I went ahead and applied the Golden Ratio composition stencil ever the entire image (along with framed sections within the image) and there are two particular areas which fall into the point of interest.

One is the tape dispenser.
And the other is the black smudge on the letter "R".

Unfortunately the images are too pixelated to make it if it's just a smudge or if there's something else in there.

BTW, if you lay the golden ratio stencil over the image, you'll notice that the image is broken up into three main rectagular sections. These roughly match up with the three main rectangular section on the GOlden Ratio....When apllied the area with the tape dispenser and scissors seems to be the main area of focus.


Probably just a coincidence.

The monkey on the hat reminds me of something. I showed it to my wife without saying a word and she said it looked familiar to her. So I started thinking of where I may have seen that monkey before and then I remembered the Nasca lines in Peru. Not an exact match as I was thinking but perhaps a cool coincidence.

What if the hat belongs to the guy who is sending the messages and he took it off for a second to take the picture and the box is really for the lamp... Never jump to conclusions in an ARG.

I can see that the hat isn't necessarily an indicator as to when this picture is supposed to have been taken but what about the funky lamp. Some of these objects could simply be there to act as a clue to what time-frame we are dealing with or they might just be red herrings.

The unidentifiable object appears to me to be a close up of a railing that is dividing rooms. It was a popular style in the 70's i believe to have the living room a step or two lower than the entry and than putting a rail around it. Confused


The lamp could have come from or is going into the box.

I dont think the background is what we should be focusing on. We should more be focusing on the conversation going on and what was shown clearly in the photo. What can be clearly seen without editing is a projector with what looks like a photo album on top of it, with part of the scariest thing i ever saw thing from the trailer on it. This is most likely what he's referring to when he says that he has "it"

@gramma
Finally, someone who actually agrees that this might not be as complicated as someone makes it out to be. Although I disaree a little bit on some of your points.

Person A proofs to Person B that he has the old Super8 Film Material in his hands

Person A is using an super8 projector (not overhead) - look at the dust flakes on the top of the projection - the film material is moving "from top to bottom" so to speak

I dont see what you mean about the "dust". If you look over at whatever is on the table, it looks flat, and then seems like it has some sort of papers sitting on top of it. We also dont have any proof that the "scariestthingieversaw" thing that rolls across the screen in the trailer is from super8 film.

Also, if you compare the one on the projector and the one in the trailer, the one in the trailer looks a lot more crumpled and worn, like paper would get over an extended period of time, which makes me think it is an overhead projector, and he's looking at something from a file or album about the "incident". But that's also speculation.


I'm sticking with projector because it looks like it's paperwork from the files being projected as the image is so much clearer than the images we saw in the trailer, I don't see any evidence of a super8 film, I think the pen was or is the pen that wrote scariestthingieversaw onto the projected image.

image of old projectors

looking at these old pics it makes me think that it is a cooling fan on the side and not a speaker.

I do think we are inside an interrigation room or similar, as the glass/mirror is so dark and full length, I think it is a two way mirror.

Taking your print, I can show you what I meant with 6-8 sided.
Mirrors are like pool billiard. In-angle is out-angle.
Your in- and out-angle would be turquoise. But to match the situation, your mirror would need to be the red one. In my opinion, it just matches better.
And that would be a strange shape for a room, wouldn't it?


deffinitly agree with these angles, that's why the hat looks so big, and that there are two work surfaces in the room, it's just the partition/door/window that is confusing me a little.

With a little assistance from the super8news forum, I found that VER (from the film strip) is a computer command. It is a "shell" command meaning it prints the name and version of the operating system. I'm not exactly sure how it works but maybe someone tech savvy can work with that info. I still think it's a coincidence but you never know.

Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ver_(command)

I believe in the one photo(because i am sticking with my theory i said above) that it isa projector that is displaying the image. I too remember the projector having a side cooling duct/fan.

And like i said before, the reason why the partition/mirror and angles dont make sense is because it's a picture of one photo lying on top of another one. Because where is the "edge" of the mirror? Why are the angles off? It doesn't really change much except that our evidence may not be in the same room, but who cares if it is. WE still are being shown what we need to to figure stuff out.

as per emails...right? How are they communicating through STIES?

What about the email button on STIES is that activated? Can we mount a messaging device? what would that be?

EDIT: The writing looks remarkable similar to that of the KODAK writing to. I am going back to the trailer to look again.

I totally agree. I took a good look at the photo the edge of the "mirror" in particular. It's quite clear that if this was a corner of a room or if there was an angle from the mirror, that there would be some reflection of the projector from the positioning of the image projected.

On the bottom left corner you can see the edge of the projected image, but if you follow the edge up it gets crooked and would be partially on the mirror. I'm sure we would get some sort of light reflection, or even reflection of the projector if that was the case.

EDIT: Was messing around with the image and noticed further that if that was a corner, the break in the "mirror" would have a small portion of the projection on it. Tried to do a mock up of the edges of the projection, but it didn't work real well.[/img]

If it is a picture on top of a picture, what accounts for the ridge of wall texture mud usually indicative of a corner?

Given the perspectives and everything, it might be that the reflective surface is more in the foreground than the wall with the projection. i can definitely duplicate this effect at home, but im at work right now D:

@v37



Your image is zoomed in very far however it looks like you flipped the ENTIRE image(not just the left side because it is mirrored). Why is this? I am confused on why people keep flipping the images...there is no need really except for the mirror image which technically you dont need to flip except to read the SOLD...otherwise its just a reflection of the lamp etc over and behind the viewers left shoulder.

I just need some more understanding , not being sarcastic....

Clever name Amblin, ET right?
Your right, I have the image flipped. I can't speak for anyone else but I just didn't think to flip it back to normal before I took the snapshots, nothing exciting. And definitely no offense taken Smile
