There's always a bit of tearing along the bottom of the screen, though you may be right. Then again, in #17 we don't see much distortion at all for a long period of time, at least until the end when the film seems to crap out altogether.

But then, how is there apparently audio in TTA's videos that's supposed to match up to some of the earlier entries?

TTA might have taken it before J got around to watching the videos (there are ways) and produced it to possibly appear more trustworthy. TTA could also be lying and the sound could be a fabrication on his part (not as likely).

I'M BACK who missed me and noticed I was gone? Without internet, I've been stewing over the rest of this entry beyond OH MY GOD SLENDERMAN.

While it'd be AWESOME if Skully was Alex's girlfriend, looking back, it doesn't really look like long blonde hair, just distortion. If it was hair, Amys hair isn't nearly that poofy. And the shorter, darker hair doesn't look long or fluffy enough to be Tims. It could be three-years-ago!Tim, but for some reason I'm leaning towards Brian or Seth or hell, Jay.

Because I've got this strange idea that everyone who disappeared (minus Tim, because he's the head honcho of it all) has adopted a mask for themselves and gone into hiding. Maybe Alex has something the Masky army wants, and head-Masky's been stalking Jay in order to find it. I.E., the "ark."

And yeah, when this is all over, I definitely want a behind-the-scenes something-or-other. At the very least, so we can see how they did Slendys model, paticularly the new RAEG-SLENDY model and who played him during the walking scenes.

Also someone mentioned Indrid Cold, and I shivered because that dude freaks me out like whoa. A mothman/slendy crossover type deal would be strange and frightening.

Yay, Mops is back! I agree with just about everything, though who knows about the Masky army. Oh god, if Skully was Jay, that'd be really messed up. Alex would be screwed in the upcoming events.

(I guess that it'd make some amount of sense with Jay disappearing regularly and not remembering things! Still... mind-blown!) I'm still thinking that Skully was Tim, just because it flows better. You never know!

A behind the scenes video or chat room or whatever would be pretty fantastic. I imagine that anything interactive would be pretty flooded, though.

I feel loved!

Yeah, Masky army doesn't seem too likely, but that doesn't stop it from being AWESOME. Slenderman would be all "all ur brainz are belong to me!" and then Alex would be all "STOP RIGHT THERE, SLENDERFREAK." and an army of anonymous maskies come out of nowhere and ambush him in an epic showdown.
...That sounds kinda like V for Vendetta. Anyway.

Even if Skully isn't Amy, it doesn't mean that she can't be an important character. After all, she's the one who DID (apparently) escape with the tape, so in all liklihood she's the one who sent Jay the package. Maybe Alex disappeared after she escaped and wasn't right behind her like he said he would be, oooo.
How she KNOWS about Jay is anyones guess. Maybe she found more tapes. o_o

Tim being BOTH Maskys is also cool, especially if you throw in the 'Tim-has-multiple-personalities-and-takes-pills-for-it' theory and both Masky and Skully are seperate personalities. Hey, along the lines of that theory, Skully could very well be a girl anyway!

I don't know... I think it's far more likely that Alex AND Amy got out and that Alex sent the note. It's too long of a stretch to say that Amy knows Jay and the (X) symbol (from HELP.) She barely seems to know how to operate a camera, and between the regular footage and the HELP sign, the timer disappears! (Note that I have not a clue as to how these things work, so if timers can be easily turned on and off, please ignore.)

I'd kind of think that if there were an army of Masky's, it'd be that they were on Slendy's side, just because we see Alex mention that his friends are gone. If they were on his side, I don't think that'd happen. (Given the way that we see how Masky treats Jay, and that Skully appears to be lurking outside the filmer -- Alex's? door in the brief glimpse we get, I'd say they're probably antagonistic at the very least!)

Anyhow, where's the multiple-personalities thing coming from? It seems like a heck of a big extrapolation to make. I'm not sure how that disorder works, but I think that if the creators wanted us to be thinking that, they'd have given us more clear-cut signs. We only see the Skully mask briefly in the very last entry, which I'm assuming happened three years ago. If Tim was using different masks to differentiate personalities, we'd probably have seen Skully again when Masky was bothering Jay. It seems more likely to me that Skully was a prototype that didn't work as well as the current mask, or else the Skully mask was broken at some point and it was necessary to switch over.

Anyhow, I'm guessing that Amy's probably a side character tossed in to help show us that Alex was getting on with a new life and that he'd done a good job in settling in. :\ It doesn't mean that she can't be important, it just means that I think that if she's important, it's going to be in upcoming content, not in linking her to TTA or Masky or events that happened in the past.

I don't know... I'm curious as to how long Amy has been around. In an earlier entry (I think 7?) Brian was being filmed in Alex's car. At some point Brian cues us in on that there's someone else in the back of the car, and that they are female. The only female characters we have so far would be Amy and Sara, and if it was Amy, how involved is she in anything? It seems that she was around, but not involved enough to actually be aware of the slenderman (just like Jay wasn't aware).

Then, in one of the TTA videos (Deluge?) Alex is being said backwards by a female voice. Was this enhanced audio from that entry with the girl in the back? Or is it from somewhere else? Or is it just high pitched for an arbitrary reason.

And of course in the line of mystery people, there's the camera man in the entry where Tim shows up late, and sick to a shoot. This could have been anyone (except of course for the people on camera, and Brian who was mentioned as being not there).

I just assumed that was Seth, but you're right, could have been anyone.

As much as it's probably a bad idea to discount anything at this point, I don't think that Amy would have made a big deal about not having cameras if she knew what Alex had been through, even in the least. She could have forgotten about everything, as Jay had done, but in #22 when Alex is listing off goners, Amy isn't amongst them. I very much think that she wasn't involved in the shenanigans of the original filming!

I actually just remembered that part in 22. Hmm. It's still something I'm keeping in the back of my mind.

That reminds me of something I only realized when I was reading a transcription (which makes me think it might be helpful to read transcriptions of the dialogue in addition to just watching). You never hear the third person in the car--probably Sarah, since she was the only female around then. Despite not hearing them, Alex says something like, "Just don't say anything, the camera...it records everything." I don't know if that's important or not, but it certainly is odd. Why is her voice never heard? It seems like, once or twice, she must've said something. I don't think it's the result of cuts/edits in the tape, either. I'll have to go dig up the thread while I'm at it...

I noticed that she never speaks, either! Maybe it has something to do with an audio version of what we were seeing with Tim's face blurring out in #20, where if she is speaking at all, it gets silenced out?

At this point Alex seems to be at least passingly familiar with the threat that is Slender Man, so he very well could have done his best to edit her out of the tape for her own safety some time after the filming... or somebody else could have?

(I bet that, out of character, it was just that Jay's actor was sitting in back but they didn't want it to seem that way. XD)

This may just be me getting tired and looking into every little bit of this video but when Amy says shes not recording and Alex says I can still see the light could he be using that out of context and actually referring to the flashes of light seen at around the 2:36 mark. Just seems very weird the way he says it sorry if this has already been discussed

When we first watched this, Kat mentioned, "the part with the light and the recording seems like the only part that was scripted. The rest seemed more natural." We didn't notice the flashes of light, though. You might be on to something!
