What's in the Box?
«
on:
April 26, 2009, 11:30:11 AM »
Apologies if anyone's posted this before, this is the first time I think I've seen it.
What's in the Box?
With further searching finding,
Babel Research
YouTube video
YouTube interview
So, this is probably one of two things:
1. HL2:EP3/Portal 2 alternate reality game.
2. Fan-made video.
Up to the point where I was watching the video I was leaning towards the first, the interview's made me doubt it a bit. Currently think it's just a fan-made set up with an impressive special effects budget. Still, thought you might like to make your own minds up, it's a well made video either way.
EDIT: Apparently there are also references to "Lost", I've never seen it so I wouldn't recognise them! So, yeah, fan-made video is most likely.

That was fantastic! A realy nice video. Realy impressed with the special effects. I know there is no lead charater audio, but the other sounds did put me in mind of "Half-Life The movie".
Just out of curiosity, I'd love to see where this goes.
Nice find fella - Applauded.

its an ARG
couple months old now, its confirmed not to have anything to do with valve or anything to do with lost.
the website itself has a version of the video with the voices included like it was meant to have, much better viewing, there are also bits and pieces around to do with the quarantining of some area and some sort of massive loss of life somehow.

Yes, looks like a technically very advanced fan video.
I am wondering if the men in the protection suits should be combine soldiers? (the voices indicate that).
As far as Lost is concerned all I can detect so far are music cues taken from the series.

Meh, when I saw it, was an instant fan movie but that's it. It was "okay" (well, quite well made, but not exactly much there) - not as good as Escape from City 17, which also popped up recently

There is another reference to Lost - at the bottom of the Babel page - there is a link to the Hanso foundation - this I think has something to do with the Dharma initiative (the research/scientific stations on the island)

Not an official site, but pretty well done. The currently ongoing ARG with portal has actually more style of that guy who did Minerva than anything else (and Valve hired him recently
).
The what's in the box video was done by a filmography student from denmark if I remember correctly. Don't know about the smaller videos on Babelresearch site, but it's the same handwriting. Don't know what became of him, though.
