Actually SM was further to the left and a bit more up.

But this is at the very beginning of Entry 7. There's no telling where he might have been then.

Ok, so having the codes DIRECTLY in the middle of the screen constitutes slenderman?

...Did anyone else notice the S (similar to the one from Program) that fades into the upper right of the screen between 12 and 17 seconds into the video? I sure didn't notice it until I watched the video several times.

I just finished audio analysis. The words are backward and have been slowed down I believe it says "final shoot". Even with drastic noise reduction it's still quite garbled.

yep, the "S" is back. So it must be significant somehow.
Also in the last second of the video when the camera pans over, could somebody get some screen shots of that? I've watched it several times and each time it looks like there's something different there.

I don't know what you're seeing there, but on a related note: Someone should download the video, and see if there's anything on a hidden last frame.

Just a thought, but wouldn't the slowed-down bit be from entry 7. not something that wasn't existing there, such as "Alex," "Stay Away," Or "Start Film?"

Not to mention the upside-down words "Tick Tock." Which may imply ANYTHING that ticks, including clocks, metronomes, or filmreels. This seems to be a lazy follow-up to program; Almost everything is there for a totheark video: Retarded code, messed-up words, a hidden symbol or message, and a watery hint [I wonder how no one has yet to mention the connection between rain and the wave filter over the video. For shame.]

First, I thought the message was upside down, and it might be. But when I realized the "S" watermark, while in the opposite corner of where it appeared in Program, was 'right-side-up", I kept thinking about the timing as I interpreted it.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8, 9
16

I was thinking why a jump from 9 to 16? Doing what I've seen done elsewhere, encouraged by totheark's name, of course, I went for chapter and verse. Went to Genesis, seemed a good starting point (rimshot), because that is where the ark w/ water makes one grand appearance.

Chapt 9:16 is of course the conclusion of the flood tale. "And the (rain)bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."

Verses 9-16 of chapter 9 are crazy, read them especially if you think MarieDarling's dead animal observations are as fascinating as I do. The passage discusses general bloodshed after being released from the ark. Dead animals, dead people, retribution and all sorts of fun stuff. However, I don't think this passage was clearly pointed to.

Gen 8:9-16 is about the end of the time spent on the ark, a period of seven days and all sorts of jazz.

IDK, just thinking. I have to trudge through the trailhead again and look for any random bible reference i may have previously ignored.

what is wrong with you? don't shame people here.


anyways i've looked through this thing a lot, but am quite puzzled. here are the main clues/discrepancies:

1. significance of 'advocate'
2. why is 'tick tock' upside down?
3. what's with the squiggly 's' (or whatever it is) again
4. significance of entry 7
5. if the other video was grilles, the binary clock theory in this one is confusing. how are these 1's/0's connected to the other 1's/0's?
6. what's with the audio?
7. why the shift to the backseat at the end?


there's more but that's all i can think of at the moment.

Well in any case, if the code does show a binary clock or whatever, I believe this is a warning to J. That time is running out for him. As for the significance of the the tick tock being upside down backwards? The only thing I can think of is pretty stupid, but here I go anyway. Perhaps SM is just saying, the more J digs around in the past {ie backwards in time} the less time he has. I don't even know if that makes sense, the thought just occurred to me.

ok i may have found something... sort of. i wanted to see how many frames each number popped up on, to make sure one wasn't being held for double time or something, and found something else.

let's assume the numbers are binary and the last one is 10. here's a table of the first frame the numbers appear on.

the format is second.frame ex:(4.10 is 10th frame in 4th second). this was recorded at 30 frames per second. zero starts at exactly 2 seconds and 0 frames, or 1 second and 30 frames.


Code:

# |SEC.FRAME
0 | 2.00(1.30)
1 | 2.29
2 | 3.28
3 | 4.27
4 | 5.26
5 | 6.25
6 | 7.24
7 | 8.23
8 | 9.22
9 |10.21
10|11.20


we could either take this as just "every set stays on for 29 frames" OR we could take it a step further and say something about countdowns or something. it could just be meaningless.

I DUNNO MAN

That actually IS relatively interesting.

And I realise sarcasm doesn't travel well through the internet [I was victimized by it only moments ago], but I figured this time it was blatantly obvious.

i thought i'd point out (though i'm not sure it means anything at all) in entry 7 there are a number of cuts, 3 i think, any of which could be advocate, or part of it.

the only time i see a "pan" to the back at all is in the very beginning of the footage from 7 when alex says "lets start again." but i dont think advocate is a match for the beginning, because brian wasn't looking at alex until after he "panned," and in advocate brian is looking about half of the time before the "pan."

i think the ending pan is fake, so to speak. meaning, basically he zoomed in the original clip and moved it to the right a tthe end to make it look like a pan. i am away from my pc at the moment, but i'll try to match up the facial movements to those in entry 7.
