It should be noted that the image with the lens flare is the image from Wiki.

Obviously im not the first to notice this but I haven't seen anyone bring up this in earlier posts and forgive me if they have but I literally just scoured for well over forty minutes of forum posts.

I have noticed the motion background image on https://www.weylandindustries.com tends to get some form of interference roughly in a cycle of 8 seconds for a small blip then at 15 seconds for a larger blip where the colours split into (what appears to me) red, green and blue colour fragments. (kinda like when you take your 3D glasses off when watching a real 3D movie at the cinema). Im not sure if it will make any difference but im gonna hunt through any draws to find a pair, see if this is true and works. If I find anything i'l re-post.


Ive recently watched the talk with Damon & Ridley and the 3D element plays a major part in the release of this movie. It was shot entirely on 3D cameras. Could be a hint to the use of the 3D glasses....or maybe not.

I havent played an ARG since Hanso days from TLE, which if that is anything to go by the wait is sometimes worth it.

Looking at the "video" behind the timeline the 3-D effect seems to be more obvious. Did you have any luck looking into this?

I'm sure it's been posted before but in relation to the 3D element this is the full screen version of the video:

Closer look at it

There is definititely something alphanumeric in there, but it's messy trying to distinguish 1/I, 3/B/8 etc.

I'm guessing it's this way around as if you flip it the 3/B, 2/Z and P would be back to front.

Reads to me something like:

2W1131P1ZYW111

.. or variations there of.

That looks pretty close. Might be off on a couple of them like the Z could still be a 2 or the other 2 could be a Z for example. Good job with that.

 		Well, i've checked the spectrum of tha audio from the TED video, the David commercial, AND the recently uploaded mp3 of the **WEYLAND phone call.

Nothing stands out. I don't know anything about audio steganography, though, but I suppose thatěs been looked into as well, right?

 		I tried to desteg a few images but I'm a little rusty. I was trying to use an old command line programme but didn't get anywhere.

 		I keep getting drawn to the quote "Big things have small beginnings" as a clue. Just found out it is a quote from Lawrence of Arabia.

Here is a link to hear it.

All the references to Lawrence of Arabia....might be a clue to the password.

Good work, I tried to tinker with that more in PS but at best I could just get a couple of characters looking like letters.

I do think that the barcode should be read with the triangle pointed up. If only we had a HD still from the video, I think it would be easier to get a better view of the barcode and see if there is actually something on it.

Checked it our with the Real3D glasses, nothing however the old school Red/Blue Filter glasses may come up with something. I have noticed about one third of the page down from the top there is some form of wavelength signal (very pale blue in colour) and becomes prominent when the colour split within the video occurs. Its seems to be larger at either side of the page but is still faintly recognisable in the centre section.

I do not know if there is any software out there that could break the video up in to Red, Green & Blue filters but there might be something hidden within it (massively speculating just that glitchy web pages for a billion dollar fortune 500 corporate company seems strange dont you think).

There is, Photoshop can split an image into channel layers:

Old tutorial but it should work in general since some of the menu options are at the same place. I'd try it but I don't have Photoshop in this computer, maybe later.

Im a graphic & UI designer so I use PS a lot but I dont think OGV compression file format is compatible with PS and i know little to nothing about video editing software. all I can think off is taking a screen grab at the interference point and then break it up into rgb layers and save as separate images within PS but its long shot. I'l get cracking at 5pm when i finish work!

 		Worth a try I guess considering how speculative we've been getting with barcodes and number patterns!

I thought I would post this here and see if anyone can do anything with it.
