is easier to spot in person. Perhaps Slendy's natural transformation abilities don't effect electronics. He may have been in a tree-like form in real time, but shows up as himself on film.

And, this is just speculation, but a big reason why he'd want to go back to the house is if Entry 17 took place there.

Another thing: The guy who brings Tim his water... Is that J? It... It doesn't look like him at all. But I don't see how it could be Brian, since J was supposed to read his lines.

Reminds me of the ability in some of the Stephen King books, going Dim. You don't actually change shape, or form, you just don't stand out. You're a piece of the scenery.

Something is definitely up with Tim's shadow. And the audio/visual distortion is markedly different than usual this time. It looks like Tim's face gets taken out more than everything else.

Is it just me or do they seem to be on the second floor? The tree outside gives that impression, unless it's just a short tree and/or perspective.

Sounds like a bang, then a click. Maybe a cocking then firing of a gunshot, backwards? As in the shell casing from the house in #16?
