New pics

Well that's nice of them... Except they haven't given us all of the images, there are 2 missing (compare to here : http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=24033 ). One of the blue beret and another with the scientist setting up the experiment. The guy in the hat is different (no longer has creepy zombie behind him), and a few appear to be double exposed (as previously mentioned).

There are 3 new images which I believe are the previous B&W pics but with exposure damage (plus handprint weirdly). The odd thing about the last colour image is the bright object in the top centre - When you play with the settings this jumps out.

hi all, first post ! the last pic of the latest set ... turned anti clockwise looks decidedly like the alien ... and if you look closer still to the right you can make out (josh's?) face seemingly gasping in horror...

When I had suggested before about the pics being double exposed or even multiple exposures I was laughed off and haven't posted since, I definitely think that they are but I'm not a whizz with photoshop so I don't know how to clean them up. I hope you can give it a better go than I did!

Thanks for the compilation multipsychoapopheniosis.
I have also noticed a few other things about these photos.

The board picture seems to be different. He is either standing in a different position or the picture is from a different time? Maybe the blue jacket kid revisits it again. Still cant read anything even when i boost contrast and colors.

If you line up Image 6 (from page 1) and image 11 they seem to be taken at the same place, only the glass orb and spiral thingy are missing.

I am not really sure what to make of it, the photos just seemed to match up very well when i lined them up.

I think the board picture was stretched last time, so its in its true form now thats why it looks different.

You may be right about that image 11 being in the same place as 6

EDIT: Also that might be important, because if you're right, that means image 6 is upside down. just like 11

Here are the pictures, i increased the contrast and played around with it a bit these are what i got

Interestingly it looks like a person in the background

Well we know some of the photos are overlayed..

You can see Mr. Beret here on the left.




Also maybe we are just getting a more of a wide angle shot.. or rather the whole pic perspective. but fundamentaly the same.

But there does seem to be more..ehh somthign in the train wreckage shots...uhh maybe...have to mess with it..must be careful and utilize my strongest foil hat ..so I don't create too many smoke monsters.. Wink

Last pic. 03/11/11? March 11th 2011 is the release date for Battle: LA, and the full trailer for Super 8 is supposed to be realeased then. I guess it's confirmed now. Smile


I looked at the date as 11/11/30 (as in the date being printed on the other side of the film).

That leads to a google search with Hugh Everett's birthday.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Everett_III

Hugh Everett is known for a many worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum physics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation) that Abrams has used in Fringe and Star Trek.

@Jane

If you look at images 12 - 13 they blend into eachother
And i believe that one of these images is a coach or bus.

I can tweak the image to show you if you want

I see that they have train crash overlays and the progression of the fade effect into each other, that is basically what I was saying.

I do not think the "movie shots" have overlays is my point i think what we are seeing on those shots is the image of the camera glass.

I do "kinda" see the bus in 12 top corner but again not exactly Wink to me "its more of the same" untill we get clearer shots of these is that a bearded man...and bus shot.

heh.. hopefully soon before I am sitting in the theater wondering what happend to this ARG Drool

Jane

Yarrr... thar be smoke monsters thar ..get me spear

Do you see the front windows of a vehicle in 13? Thought I did but turn it round and it's some equipment in front of the army guy talking to the researcher. The picture is cropped further down now so we see more.

Ya know, I havent a friggin clue as to what these pictures mean or what we are supposed to get from them or what..
I have a hunch that the 03/11/11 tag is telling us to make sure and examine the next trailer to find where to put all these things as well as hopefully get the missing bits we need to connect all these dots up..Thats why they put the date on the side of the film strip..

How this all ties into Rocket Pops and mental institutions and Coelacanths and PDP11's with Mystery Man I have no idea.. but I sure hope something happens soon cuz its been 10 months of weird clues that lead nowhere..

Yep, if there's something we're supposed to be getting out of all this - I'm sure not getting it – and it's not for lack of trying.

I asked in a post months ago how this ARG (my first) compared with previous ones such as Cloverfield.

I decried at the time that the pacing seemed slow, and was just not consistent.

This can be likened to stop and go traffic on the Ventura freeway in So Cal (nearly anytime of the day). You go along for awhile and it looks like smooth sailing, and then it's bumper to bumper, sitting, or worse, zipping along at less than 3 mph for what seems like hours. Confused

This is also like a purposefully contaminated crime scene, where there is no lack of clues, the bulk having been placed there by the perps--cigarette butts and strands of hair collected from various places and scattered about.

Do you think that the same ones that put out the Cloverfield viral are the same ones as we're dealing with here? Rolling Eyes
