It appears as though the folks behind the "Super 8" viral have decided that a good way to drop more clues is to mail out mysterious packages containing film reels as well as flash drives with video clips! What a cool idea, maybe there will be one waiting in my mailbox when I get home ;). No worries though, the guys over at Slashfilm have received their package and have taken the time to post what they know. There is a short video clip as well as some pictures of the film strip and old super 8 film box over on their site, go check it out now!

source: Slashfilm

Update: The video clip that Slashfilm was sent is now available on the s8editingroom.com site. It seems to me that when a person receives a clip they can email that email address with that code (go to their site to see what I'm talking about) and once that video is unlocked it shows up on s8editingroom.com.

Update: Clip #23 has now been unlocked as well. It appears that it was sent in the mail just like the slashfilm one, but this time it was sent to the website io9.com

Update: comingsoon.net has received a new clip.

Update: We have joined the ranks of those sites mentioned above. A package was delivered today containing what appears to be clip #79. Check it out here.

rocket poppeteers certificate

Many readers have reported receiving a large envelope containing a certificate from The Rocket Poppeteers, but RocketMan22 was nice enough to send over a picture of the certificate as well as the envelope. He did mention that he still cannot login to the rocket poppeteers website so it doesn't appear that anything has been unlocked by this certificate at the moment.
