So I went and saw The Transformers tonight. (excellent, btw) Before the movie, there was this odd trailer. Fascinating, but odd. There was no mention of a title, and just a VERY fast flicker of a credits page. All the information that was released was "1-18-08". Naturally, I raced home and typed in "1-18-08.com" and sure enough, it looks like it might be linked. So, here's some info:

First, read this rundown, it's a good description of the trailer:
JJ Abrams article
(super wide URL hidden with a link, and /#comment-26691 removed from end of URL -- catherwood)

Then, check out the website I found:
http://1-18-08.com (note: the picture here looks very similar to the "feel" of the trailer)

I took the liberty of running a whois on the site. It was created back in March. Definitely sounds like a ramp-up for some viral marketing, or perhaps even an ARG! Smile Note the names in the whois information. Usually businesses will put their contact info here, or more likely, keep it anonymous. I'm wondering if the information displayed here might possibly be linked to more clues in the (possible) ARG. Whois link:
http://whois.domaintools.com/1-18-08.com

And some text from the whois, just in case:

What you all think??


edit - tweaked title - aliendial


You know, I find it pretty funny; the guy who started this thread hasn't posted a single word since. Do you think he's ever even stopped by to check up on this? Weird.

Oh, and I don't see anything upside-down... care to elaborate on that?



you know... that just might have been a puppet master. one post in all this time, interesting.

any arg experts care to comment on what that could mean, or at least if it's common? this forum is the most up to date, and well known for this sort of thing. maybe jj is watching us chase our own tails after all?


I wasn't implying that was the puppet master, rather, I just found it odd that they had never posted again. This thread was possibly just an afterthought they forgot about.

 		The Panasonic camera could be the right one, but the AVCHD logo is a trademark that's used on every HD video camera using the same technology developed jointly by Panasonic and Sony:

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

Quote:
Sony has released five AVCHD camcorders, the HDR-UX1, UX3/UX5, and UX7 (with recordable MiniDVD and xvYCC recording (xvYCC on UX3/UX5 and UX7 only), and the HDR-SR1 (with 30 GB hard disk) available since September and October 2006, respectively. In addition, Sony's HDR-SR5 (with 40 GB hard disk) and HDR-SR7 (with 60 GB hard disk) have been released on June 20, 2007. Sony's HDR-SR8(with 100GB hard disk) is also being released on July 2007.

Panasonic has released three AVCHD camcorders, the HDC-SD1 (with SDHC) and the HDC-DX1 (with recordable MiniDVD) and the AG-HSC1U (with portable 40 GB hard disk and SDHC).

Canon will be releasing the HR10 (with recordable MiniDVD), its first AVCHD camcorder, in August 2007.

Panasonic is also working on a professional version of AVCHD called AVC-Intra found on the AJ-HPX2000.

This is a REFERENCE post found at the top of this forum; if you'll examine it, you'll find an updated listing of everything that's been found/researched so far. You'll see that there are links to the front and back of each picture.

Hostility, particularly from a faceless guest is unnecessary. Please check out the new visitor stuff before posting.

I get that, I'm the one implying that it is the puppet master. lol. it is strange, and if this thread had been started on any other forum I'd agree it could be something the person forgot about, but THIS forum. i dunno, it seems less likely that someone could know about this forum, and forget all about something that that.

 		Haha, you're gonna like this one.
Just for fun I typed 'Robert Hawkins' into this machine
http://www.blogthings.com/whattarotcardareyouquiz/

The outcome:

You Are The High Priestess
You represent mystery - secrets that are yet to be revealed.
You find yourself sitting between two worlds: one dark, one light.
You tend to hold these two worlds in balance, reconciling the two.
Open and welcoming, you invite others to learn your secrets.

Your fortune:

Something hidden, or latent, in your life is about to come forward.
You need to pay more attention to your dreams, thoughts, intuition, and imagination.
And if that involves tapping into your dark side, it will all balance out in the end.
You have a lot of potential dying to be unleashed, so let those gates open!

 		On the Flickr page that's linked to Jamie's MySpace profile, one of the pictures (the "boombox in rear window" one) has digital camera specifications in the extra data at the bottom of the page.

Anyway, the date/time specified on the photo is 1/14/2003 (although the file is dated 7/18/2007).

an OOG photo masquerading as IG?

 		The boombox sticking out of the window reminds me of my college days. To add to that, this movie has a ton of alcohol in it, which in turn means that a lot of easily influenced UnFiction forum-goers are going to start drinking. There is nothing worse than drunk nerds arguing over nerdy stuff...

Except Cthulhu fans. In my three weeks of being on this board, I think Cthulhu fans are almost as obsessive as Star Trek/Star Wars fans, and just as annoying.

 		OK . . . so I went along the lines of the reading upside down thing and I was wondering why the second photo ( the one that says Love J) is in a diff handwriting than the first one.

Presumably they are written by the same person, Jamie Lascano.

Taking that photo and turning it upside down, you can start to make diff words out of it.

all I can tell so far is "i no(h) (too?) . . . ."

Maybe it's a red herring, but maybe someone can make sense out of it.

Took a look at it, and I do find it odd that they're different handwritings, but keep in mind one is just signed J which could easily mean someone else.

When I tried to read it upside down, couldn't make out anything, I honestly don't think it means anything (upside down).

Why do you think its odd? The one picture is a message from the girl jamie, and the party picture isn't from her, its from rob's brother... don't you get the line "dont forget who takes care of you" being in reference to him feeding rob a drink???
