So after 7 months of trying to figure things out, my friends and I have finally started our Slender Man vlog ARG. Our inspirations for the series from now and upcoming events are EverymanHYBRID, Marble Hornets, Tribe Twelve, DarkHarvest00, and MLAndersen0. We're going for a bit of a different storyline, as well.
So we've been on this 3-month-long hiatus because of our Slender Man actor, but we'll be back (hopefully) within the month.
(Sorry for the double-post.)

Hello everyone. I don't know if you guys remember but my Slender Man series, BrokenBranches117, kind of stopped for a little while due to some complications with our actors. Well, after 4 long months, we're back on our feet!
This is the first video since the hiatus: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Please let me know what you think! Opinions and constructive criticism are much appreciated.
(I hope I don't get in trouble for making another post like this.)

(I can go ahead and merge this with your old thread, if you'd like? bumping series when they've updated is allowed with staff permission, which I suppose I'm giving now :] )

This series is pretty interesting. I like how it's got a rather traditional setup, too. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to more videos!

A bunch of new videos, and no update to this thread? D:
WARNING: Ear Rape! Words flash multiple times in this vid, but all I was able to catch was 'branches'. I'm terrible at catching these things. xD
Spoiler:
I hope you don't mind if I critique?
I like what you've done so far, and I really loved the location in the Sugar Mill vid. The acting is okay. The problem, though, is that it needs a hook, something to keep the viewer coming back for more. So far, everything you've got, I've already seen in other series, i.e. mysterious packages were done by EMH & TT, and so on. You need something that the others don't have.
Dark Harvest has the Cult. TribeTwelve has the Collective. EMH added the Rake & had many ARG elements. MarbleHornets is MarbleHornets. MLAnderson0 did a lot differently. A unique, believable setup, the virus concept, a proxy who's not your standard masked creeper who speaks in binary, etc.

Thank you for the critique! And updating this thread! We sort of feel the same way with the "needing a hook" thing. In the way I planned and wrote the story,

we'll have quite a bit of original hooks. They just haven't come along yet.

Really love it so far. Good acting and a good slenderman. On a side note, I've been to that place in the sugar gardens video.

I really need to watch StanFrederickBTS (which I think this is crossing over with?). >.< Anyhow, I like where this is going.

The creator of StanFrederickBTS was amazing to work with for this crossover. I love his series, it's so dynamic and thrilling.
EDIT: Two new videos up.

There's certainly been some happenings in and around this series, hasn't there? And sure to be many more considering this series is now connected to ICANSEETHEGIANT...
I have to say, I started watching this series through that one, and I am REALLY loving your Slenderman effects. The use of an emergency broadcast system like tone to signify he's nearby is oddly enough, really fitting and creepy; never liked that noise as a kid when they'd test the EBS system on TV. There's something primal and eerie about that sort of siren... With static and screechy noises and such, it's kind of an auditory warning signal that Slendy's nearby, but this... it's literally a warning signal, and that's an awesome concept.

Still not able to tell what he's saying and I don't wanna have the Emergency Slenderman Broadcast System tone blow my eardrums out. XD
EDIT: Another update.
Spoiler:
What a musical, melodious Slenderman this one is. :3 Unless this isn't Slendy here, and it doesn't seem to be since the description says they "still can't catch the intruder on camera". Another monster maybe? Something else? Invisible Proxy? Another human antagonist? Zalgo? I don't even know anymore.
