 		I just saw the video and got caught up with this thread. I'm definitely in, the video peaked my interest and if there is any puzzles that need binary solving, which I think there will be, I can help.

Probably not. If the last word is "eerie" then 23341 would be err41... I don't think this matches any English words.

Area Code: 706
Prefix: 923
Location: EATONTON, GA

or someone who just wants to be one of those famous viral video people.... look at the keyword spam list she's got going!
EDIT TO ADD - although it is very well done. prob an ad camp of some sort if it is a game. i need a new game, and the video is neat, but i am so turned off by the spam list.
That's one way of looking at it, but I think that list of keywords could also be considered a reasonable in-character action. This girl is supposed to be a hacker trying to spread her message...using a spam list would be a good way to get more views for the video.

 		Just for fun, I took a transcript of the video for our records.

Lis- Listen, you've gotta listen. My signal's already traced. I'm being hunted by an agency that doesn't exist--shouldn't exist. They're relentless, like animals! Please, I've got no time; less than three minutes.

[graphic: possibly soldiers?, "EMBEDDED TRANSMISSION"][graphic: "SIGNAL LOCK"]

[graphic: female face]
Just over a year and a half ago, [graphic: "//SAT ---" ("CLUSTER"? This is unclear)] a team of the world's most brilliant hackers began intercepting increased flash[sic] traffic,

The installation was so secure, it was just too tempting to ignore. It took a worldwide effort to crack.

[graphic: "ACQUIRING SIGNAL"][graphic: "SIGNAL LOCK"]

[graphic: female face]
We were so arrogant: the elite, untraceable and invisible! We honestly thought that nothing could stop us, and over the months we gained access, and discovered the truth. The truth behind their secrets.

[graphic: "ACQUIRING SIGNAL"]

[graphic: female face]
It was then that we knew. They could never let us live.

[graphic: "TRACKING"]

[graphic:female face, photos, "PLANE CRASH\GUNSHOT WOUND\GUNSHOT WOUND\SUICIDE\CAR ACCIDENT\BURN VICTIM\SUICIDE\GUNSHOT WOUND\DROWNED\CAR ACCIDENT\DRUG OVERDOSE\---WOU---" (backslashes indicate line break; continues scrolling to next graphic)]
There were fourteen of us in the beginning, and now I'm the last. I can't let them win! I won't. Not until you all know the truth.

The installation.

It's called the stack.

[cuts in]-supercomputer--it's not the word! This thing: it's alive, it's growing fast, and worst of all they trust it. But, beyond that: inside it's brain, they hid this library, this vast library of secrets. It is the largest repository of secrets in the world!

[klaxons][graphic: SWAT team in stairwell, "HUGHES TOWER 7\---"]

[graphic: female face]
They've found my signal.

[klaxons][graphic: SWAT team in stairwell, hallway, "HUGHES TOWER 7\---"]

[graphic: female face]
As a caution[sic], I've set myself up in a safe location, and for the past year I've been recording a video diary.

[graphic:"ACQUIRING SIGNAL"][graphic:"TRACKING]

[graphic: female face]
You must face these binary revelations. We've all heard the lame excuses, the cover-ups about the unexplained or the unbelievable. Well, soon it will be undeniable. We found video evidence.

[klaxons][graphic: SWAT team in hallway, "HUGHES TOWER 7\23:10:0#:##"]

[graphic: female face]
I don't have much more time before I lose the seed signal. Keep your phone active and war-drive[sic] this transmission around the world. The more of you that know, the better. This is our last chance.[graphic: "//--- ---" ("ARTILLERY"? This is unclear)] They do not have the right to play with our very existence. They betrayed us all with their net of lies!

[graphic: "TRACKING"]

[graphic: female face]
Soon I'll have another transmission window, and then you'll understand. Just wait, and watch for my signal.

[graphic: "ACQUIRING SIGNAL"][graphic: "TRACKING"]

[graphic: female face]
Knowledge is power, and the ultimate power is truth.

[gunshots][graphic: SWAT team breaks door, fires on computer in empty room, "HUGHES TOWER 7\23:15:0#:##"]

This is hacksaw: now we're watching them!

 		Hmm. There is a Hughes (radio) Tower in Washington DC.
That last 2 looks different from the others. Maybe a "?" ?
