That was awesome! I love the fade in effect. Damn that's some fast running, fight or flight is strong in this.
That makes me feel as though Slendy doesn't want him to dig up whatever's in the ground, that maybe he won't like what he sees.
Stupid question Tahrgat, are you Leo by any chance?
I have always danced around this topic because I like to have peoples honest opinion, but yes I am Leo. To anyone who reads this please do not let it influence your opinions. I am happy that I can post stuff here because on unfiction I am not allowed to post about my own work.

One reason I don't go there. They're very snobbish about that. And their rules state that it's okay after the series has stopped, but one guy posted in the thread just to say it had ended (prematurely, due to lack of interest), and they jumped all over him for it. It was ridiculous.
Anyway, I've been away from the internet for 72 hours (the withdrawals are rough) but I look forward to watching the new video :-D

I like most things about it, however the distortion could be done a lot better.

I feel for you. I hate internet withdrawal. I do post on Unfiction occasionally and aside from the random acts of pointless outrage it is a pretty decent community. They helped me when I needed it most. My handle over there is "Another_Creator".

I agree that the distortion could have been better, but I'm just not sure how. I have used this distortion several other times in the series, so it is formula, and it did what I needed. What I needed was something that would not over-shadow the fact that there are no cuts in the whole segment. I don't believe anyone has done a cut free none walk-in entrance for the Slender Man before. I do appreciate the input about what my weak points are. It helps me better understand what I can work on in the future.

I know Noah from TribeTwelve is here, maybe you could ask him for some advice on it? He seems to be the best for effects.

I am in the Creators Group so I did, fortunately, have his, and many others creators, advice. I do consider Adam the best editor in the Slenderverse. Anyways, in the end I got approval from the group on this version (there were so many different versions >.<). So despite that feeling of "coulda, woulda, Shoulda" I am content with this release and will just use the knowledge I have gained since its release to better my work in the future. Of course not everybody will be happy no matter what I do and I accept that.

Just watched all of these in one sitting.
Officially my new favourite Slenderman vlog!
Short, no BS entries. Very original in a lot of ways. Even though the Necronomicon is an old idea, bringing it into Slenderman is a good move, and a refreshing change from 'My friend was making a student film when he was stalked by Slenderman' which has been ripped off by too many now.
really liked the ethereal Slenderman in entry 5. Effects in general are just right. 720p video always a plus. There's only so much mobile phone footage I can put up with on a 28 inch screen.
I hope entry 42 wasn't the last, because this is now right at the top of my Slender List.
EDIT--
Forgot to say, I think Leo is just asking for Slender Hell! Whether or not this canon includes the Tulpa Effect, I don't know, but if there was a survey asking what lengths you would go to in order to attract Slenderman to your house, Leo has ticked every box! Awesome!!

I have no idea how you did that effect with the hands. But holy hell that might be my new favorite effect.

The video has been removed . I've been slowly keeping up with this Slender story, although it's hard because there are so many entries. I'm enjoying it though, and I subbed, hoping it keeps going!

Just watched this....Those hands made me go...WHAAAAA!!!
I never had seen the hands coming from nowhere thing until a couple years ago when I started looking up Japanese ghost videos and pictures. A common theme with many of them are random hands coming from odd places or seemingly nowhere. That has always weirded me out intensely. So congrats to you sir. You wigged me out quite a bit with that.
If it was me I would of run the hell outta there after seeing hands come out of my bed like that.
I love how we get tiny glimpses into crazy town. The look he does in an earlier video. Or his small fits of rage always alarm me because it feels like he's on the brink of going on some killing spree or something.

Thank you Karanoch, Vohn exel and as always Crusergirl. I am happy that you found something enjoyable ^.^
Karanoch, did you know that people hands keep twitching for awhile after you cut their arms off? good to know when filming something like this :p
Vohn exel, I wouldn't worry about this ending until the end.
Crusergirl, I thought that you might might like this one ^.^

Sure ;p Or I was just going by what you wrote when you first reviewed the series: "That weird hand in 19 freaked me out a little. Hands and arms coming from nowhere spook me for some reason."

Ok, I went ahead and watched that even though it's a bit of a spoiler for me. (I didn't catch any big storyline points, though, I'm pretty sure I'm past where Slendy starts stalking you so it wasn't anything major.) I loved the hands, that's just really cool...but really what I loved the most was you slamming the cell into your head. Really showed your frustration there (that must've hurt, lol.) Very good acting in this video!

Skankpit, thanks for the massive compliment! Sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner.
Crusergirl, I shall always try ^.^
Vohn exel, I had to retake hitting my head like 3 times. I had a headache for two days after shooting and I'm still getting nose bleeds... ALL WORTH IT!

I'm super behind on my YouTube subs, but I finally got to this one. Man, that was awesome. I'm not sure I liked the first hand (it didn't move! it might've been better just to have someone lay behind the bed and use their actual hand) but those freaky ghost hands were an awesome effect. They didn't quite look human, and they had a great quality to them. I have no idea how you did that effect, they almost looked CGI?
And yeah, the phone-to-head part was really good acting, I could really related because I've done similar things when I'm frustrated. It was very emotional.
Good work, keep it up!

I agree, but after working on this episode for a month and not having somebody to help ATM I went with the executive decision of just airing a still hand for 1.5 seconds. I was so burnt out by the end of shooting this that I just wanted to get it done. I worked on this video roughly a week per a minute. I basically learned green screen just for this. The hands you see are mine, but I blended the details to make them more ghostly and incognito. I am happy that you enjoyed this. it makes my efforts worth while to know that people get something from this ^.^

Right, right, I forgot to spoiler my OoG content...
Spoiler:
Where do you live? I seem to remember it was far away from me, unless you never mentioned it and I'm remembering something else, but if you are anywhere nearby, I'd be willing to offer a hand -- pun intended -- in the future

Spoiler:
I do have help, though because of our schedules there is just one day a week we can meet up. Also my wife is here, but her nails would have been a pretty funny stand out. If you want to help then that's cool. More people means bigger scope and less restrictions! I am all for that. I'm not sure if we discussed this, but I live in Saint Petersburg FL.

Yep, super far away. I'm all up in Colorado. So any help I could offer would have to be of a strictly digital nature. I mostly do graphic design, so I don't know how much help that would be. And I'm only just learning video editing and sound editing, so... yeah. But I will continue to enjoy your epically awesome work!
