The Monster is green. That is not.

And, during the glimpse we would've seen those white feeler things at the end of its tail. We don't.

Now might be a good time to bring this video back.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLs9MDdz_dg

Also, the ENTIRE VIDEO is greenish at that point. Hell, with your logic you could argue this is not in NYC, because the buildings in NYC are usually grey while these look greenish-yellow.

Gah, you can't go pulling out videos with sounds like that in the middle of the night.... that woke me up.

Regardless of how green it is, the shade of green barely deviates. Greenish-brown followed by greenish-white would not be unnoticeable, even if they were both completely green, in which case it would be dark green followed by light green.

I really hate this picture... I mean, why even have CGI? it just looks like someone turned Godzilla inside out and gave it some cricket legs and called it a day... Not very creative.

Also, in the visuals we've seen of our monster- there were arms. If the visual were just its tail- there would be no arms.

what's more- If the visual of what we saw was just its tail, it would easily peak over the skyscrapers and be 10 times taller than the buildings.

Therefore- this monster isn't our monster.

I am sure you saw what you say you saw. However, I was never able to distinguish any particular body parts on the image of the monster from the trailer.

No matter how many times I watch it in super slo-mo, I just dont see where people get such certainty from. If I try to find similarities of any given animal, I can associate certain attributes to it. Other than that, watching it open-minded I see nothing like arms or legs.

I think more and more that the OP was full of shit, but I won't assume I am 100% on the subject, because I don't know anything about the monster, and neither (afaik) can any of you unless you work for Bad Robot.

I work for Bad Robot...

okay that was a lie, but still... there is apendage movement. Its all about perception and having a detailed eye.

first observation: There is a mass moving in one direction

second observation: There are parts of the mass that don't move in the same motion as the mass

third observation: these parts protrude from the body

from these three observations we deduct that they must be apendages of some sort. The majority of the viewers distinctly see what looks like a joint in the middle of the apendage, giving them the assumption that it has legs/arms.

While I can sorta see the suction-cup type appendages along its body in the movie slow motion loop, the hind legs look almost digigrade, a trade this picture lacks. In any case, it looks a lot more flat-footed

This may have previously been brought up, but he's also much more forward leaning than straight up. The belly bulges forward from the legs while the back arches up, giving the impression of an egg-shaped, round segment with a narrower connection point at the "hips" (I can't help it, the hind legs in the looped video I'm watching look like a dude in a suit). The shell in the picture posted just doesn't match up to how it appears in the zoomed movie clip.

(ref: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY4-drOE38s )

Also, I'm wondering if it really is bipedal (multiple legs, yes, but I mean ones that actually come in contact with the ground every time it walks), as the forward leaning would be hard to support from a physics standpoint (I'm probably thinking too logical here). The torso looks too long to support itself, but it's entirely possible the "front" legs are just out of frame.

And on the 15th+ runthrough, I'm wondering if these legs are more like those of a giant centipede with many segments (or like a crab, pick your poison).

I don't think this artwork is anything but fan work. (And if I'm proven wrong, I will be a sad, sad monkey, because that is a crappy monster, imo)

Its FAKE

1. The FONT of Cloverfield

2. the DATE....

THEY put 1.18.08 but in the posters its 01.18.08.....

Two major flaws......

whoever did this not only did their research, but did a damn good job of drawing it. That's one of the things I pointed out in my first analysis of it, it's TOO perfect. There's no way we could have been correct on every single point of spec.

I suspect if we dig deeply enough, we'll find that part, or all of this is actually graphics lifted from elsewhere. I do a fair bit of this 'remixed' graphical work myself in Photoshop, and if you use quality original media and quality methods it will look like an original work. It is not truly original art in the sense that it is not fabricated from nothing, even though the result may be a totally new and unique image. Because it's possible to lift such images and combine them into something that appears new, don't assume someone that it really is an original creation.


Only problem I have with this, the ENTIRE THING is drawn in the exact same style. It would take a HELL of a lot of time to combine things and make them all look the same.
I'm no stranger to photoshop myself either.

It's not that difficult. I am a graphic designer and i agree with euchre, it is simply a number of elements combined and then redrawn in Illustrator. This style has been done numerous times.
I have seen several design guides and i highly doubt that any of them would have a graphic representation of the monster on the front when the movie isn't done in this style. That being said, the design guide DEFINITELY wouldn't fubar the logo of the movie.
Although it looks real, i gotta say OOG on this one.

Even without the knowledge of graphic design, common sense could have told us that this was obviously OOG.

From point A [July] to point B [December/now] have they ever shown a drawing or sketches in their ARG? I can almost say that any so called "Leaks" that exist were of their design. Everything about this artwork goes against the flow of the promotion/ARG. Any information that has been given has been in the game/promotions, in the interviews, and in the commercials/trailers. The "leaks" have shown us very little, rather just more rabbit trails.

Lots of people can use Illustrator, not just Paramount employees!
Why can't this be as much of an original work as Dougbot's designs?

I don't know if this is real or not, I'm going to have a look at the footage. Does fit in with the tardigrade theory though.

It's obviously not part of the 'G', whatever it is... and if it is genuine, this image wouldn't be inteded for public release anyway.

edit: If it was real, we're only seeing something like this area in the clip


the thing presumed to be a leg would actually be one of those small arm things.
something just like that retractable purple claw is seen at the end the widget clip, so I find this pretty convincing.

As for the colour supposedly not matching, it's an stylised illustration, I've seen plenty of people illustrated with unusual olours like that, don't read much into it and think it has bright white bony parts.

What is that in the speech bubble coming out of the monster?

Also has no one else noticed the SOLs and helicopters and tanks in the background? Or the landscape at the bottom that looks very similar to what's in the official poster?
