That caught my eye earlier today, too. It is a lamp. In the original you can see it from a different angle.

This is embedded in the new Video 6 page:



It appears very briefly before the distorted video. It might take a few refreshes to catch it.

Something did catch my eye in the picture. I'm probably just seeing things, but I circled what is interesting to me. I'm probably looking too deep, but let me know what you think:



Yeah that caught my eye too, but I think it is just a lamp post, if you watch the full trailer you can see it behind her when she's describing the moves she's doing.

Yeah, I saw. Sorry, didn't mean to provide false hope for something.

Weird fact, the counter on the page resets to 0 after it hits 20,000. Did an experiment, and it's back to the low 1,000 range.

I wonder if they can string this out until October. If so, it would be cool to see how it progresses.

guys, everytime that hit counter clocks up to 20,000, it resets and another "update" is applied somewhere in the site

Nice catch on the missing katie shot

Unfortunately, that's not the case. I personally sat there with a few friends and kept refreshing to see what would happen. My initial idea was that once the counter reached 20,000 an update would perform, thinking every 10,000 hits something changes.

It set to zero with no updates.

And thanks on the compliment Smile
I check back every few hours looking for something new, but I feel like this is pretty much a dead end until a new update is released Smile

So at what point did the original featherstone family video get replaced with the 9 second distorted mess they currently have in its place?

It was just random. I paid attention to the counter, and it didn't seem significant. I think the counter was at around 5,000 or so. I remember it being the original, because I showed it to my sister, around 4:30 EST. Then I showed it to my mother around 6:00 PM EST, and that's when I saw the video was distorted.

Ok, strange..

There has to be something to the fact of the counter resetting..

Also, i am sure we are missing a few things from the other videos

And where are tapes 2, 3 and 5?

ill be checking back every so often! ha i love this !

Well I think more videos will be posted within the next week, personally. Darren's automated email asks for you to leave your information if you would like to see more "examples" of his "work".
So I believe there will be more videos.

I did already check, and 2, 3, and 5 do not exist as web pages, which I found intriguing. I do have to wonder if there's something about the video numbers...

So we have 1, 4 and 6 visible.

I can't think of a date or anything. Neither can I think of anything for 2 3 and 5. Hrm. Could just be nothing. We'll have to wait until "Darren" gets "back" from the incoding meeting.

There's something strange about this scene:


Sure, one could think it spells TOBI. However, it looks like 2-3 words are missing, if it's supposed to spell something out.

It looks like there could even be a line missing between "Treat your video" and Optimize the data.
Otherwise, if there isn't anything missing, it could be TO: BI.

Hrm. It's been driving me crazy, but unless we're missing something, maybe we're not supposed to know until later.

Ok, on that screenshot, notice the list on the right of the screen, the words "DVD" are all perfectly aligned down the page, however for some reason the first 4 pink dots are moved across, lining up the last letters - SAMK with the following 4 letters EONU

SAMKEONU - anagram for MAKE ONUS ? or ASK ME UNO (1) ?

I may be clutching at straws here, but surely there is a reason they moved the first 4 words across to line up like that whilst still keeping the DVD in perfect formation


Also, "Beautify the Resolution" , why is the word cut off? there has to be a reason the "tion" is not in screen

And the incode, we all know is a typo for Encode, so if it was encode then the letters reading down would be TO BE

Slowly but surely we will put this one together

Awesome!!! Love the PA viral stuff =)

Oh and that small blip in the one video, watched it prob a hundred times, it looks like a baby's baptism to me with the mother on the left. and a younger girl also in a dress center -> slightly right.


Also that shot you posted Nathanial... Is it just me or is the guy literally pointing to the last two sentences, to be precise it seems he is pointing directly to "incode for eternity". There is no such word of course and when you google "incode" and try a dictionary ref it always links to "encode. This isn't really a spoiler so I am just going to post it as it is copied from the dictionary site...


en·code

   /ɛnˈkoʊd/ Show Spelled[en-kohd] Show IPA
–verb (used with object), -cod·ed, -cod·ing.
to convert (a message, information, etc.) into code.

—Related forms

en·cod·a·ble, adjective
en·code·ment, noun
en·cod·er, noun
mis·en·code, verb (used with object), -cod·ed, -cod·ing.



I get the feeling something is missing as well, or is so obvious we have somehow all over looked it.
