Why isn't Jay controlled?

maybe jay wasn't an original target of sorts. notice in the video with tim acting and slenderman in the window, that jay seems to be the most unaffected by that time. everyone else was possibly kinda with alex in their own worlds, just alex was the only one filming (thanks!)

juss sayin'.

DAMN YOU, WHYYOUBAWWING!!! I knew it was you!


Couldn't you tell by the bracelet he was wearing? (Or was that just some grass stuck in his talons?)

On-topic: I WAS going to watch this again to frame-by-frame the distortions for clues, but now I'm too scared. Someone else be brave for me and post your results! I feel like this "new" kind of distortion means something.


I feel like EVERY entry has a new distortion...


Not exactly. Some of the "tricks" used to create the editing seem to be the same. The "visual tearing" where the frame splits between two different points is created using the same effect. I know it's kinds of an OOG way to look at at it, but still... Usually it's either sound distortion or a bit of image distortion but this super-contrasted distortion is much like TTA entries (as has been previously mentioned I'm sure) and it seems more like the video has been "eaten" away in places by heat moreso than any kind of "psychic" intervention. Now, because this is all shot digitally that makes no sense but in reel-type movies heat eats through the film and melts and distorts it in a fashion much like that.

Also, did anyone else notice the extreme lack of focus during the whole thing? Cameras kept going in and out of focus. I don't recall this being such an issue in previous entries. Maybe happenstance, maybe purposeful.

Still. You'd think from all the attention he's getting from TTA he'd be an important player.
Maybe because of his "immunity" to Slenderman, he's important?

No really on topic: Jay's tweet about keeping straight hard drive footage and camera footage is stuck in my brain. I tell myself it's probably just a minor mid-editing complaint, but my brain says, "Remember this!"


Hm I like where you are going with this...I mean editing seems the most likely but I think that maybe he's having a tough time with the chronology like we are? Just I don't know what that could mean...


Maybe it refers to how the beginning of the video was from Jay's own camera and the second part was from Alex's chestcam, which the video from it is stored on the hard drive...


I think that's how the video was intended. But the fact that Jay is the editor and is unreliable could mean that the footage is out of order or something... i dunno... losing energy...

In my opinion, there hasn't been a pattern to distortion. I welcome anyone who has proof otherwise, but that's always been in my mind. Even when the first few entries had the same "split", in later entries this is lost in favor of not visual tearing, but static, discoloring, and even something similar to what we saw in this Entry before he enters the forest.

Also, the audio varies. We hear all sorts of different sounds ranging from static, distorted speech, beeping, buzzing, crackling, hissing, etc...

The focus thing? It happened once when one character came into view, I think. I remember it before, just can't recall it now.

Well when The Operator has been fairly active he produces that wildly colored distortion. The visual tear to me signifies teleportation and nothing else...as to the static I think that maybe they started that as a slendy influenced distortion(ie Jessica and Tim and TTA) as basically a lesser form of it.
The sounds I have no clue on...occasionally The Operator seems to roar but that might just be distortion but there really isn't much consistency.

So yeah honestly I think it might just be the creators changing things up even if it doesn't mesh up with last season oh so well..

I'm wondering if the tapes tell one story where the hard drive tells another. What if some videos on the hard drive were planted to lead Jay down the wrong road? I have no idea why though...

I don't think there's a pattern TO the distortion, just to the distortion effects used. You only have so many filters to work with. Again, this is sort of an OOG way to look at it.

Also, what was going on with Alex and the quick pan down to his knee after he enters the more open point of the woods. He moves some sticks out of the way, yes, but he like -- itches his knee or something. I thought it sort of a silly thing to do given the circumstances, especially when on the direct pan up there was no Slendy to make it make sense.

I also think in some ways this video makes Slendy less scary to me -- he's too visible for too long and you see him too many times directly, face on. He's scarier when you THINK you see him -- like I THINK I do when J is looking across the driver's seat of the car toward Alex, before Alex goes to knock on the door.

(Also, hello -- why would he knock on the door of an apartment he was living in? Shouldn't he have keys? I don't think he lives with Amy and Jessica.)
