I compared the 3 cuts in the video, and it seems as though the window in cuts 2 and 3 are the same. I believe (and correct me if I am wrong) that the first cut contains the same window, just with the blinds up, and the window closed a little more, creating the super brightness which makes it hard to see outside.

Perhaps they closed the blinds, turned on the light because it was too bright, then it was zoomed in, removing the brick wall from view.

If you look carefully, you should notice that the vine on the bottom right, and the tree covering most of the left side of the window outside is in all 3, its just harder to see in 1.

If this is correct, then they would be at ground floor, because the ground is seen pretty clearly in cut 1.

Not that it matters, just thought I would share my findings. Razz

Anyone remember that one episode of Stroker & Hoop, where they're looked in CARR high above a cliff, trapped by a magnet, and it turns out the person who trapped them had appeared in every previous episode with a slightly altered appearance and a new position?

Yea, that was a good one. Very nicely played out too.

I'd like to point out yet again, but also stress the fact that J was looking straightly at the Slender Man in this entry -> and he forgot all about it.

In entry #12, it is to be assumed that Tim had contact with the SM (remember Alex thought SM was Tim and was wondering what he's doing on the scene? So he was supposed to be there), and later, in the interview, didn't remember anything about it - or didn't want to remember.

Alex' dog was acting very apathetic/stiff when it encountered the SM...

As the SM is capable of hypnotizing its victims -> Memory loss or coercion into false memories is a possible hypnosis effect. Tim acting nervously in #15 when asked about the SM might mean that he's such an artificial, imposed memory loss / alteration.

So...direkt, close-up contact with SM only? Other entries with only quick glances or shots from afar / with SMs head turned seemed to have no such effects.

I just re-watched this video, and whether or not it's just me being a moron, but does Tim mirror SM's movements when he sways from side to side or vice versa or is it nothing to think about?

After spending the majority of the weekend studying these Entries and perusing the 160-something-page Trailer I found myself with a head full of ideas on what may be happening here. Of course this was all on a minimum amount of sleep.

Something that really stuck out for me as mentioned below...

This occurs at 1:08 of Entry #17. He clearly does a 'double-take' here and there's no doubt in my mind about it. Assuming this was not an error, it would shed more light on the concept that SM has the ability to stun people with a nasty bout of amnesia (among other things) which...
a: explains why J can't remember this happening
b: also lends itself to the idea of why Alex kept filming himself constantly

I may be stating and/or repeating the obvious. If so I apologize, I'm new around here. Been lurking a while now and thought to jump in with some observations.

Very Happy

One thing that I haven't seen anybody point out is that the 3 people in this video (Tim, Alex, and Jay) have obviously encountered SM. Alex is MIA, Jay is currently freaking out, and Tim gets defensive when asked about SM. Since Masky obviously has something to do with Marble Hornets. It can be said that since Brian isn't there he's obviously Masky but I think the opposite. Tim is a much more likely candidate because we KNOW that he has encountered SM.

Speaking of Brian, Slenderman was facing the back of Tim's head in Entry 17. He was also facing the back of Brian's head in Entry 7. Alex and J both directly faced SM in those entries.

I believe something important was missed in this video.

Listen to the dialogue. Sarah is directly mentioned in the script, even though the script is supposed to be a fictional story. Why would Sarah's name be used, rather than a fictional name? Is this a subconcious slip on Alex's part when he wrote the script?
Following the short script reading, Tim then comments on the script, asking who wrote it. Alex comments that it was him, and ONLY him.

What has happened to Sarah? Has SM managed to clear the memory of Sarah from all the boys because they were involved in something or witnessed something they shouldn't; only to go into panic mode when she is bought up in Alex's script?

This could explain why Alex visited the basement with the blood on the wall, to try and jog his memory.

I think Tim was asking who wrote it because it was cheesy and horrible.

If I remember correctly, there aren't any character names that the MH actors use in Alex's film. Tim is Tim, Brian is Brian, Sarah is Sarah. IG, this is probably because Alex is a college kid making an amateur film and can't come up with anything better. OOG, this eliminates a potential source of confusion.

I think you bring up a good point. It is weird that Sarah doesn't show up in this entry (or in entry 20). At first I dismissed her absence since she seems like a minor character...but she's the female lead in Alex's film. There's no way they wouldn't need her at their rehearsals, yet no one even asks where she is.

Did everyone forget she existed? Alex remembers her name while filming his "end of MH" confession during entry 22, but if he did remember her, he could just be omitting her name to cover up her absence.

The guys haven't forgotten Brian, but why? It is possible the MH cast needs physical evidence of the person to remember them...and they are filming in Brian's house. Using his house to film could be enough to remind them that he ought to be there. Other than the script and the tapes, the guys have no physical evidence of Sarah. If Sarah was written out of the script by Alex and J right before entry 20, they would no longer remember her.
