Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
The video hasn't half left Towers a lot to live up to with some of their own marketing. For a short initial teaser video this fan one does appear somewhat perfect, the music is well done and the editing and animation of the 'logo' is brilliant. If that can be done easily for no cost (I can't imagine anyone has gone to massive extents to make that video) then Towers should be able to produce some pretty special things, I hope! Also, this is a nice bit of free marketing for Towers!
Ah here we go, from Twitter:
Whoever did make it must be pretty gutted it only lasted an hour or so until they were outed!!

Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
I believe it's real! Yes, it may not be connected to towers, but is this because this is an organisation who will invade x sector, who Alton wont know a thing about?
It just seems the type of thing Alton would do, to get marketing up a bit before anything big!

Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
Yeah like Towers Times said 'It doesn't rule out external marketing' But too be honest its not like Alton Towers will use it. Due too them having there graphical partnerships with Bottle top.
(If anyone is wondering who bottle top they are a graphics media based company) They did a good job doing the briefing and queue line video for Sub-Terra.

check out there stuff on there website. Maybe Alton are getting these guys too do it for 'SW7' who knows. All that we can say now is the rides gonna be freaking amazing if people are coming up with awesome ideas like the fan made video. Does anyone agree?

Plus you never know, the marketing department may not have been in touch with the Social Media department yet. (It's a great video though)

Excellent video mate. Well done!Dan said:This is a fake video Me, Kieron & Chris made as we was bored last night. It only took about 30 mins to make and 60 mins to render.
Glad to see a lot of you like it

@PhalanxControl flashback anyone?
Josh said:Haha, maybe all these fake accounts will push towers into starting their own marketing!
Although, if they choose to use Twitter for their marketing no-one will believe it when it starts
@PhalanxControl flashback anyone?
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
Well since Dan & Kieron gave up on the con so quickly (I'd have been happy to drag it out a while even with Towers denying it was official) I'll explain the code.
Rx - used to represent a prescription
CR - reference to the code for the vaccine from lost http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Vaccine
5:14 - from the photo
2-1PL - Pound Land
Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the video we produced. I'll render the logo in various stages of animation for avatars, wallpapers, etc, sometime over the next few days.

Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
Great work guys, and very convincing! It was a very nice little video you did, certainly would have been good enough for Towers to use.
As for this other Doctor Kelman account, that's just hilariously fake! If Towers do create a Twitter account, which I'd imagine they will (most likely for the MOJ) then they're going to have to make it rather clear it's official!
