it is a cool series

I found this series looking through youtube search. So far, there is 3 videos.
I think this series is interesting and is a good watch. Very Happy

 		Re: new series foundthetapes

I watched all 3 entries that are currently out. No offense, but this series isn't really good so far. It has a tired storyline, it has tired distortion and they used a tired symbol. These elements are tired from over use. It is that lack of originality that makes this kinda tedious to sit through :/ It is early and I have seen series turn around. Because of that I will keep an eye out to see if things change.

 		Am I sensing another self-plug? I haven't watched that much of it, but I did skim through the videos. To... many... ellipses.. even after punctuation!... As well as a lot of typos. If the uploader is eighteen, typos that are as frequent as that are inexcusable.

 		If you can work out the bugs of the series, it's decent. The creator will improve as he goes. One of my friends private messaged him and got a decent response.

Trust me, if they work out their bugs and produce something decent then I will be the first here to nod my approval.

I am not the creator dude.
Here is the private message my friend sent. Reply is after every question.
1. Does the box have symbols or text on it?
Reply: The only thing on the box was 'tapes".
2. Was the tapes labeled?
Reply: The tapes had labels on them.
3. Was any of the tapes damaged beyond repair.
Reply: Yeah, a few heavily distorted ones.
4. Have you contacted the previous owners of the house?
Reply: I couldn't contact them.
That was all of the p.m consisted of.
Everyone said the same crap about tribetwelve when it came out.
Look how how it improved.
I think Foundthetapes will improve soon.

 		It's certainly not breaking any new ground, but it's acceptable, and the acting doesn't make me hide my face in sympathy-shame, so that's always a plus.

I don't like how they handle distortion. I think Marble Hornets does that best. I've always thought of it as Slendy being so wrong, so intrinsically out of place, that capturing him on film makes the camera shit the bed.
That results in tearing, lack of focus, static and such. Simple, realistic stuff, not fun effects like zig-zags and color inverting and stuff like so many other series do.

I'm not gonna dock a ton of points for that though, cause like I said, series that keep the distortion simple are few and far between, it's a really common thing, so oh well.

Point is, it's decent. Nothing to really grab my attention, but nothing to keep me from watching either.

Yeah, I think the creator is new to his editing software.
It took me about a month to get used to mine.
On a second note, I forgot to add the twitter page.
