[ABANDONED SERIES] doingJACKALL

http://www.youtube.com/user/doingJACKALL

Something refreshing. A new video series that doesn't force you through seven minutes of silence or dry talking with characters you don't yet know. First one seemed a little forced, but it was subtle enough with the "flashback" to the dog.

And I love the "backyard Jackass" concept of the second one... believe it or not, that was the "coulda / woulda / shoulda" of a particular fitness series.

I also like the abstracted nature of it. No droning dialogue as an intro.

Very nice change from the norm. Everything is kept short and to the point.

My only problem with this so far is that they named their third video "#0 - Introduction" which basically ruins the premise of them not knowing if this was just a little thing or if it could escalate.

From an IG point of view, it should have been named something else, but from an OOG point of view it makes sense.

Otherwise it seems interesting.

Nice to get in on the ground floor and not need to play catch up like I did with Marble Hornets, EMH, and TJA Projects/5zer02. Hopefully it shares their quality, still to early to judge.

So what's with the half-minute blackout at the end of #0?

I really liked the first two videos. Simple and oblivious. Agree with the comment above about the naming of #0 and the fact that they've been "contacted" about Slendy appearing in their videos means they're probably going to be always looking over their shoulder from now on.

I think it was pretty good, but I don't fully understand why he just decided to get off his bike and start walking in the middle of the woods. I guess maybe he was looking for Slenderman, after people started contacting him about it.

I think that was just some random guy on a bike there...
But I agree, I love this account, but it's way too early to tell..

I do wish, when people put a white piece of cloth over their face, that they'd do all they can to try and get it to fit as tightly as possible. When it's baggy and creases and you can see the folds, I just get all kinds of disappointed. But I loved the painful sound distortion!

Those were some pretty woods.
I also like the return to the head jerk. Makes you wonder what he was watching before he noticed the camera.

This reminds me of an idea I had briefly and let go. I'm intrigued to say the least! Surprised

New video: http://www.youtube.com/user/doingJACKALL#p/u/0/RHBLzCrmRy8

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The description is Latin for "Sleep with one eye open". Right after telling us that he's read all our e-mails and knows everything he needs to know he tells us he's decided to tape himself at all times. I'm pretty sure that's a symptom I warned him to watch out for. The person doing the original uploading, James, quote "went away" before video #1 was posted. 56 seconds in he looks like he's researching Slenderman but I don't recognize the site. Visual tearing at 1:29, Slenderman is in his bedroom. We don't get a name for this guy, but until told otherwise I'm assuming he's "Finn" from the first video. Not sure the new guy is trust worthy.
