Ah, showed it to my channel on IRC, someone pointed out the clearly visible wheel at the bottom left. It's a wheelchair.
So... that's gotta have a meaning...

Lady Slonders?

I'm not really helping... Maybe it's The Outer Limits? I just know I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning and know what it is.

Holy shit this TTA entry has scared me more than ANY of the others.
No, correction - the ANALYSIS of the entry has scared me more than anything else.
Spectrograph: No shit, this was so scary I started weeping.
Newface: holy shit that is destroying me.

You know what this means. The rules of this game have totally freaking changed. Break out the spectrographs, tilt your f'in monitors.

I know someone was looking through the prior TTA on spectrograph, but there was a lot of manipulation done on several of the audio tracks - could we do some reversals or inversions to see what might come up?

Also, not sure we can say that NewFace is Brian. That's still pretty distorted. That could be Jay (wideset eyes, short hair).

Also agreeing that I am seeing a drum kit (knee jerk reaction). I think the camera is stationary, but the subject is being moved. Not sure if it is a static picture being manipulated on a different plane.

I've also been working on the image behind the 00's at the end.
My first one looks similar to what's already posted, and the second is obscure at best, but I swear, it appears to be an airplane.



If you watch the end of the video again, it may be an airplane rising up then diving down at an angle, which makes the two pictures seem different.

Or maybe I'm just crazy.

totheark video "Inquiry"

Notes and transcript

The video is 1:01 long.

0:00-0:02: Silence. No image.
0:03-0:09: Video begins. The words "LOOK AT YOU" appear on screen and slowly come into focus, as if the vertical hold on a screen were being adjusted. Music and what sounds like a film tape begin to play.
0:10-0:18: A white silhouette of a person's head and shoulders appears, and steadily gets larger.
0:19-0:22: The silhouette fades, and the image of a human brain is left where the head was.
0:23-0:28: An arrow appears, pointing to the PARIETAL LOBE of the brain, and the words "YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE" appear and focus. While the image of the brain is on screen, lines briefly appear and disappear at the top and bottom of the screen.
0:29-0:31: Two white, vaguely head-shaped blotches appear on a black background. The one on the right has a shape extending from the bottom that looks vaguely like the V-neck of a business suit. Both images begin to have what look like drips coming down from them, as if they were wet paint.
0:32-0:35: [IMAGE 1], which may be a face, appears.
0:36-0:40: The words YOU ARE YOU appear over [IMAGE 1], in the lower left-hand corner.
0:41-0:43: The OPERATOR SYMBOL appears in the upper right-hand corner of [IMAGE 1].
0:43-0:44: Black.
0:45-0:48: Audio distortion occurs and remains until 0:53. [IMAGE 2], a distorted face, appears, as do the words "BUT WHO ARE YOU" in the lower left-hand corner.
0:48-0:50: [IMAGE 3], another face, appears, with the words "WHO ARE YOU" in the upper left-hand corner.
0:51-0:53: [IMAGE 4], yet another face, appears, with the words "WHO ARE YOU" slightly offset to the right of the center.
0:54-0:58: The audio cuts out and only a faint noise can be heard. This noise corresponds to the words "DO I HELP"/"OR DO I KILL" found in the spectrogram of the video. The video is filled with rows of zeroes, and an image can be seen moving behind them. The image could be of or include a wheelchair.
0:59-1:01: Audio cuts out and image is black. There is no hidden final frame.

Speculation

The parietal lobe indicated governs "sensory input, language, mathematics and spatial relations".
There are four faces in this video, each distorted. They each appear to be male. Presumably, they correspond to four of the characters.

IMAGE 1: This face is stretched and rotated. It could be BRIAN or SETH. The words "YOU ARE YOU" and the OPERATOR SYMBOL appear over this image.
IMAGE 2: This face is distorted only slightly, and is most likely TIM. The words "BUT WHO ARE YOU" appear.
IMAGE 3: This face is distorted some, and is most likely ALEX. "WHO ARE YOU" appears.
IMAGE 4: This face is rotated and distorted, but is most likely JAY. "WHO ARE YOU" appears.

Also, did anyone notice the lines the flashed across the top and bottom of the screen during the "brain" sequence?

Alright. So I watched the video -- I donno that the image is a wheelchair but I suppose it could be. It could just as easily be a drum set though, lol.

I feel like this image is TTA vacillating between what to do -- save J from himself and the Operator -- or to let him die. I also think that TTA is illustrating that though he and Tim maybe USED to work together, that Tim is no longer on the same page as he is, and perhaps TTA's attempts to save Tim only made TTA himself more mad, or "less who he is". So far, J's remained more or less intact.

I also feel that this video almost demands we as the viewers get involved -- to plead to TTA for J's life, and to tell J what we've found. Has anyone sent him a message showing what we've decrypted? (Like with pics of the various stills, the spectrograph, etc.) I wonder what if anything that'd accomplish.

EDIT: That "airplane" doesn't appear to be an airplane to me. It looks like the view out a windshield. The bit to the left is an oncoming or parked car. There's someone or a seat-shape to the right where a passenger'd go, and you can kinda see a bit of the dash. Not a car windshield but like a larger vehicle, like an RV or a bus. -- Maybe it's from the same old movie the brain and music are from??

[RequiemForMay]

First off, long time lurker, first time poster. Signed up specifically for this video. Anyway, my biggest question is this; the sideways face (the first face, someone mentioned it earlier in the thread, one with operator symbol over the eye) looks a lot like Jay to me. My question is, why does the operator symbol float over his eye? This isn't the first time totheark has had operator smbols over eyes in a video (although not necessarily Jay's).
