simsie Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I was going over the video with a mate and he noticed something... At 39 there is no glasses logo... At 45 there is..... And at 47, its gone again.... Then loki says "the vanishing point, that where things dissapear" he wonders if this is of any relevance Simsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephantom Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Edit: I am sorry, that's 00:58, not 1:38. I was looking that the wrong figure. Disregard the first comment, I was looking at the wrong figure. 00:58 is correct. Just quoting this in case you have not noticed my edit earlier. The word here is 'remember'.

brew crew Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Doesn't one of the Microsoft Age of Empires games involve the God Loki? http://vanishingpointgame.com/assets/bin/..

Jo Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Doesn't one of the Microsoft Age of Empires games involve the God Loki? http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/assets/bin/... (something I found kinda useless though) Loki is a character from the Norse Mythology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki That's why it is mentioned on that game OUR loki is more.. a Loki from popular culture "Portrayals of Loki in modern culture vary wildly, from villainous and malicious trickster to benevolent yet mischievous hero." While surfing in wikipedia, found other curiosities 'bout Loki.. LOKI, a family of cryptographic block ciphers - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOKI whoisloki? :D Edited December 27, 2006 by Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace1and11 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think the disappearing logo on the glasses is relavent. In the frames where the logo disappeared the pixelation looks odd. The only other way to explain this is a natural occurance where because of the light and the angel at which you see something things can "disappear" one thing that comes to mind are the stripes on a Tazmainian tiger (thats sort of a nikname for the animal I can remember the actual name for the life of me) the stripes would disappear and reappear based on the angel at which the animal was relative to your eyes. But I think most likly...and the context of what she is saying kinda gives it off for me... the pixels were edited and it is a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konamouse Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 At 39 there is no glasses logo... At 45 there is..... And at 47, its gone again.... Then loki says "the vanishing point, that where things dissapear" After various replays, I'm inclined to believe that it's a trick of the lighting on the logo. If the video producers were that meticulous about post production, they would have edited out the now infamous "man on the side & orange extension cord" scene. For now I'd rather concentrate on those darn candy wrappers and her sketch notebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace1and11 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I agree the notebook and the wrappers are obviously more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2687 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 That's pretty unmistakable...the logo clearly is only visible at one point in the video. You can also get a pretty clear view of that side of the glasses right the beginning when she's in the bathroom and at the end. There is no logo in those parts either. It's not the lighting because you can still see the shiny metal piece on the inside of the frame in all the shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Veteran Posted December 27, 2006 Author Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2006 I'm with konamouse on this - I think the glasses logo is a lighting issue and we shouldn't focus on it. I may be proved wrong but Microsoft isn't in the habit of product placement of other companies and I doubt this would be let through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadboyda Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 www.vanishingpoint.com www.wineflower.com www.colorfulkoi.com These domains are all owned by the same owner as www.vanishingpoint.com. I recently discovered www.colorfulkoi.com and find it very interesting that at the bottom of the page it encourages those in the area to access their WIFI. Since we will have our website on location it would only be fair to share our high speed internet access with those who don't have internet access or are limited to insanely slow dialup access. So, for those within range, who are supporting us they will be given access to our high speed wireless internet for as long as your support lasts. There is a map link provided. If anyone is in the Liberty, MO area I suggest driving out there with a laptop and seeing if there are any interesting WIFI hot spots. Also note the ironic anagram-esque name of colorfulkoi, the fact that they "only do business online", and the japanese references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konamouse Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 www.vanishingpoint.com www.wineflower.com www.colorfulkoi.com Two things were taught to me when I first started playing ARGs. Check the source code. Check the Whois info. Neither of these are consistent w/ known game sites - a good indication that these sites are not part of VPG (VanishingPointGame). The main site was registered more than a couple of years ago, the servers are different, and the registers personal information is freely available (please don't call him). Therefore, they are considered OOG (Out Of Game). However, I'm sure the site owners are enjoying a huge increase in web hits....might increase their placement for SEO (Search Engine Optimization, another term that ARGs taught me when we poked around a proclaimed "reality tv show in the making" last year). "colorful koi" sounds like a site selling Japanse pond fish. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogfood Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 The strongest visual of the entire video is when she's talking on the phone and her profile is in direct juxtaposition to the bird of paradise http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strelitzia. The video is 1min 38sec long. Half of that is 48 seconds. The very center of the video is at 49 seconds. At 49 she says "vanishing point tag". The vanishing point is a type of center or Zenith, horizon. Is there something special about the center of the vid. What?s the deal with that flower being so prominently displayed? What?s with the (chocolate) wrappers? She says Vegas is a profitable place if you have a good memory as they show the wrappers she sais "look".

She says Vegas is a profitable place if you have a good memory as they show the wrappers she sais "look". Look at the placing of the wrappers in each of the frames, im sure this has to be some thing link to somthing else let me analyse the video more. EDIT: Also looking at the Glasses and the D&G logo, it is stiil their as you can actually see it is slightly darker. Looks inconstant... hmmm bad editing? or lighting?

I learn something new every day. The pattern is, ciphers have been received via mail, the ciphers have revealed answers to clues given in the video.
