A connection

After receiving numerous emails suggesting a connection to a film called HEAD TRAUMA. I reached out and contacted the film maker Lance Weiler. Here's what he had to say.

Richard,

I'm sorry to hear about HOPE if there is anything that I can do please let me know. To answer your questions there is a missing girl in HEAD TRAUMA and she is abducted in a scene by a Hooded Figure. After looking at your videos I thought it would be best to turn over to you what I have so that you can use it within your search.

The Jacket was purchased in the spring of 2003 for $45 dollars. We purchased two of them from a gentleman selling army surplus over ebay. They are air forced issued and were used in the late 80s and early 90s from what I was told.

The following are a number of stills that include the Hooded Figure and the girl within the film.











I sincerely hope that this helpful and if you need anything else please let me know.

Regards,
Lance Weiler



I'm not sure if there is any correlation between Mr. Weiler's movie and Hope's disappearance but I don't want to leave any stone un-turned. I'm getting so close to the day that we were to be married. My stomach is knots and I can't sleep.

I know that I keep saying this but I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for all your hard work in searching for HOPE. For those who have carved time out of their busy schedules to help aid us in our time of need - thank you so much!

I´ve just started at this. kinda lost, still, but, starting to understand. i need to know where or how you guys get to translate the codes.
the fist movie i saw was the newer one, that came out 2 days ago. and going through it I found a really long code, but I can't translate it.
there is a lot of info on this video but this one seems to be one of the top ones.
The image is at 1:33.
an eye and it says:

DKSKF HIVO PX B SINGSG DWUO ICK USE DLAX BYD ZOOVF

(in the botton there's this red number:) 84787

If anyone could translate, i think it would be nice... or teach me how to do it... =P
lets find hope...

but for some reason, some of the text they leave doesn't work with this system, like the one you have right there. I don't know how to translate those

Unknown said...

well at least now I can translate other texts.
Thanks a lot, genie!
i'll keep working on these if i find out something, i'll post it here.

@Event-Pkmn

Jpegs have comments in them, usually the editor will write its name there, or some other note about how the image was compressed. This is normal.

LOL ¬¬ i was thinking it was real!¬¬ crap

In today’s attention economy – directors have to work hard to gain(let alone keep!) the attention of viewers. Lance Weiler (self confessed “culture hacker” acclaimed writer/director) is doing just that using MySpaceTV. His latest creation is “Hope Is Missing” a “Horror 2.0 ARG” (alternate reality game) that mixes multiple web 2.0 properties in a lead up to the VOD release of the movie ‘Head Trauma’. This move highlights the lengths directors are going to turn “the viewer” into “the user” in order to connect them with content like never before.

Fusing text messaging, offline events, Twitter, and Opera browers users are assaulted on all fronts and quickly engage with the material to find out what happens next.

The main crux of the program lives on MySpace including
· Profiles
· Blogging
· Video series 4-part web series that will roll out over three weeks (1+2 this week then 3 and 4 over the next two weeks)

Within the videos are a number of hidden clues that lead into the ARG (alternate reality game). There will also be offline events (such as Mobile Drive-Ins) in major cities and multiple sites that only add further to the experience on MySpace. Already garnering buzz within the “hipster/cool kids” community because clues can be found across media platforms – it’s truly addictive.

Viral marketing???? thats why all the conection's whit htmod.com and the other pages!

genie said...

but how did you come up with that? i've been trying for days to figure out how to translate that

Unknown said...

**5:8 5:9**

how did you figure out that code?
what's the pattern and can you figure out what htmob.com translates to say?

The way I did it is as follows: OK BAD LT is an anagram for BLAKDOT. Since the alert.americandistro.com text was written in the Vigenere cipher, http://sharkysoft.com/misc/vigenere/. I thought maybe the above was, too. I just didn't have the key. So, since northdash said that 'the solution is in the black dot' on his twitter, I tried blakdot...and it worked.I had a little help..........

Get to know Northdash, for some reason he is the key, this all puzzles me I have everything so far just cant put it all together....Need more clues.

Also before I go make sure you's check this out

&

I think this will be fun too:-)

"Happy days"

ok, so i think im onto something but i just cant get it straight. the recently uploaded photos, one for instance named

http://bp2.blogger.com/_xUai1D4AZ4Q/Rxe18wnSwtI/AAAAAAAAACY/2IpCGzEHOjw/s1600-h/richHF4.jpg

when you change the number at the end it reloads the same photos over and over no matter the number you put.

i looked for another variation and the letter variations before the actual file name change each picture. if it is possible to decode those things along with the correct number order of the photos we may be able to access separate photos from this survalence?

hopefully this will do something!!!!
