[Video]Slender Freak's response to Entry#25

My opinion and comments on everything going on in entry #25

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3MBH8wSVD0

Note:the video distortion is visible if you watch the night time footage very closely.

Remember, just because Jay said that video was from totheark, it doesn't necessarily mean TTA is Masky.

Jay is human, therefore his observations can't be fully trusted. He jumps to conclusions and can be wrong, just like everyone else. That's what totheark meant at the very beginning.

Though Entry ##### is pretty damning, isn't it?

This is what I always thought! Very Happy

Wait... what was this?!


It's just the Transcribe Audio function of Youtube, which uses voice recognition to try and make subtitles (Badly). As I said, nothing serious, just a cheap thrill.

Stop trying to find Slenderman in the footage, you guys. This is obviously just recycled news footage; they don't have the resources to fake something like this.

Never heard of chroma keys? Or greenscreen, to use a slightly more well-known name for it. Or just plain old editing =/

Does anybody else think that the building in entry 25 is meant to be the same building that was featured in Program?

I do not think so, unless Program was in J's apartment.

You say this, but remember. These guys don't have a budget for something like that. If they did, they'd probably be able to do more video editing for the totheark sequences, and make the Slender Man do something more than stand there with his arms dangling.

It's pretty much a college project. Not a movie or a TV show. And editing old footage like that would be a serious pain in the ass.

I agree with Spritey. It's just recycled news footage, with the audio distorted to take out any identifying names, and some visual tears added when they downloaded it onto the computer to play for us here.

Guys, remember. This is a fun little series, with some supernatural mystery behind it. But not every shadow is the Slender Man, and not everyone walking swiftly in the background is our masked man. Sometimes the simplest answer really is right.

Note that I'm not saying that one of the trio, Slendy, Masky, or TTA, didn't have a hand in the fire. There are stories in the Slender Man mythos of him setting fire to houses with his prey inside. Which makes me curious. Did TTA or Masky do it to keep him from going home? Or did Slendy think he was still in there?

@Ish; to my knowledge, greenscreen is quite cheap these days (well, not to do it professionally and with high-quality, but), as I have seen a few vlogs from people who indicate themselves to be cheapskates that utilize it. All you really need is some white bedsheets to serve as the background, you film them doing their still actions and insert them into a good spot in pre-existing film. But there is no need for argument over this minor point.

I believe someone mentioned, earlier in the thread, that it's entirely possible that even if these news stories are real ones (which they are), but we are supposed to believe that these objects are Slendy/Masky/etc; regardless, it doesn't matter if Slendy/Masky is in this frame since the implication of their involvement is there.

@Slender freak; have you not read the thread? =/ That's been kicking around for nigh on sixteen pages now.

-edit-
Well, not the image itself. Just the idea that "Slendy is in that sequence of shots."

IIRC the part with telephone-pole-Slendy isn't part of the original newscast. Therefore they could've filmed that part themselves and edited it in.

Do you ever read threads? There have been like three posts in this thread by you where you bring up something that's already been brought up tens of times, including this one.

I think I was the one that brought this up when I first posted the news clip or shortly after, but I'm quoting this to reiterate this statement.

People who take the source of this video too literal are making it really hard to read this board. Yes, it's a two year old video with no involvement to Slender Man. That's not how it fits into the story. Since they can't go out and burn a building on the whim, we're supposed to believe it's Jay's apartment (which it isn't) and by the added visual tearing we're supposed to believe Slendy is present (which in reality he isn't, but in the story he is).

Jeez, I take a break for a week and get my hair cut and this happens?

I think it's less that the telephone pole/tree has hands, but that somebody standing behind it has their hands waving out from behind.

And yeah, while it is just unaltered recycled footage, adding hands waving from behind a tree MIGHT (I repeat, might) be within budget. It would be a fairly small, controllable detail and probably a great deal easier than a whole body.

I'm betting it's just found footage though. But that doesn't make it any less important in setting up future events or reinforcing past ones.

Also, that background noise is pretty creepy.
