This subpage describes the incremental piecing together of the video as it was revealed fragment by fragment via the game The Lost Experience. The fans' process of obtaining each of the seventy video fragments, as well as ordering them, is documented here.
Below is the list of all segments in sequence order. The left image is the start of clip, and the right one is the one displayed on hansoexposed.com (end.) Images link to a larger version (320x240). Section titles link to a video of all segments in that section and glyph codes link to the clip on HansoExposed.
Alvar Hanso- "If you are watching this film, you already know and have worked with Gerald and Karen DeGroot..."
Context :
Segment of Alvar Hanso's orientation film introduction speech.
Description :
Alvar Hanso is standing still, speaking in the position he started his speech in.
Continuity :
The orientation film music is still playing at the start of the clip. Alvar Hanso's phrase is complete in meaning (doesn't necessarily start nor lead anywhere...)
The camera changes to a closer view on Alvar Hanso's upper body, who continues his speech without moving.
Continuity :
Speech starts with "ive", completing the word "Initiative" from last segment. The camera is slightly lower in 7HKBH and contrast is not the same, although Hanso's position matches exactly.
Alvar Hanso- "In a few weeks, after your induction, counseling and survival training, you and your colleagues will be shipped to a top secret facil [...]"
Context :
Alvar Hanso explains the subject's mission in the orientation film.
Description :
Alvar Hanso narrating while the screen shows images of a rocky cost followed by a palm tree in front of a hill with something that looks like a box on top. The segment ends with Alvar Hanso in mid-word (it would seem he was going to say "facility".)
Continuity :
Starts with zoom on Alvar Hanso's face as in 7HKBH ending. Ends on a black frame.
It is possible that there is a missing clip here. But the original film most likely has a cut here, with just the end of the word "facility" missing.
Alvar Hanso- "...the DeGroots, the few high ranking members of my organization."
Context :
Alvar Hanso explains the subject's mission in the orientation film.
Description :
Alvar Hanso narrating while the screen shows a tropical looking forest shrouded by fog.
Continuity :
While there is a slight light variation from last segment and the orientation film may have been edited, it seems unlikely that there are missing segments before or after this one.
Alvar Hanso- "In 1962, only [thirteen] years ago, the world came to the brink of Nuclear War. The United States and The Soviet Union almost fulfilled the promise of mutual assured destruction. A promise they continue to foster through a destructive Cold War."
Context :
Alvar Hanso's orientation film history speech.
Description :
Archival footage of military vehicles, (in)famous political figures (Kennedy, Khrushchev, Castro) related to the Cuban Missile Crisis as well as exploding missiles and atomic mushrooms are shown while Alvar Hanso narrates.
Continuity :
Opens on a close-up of Alvar Hanso. Ends on shot of sky.
Alvar Hanso- "It predicts the exact number of years and months before humanity extinguishes itself."
Context :
Alvar Hanso's orientation film history speech.
Description :
A man in a white lab coat takes a pen to write underneath the already written "The Valenzetti Equation" on a board.
Continuity :
Ends on view of man writing; not likely continued in orientation film, probably leads directly back to a view of Hanso.
The man in white coat may be Enzo Valenzetti, beginning to write his equation or it's result, the countdown to extinction. It appears to start with the numbers 4 and 8.
Alvar Hanso- "His results are chilling, and attention must be paid."
Context :
Alvar Hanso talking in his orientation film.
Description :
Opens on a medium close-up of Alvar Hanso with the right side of his face covered in light and the left one redder than normal. His lips are slightly open and he has a weird look. Immediately, a weird sound is heard and the image changes to an extreme close-up of the left side of Alvar Hanso's face. He says the first half of his sentence, then image cuts to another plan at medium close-up where he says the second.
Continuity :
Although there is an audio anomaly, visually it lines up with CHOCOLATES.
There are clear cuts, edits and bugs in this segment, showing that this orientation film can't realistically be expected to be more complete than the known ones in the end...
Alvar Hanso- "That is the work to which you have committed yourself. Change the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, and you will change the course of destiny."
Context :
Alvar Hanso talking in his orientation film.
Description :
Opens with a close-up of the right of Alvar Hanso's face, then changes to a slightly wider view.
Close-up of Alvar Hanso concluding with his obligatory "namaste", who then joins his hands together. The plan changes to a close-up of his hands and lower head and we see him bow. The image changes back to a shot of Alvar Hanso-'s upper body, with his hands still joined together. Music comes on and the film cuts to the DHARMA logo and Hanso Foundation copyright.
Continuity :
Starts on big close-up of Alvar Hanso's eyes and nose.
End of orientation film, switch to Mittelwerk teaching a class.
Description :
Zoom out from watching the ending image of the DHARMA orientation film to reveal it is being projected to a group of people in white coats. The cameraman is filming through a small space between what appears to be large boxes.
Continuity :
The clips ends with Mittelwerk pointing at something hidden from the camera by the box the T.V. was in.
Mittelwerk- "Our operatives at the Vik Institute have verified this figure. If..."
Context :
Part of Mittelwerk's speech.
Description :
Mittelwerk is speaking about "figures" verified by the Vik Institute.
Continuity :
Appears to bein moving to follow TWM.
The Vik Institute reference implies they are looking at "figures" related to The Valenzetti Equation, the alleged unwilling "scientists" performing related calculations there or other psychological experimentation. Also of note, the clip's code forms the word "nanite", related to nanotechnology.
Man in audience- "But Tom, these are people, innocent human beings, and we're just-" Mittelwerk- "If you knew, with mathematical certainty, that you could end all famine, war, and poverty, what would you do...?"
Context :
Mittelwerk talking to a group in white coats
Description :
Mittelwerk, filmed from behind boxes, addressing his audience.
Mittelwerk- "It is not fair that innocents have to die so that we can perfect this virus."
Context :
Mittelwerk talking to a group in white coats.
Description :
Mittelwerk, filmed from behind boxes.
Continuity :
At the end of the segment the camera starts to move behind a box. At the start of GLLV8B it looks like the edge of the box can be seen on the right side.
Man- "Hey!" Mittelwerk- "We have an intruder!" Man- "She has a camera! Get her!" (incomprehensible shouting) Rachel- "No! Get off me! Get off! Stop!" Man- "We got her." Rachel- "Get off me! No!"
Context :
Rachel running away.
Description :
The camera is pointing towards the ground at Rachel's legs as she is running away, at last moment she seems to be captured.
Continuity :
This is most likely the last clip because it has the short beep at the end as do most of Rachel's videos.
