Hi all, I’ve updated again with details of the new video. I’ve taken shots of what I thought were the key scenes and made a breakdown of the video:
00:00 – Small Rabbit and Large Rabbit looking to (from our POV) Right. (Background music – unknown)
00:15 – Camera Pans Left, revealing 4 playmobil sized Advent boxes
(00:25 – Camera shakes for 3 seconds)
00:28 – Shot of Castle in Background, music overlapped by “medieval”-esque organ music and “screeching” noise, camera pans down to close up on Box #1 (00:35)
00:36 – Text appears in Orange Box to side

00:42 – Tall Rabbit holding two flaming torches
00:48 – Pan left to Small Rabbit and Baby Dragon (00:54)
00:58 – Camera swirls and nods
01:10 – Link shown to dinosaurdracula.com/thing
01:13 – Box 2 shown open, green text reads dece2
01:17 – Pan to Tall Rabbit next to ‘wooden box’, pan outwards to reveal Small Rabbit
01:12 – Video cuts to Box 3, text shows

01:52 – Pans around, Tall Rabbit holding two swords with blade pointing backwards.

02:31 – Camera shakes violently

A small accomplishment I know, but dammit, I’ve been working at this thing for like two weeks or something.

Perhaps the bunnies from the 2002 unfinished calendar are going to use the Knights Duel advent calendar linked to in my name to attack our intrepid heros!
Heh, thanks FM, I take that as a heck of a compliment.
Frakkyfire, I think my brother is too used to the things I take an interest in. When I was out taking photos of bunnies in shop windows and he asked why, I told him. “Oh, ok”.
And also, “It’s Day 4 in the Playmobil House…”
Mista Snowman and Waiterbot – Ground Floor, Left side room.
Box, Mare and James Lipton – First Floor, Right side
Mista Snowman, Waiterbot, Knacks, Tigerboy and Orange Oswald – Ground Floor, Left side room.
And Box is back to making sense and sentences, think maybe he was just messing with Santa?

Just saw the latest youtube vid. I can’t believe the amount of work that is going into this.
I am truly in awe of everyone figuring all this stuff out! I got halfway through the donnie darko website before saying ‘fark it’.
If I could add my meager 2 cents? It prolly means nothing, but the font for day “2″ is different. It looks to be ‘Century Schoolbook’ as opposed to the handwritten font of all the other days. This WAS the day we learned about dinosardracula.com/thing so maybe it was a hint to take closer notice? I noticed it b/c on day three, Tigerboy makes a reference to what font the lego calendar was using. Sorry if its been pointed out but now I’m hooked.
Ann, good catch on the font for the calendar – I don’t think we’d noticed that bit, I certainly didn’t pay it any attention.
I think Hssxxlllo might have forgotten to remove all the placeholders on the website before putting the new stuff up, but then he’s only a Rabbit (possibly, maybe). No doubt he’ll get a tip off and they’ll be down faster than an item in a smutty double entendre.

Hi y’all. I think I’m caughtup.
Did anyone notice in the scribbles at the end of the Bunny Broadcast… the letters MNDS were scribbled in there?
Is that a hint that weare using our minds?
Or-
Is that a nod from our Buuny Pal that we were smart to spot the Loren Ipsum Page?
Maybe the Loren Ipsum Page WAS last night’s Clue?

As for Anders O’s note- the cover is New Broadcasts that Shook the World… I think it’s a drop that the Bunnies believe that they’re really stirrin’ shit up.
And they are.

I tell you all I be here bright and early…
and now me’s all alone.
Bummer!
*wanders off to make tea*

Oh no… you are not alone… the bunnies will see to that.
*quietly goes back to work*
(is it sad that I am refreshing this page every 10 minutes or so while trying to work at the same time? What would my boss say?)

That vid has shook the very foundation of the Advent calendar… I don’t even know what to think anymore. Can anyone make sense of the artwork in the background of the office? Is it relevant? The artwork beneath the “This isn’t an office, it’s hell with fluorescent lights” looks familiar… the big V reminds me of a Kurt Vonnegut cover… I’m not sure how relevant the artwork is, but it may be a clue to the employer (in case that’s relevant).

It says “More More Production!”
That video made me laugh and be scared at the same time. The music in the background was funny to me, but the rest of it was creepy… That sounded like Bach or Castlevania. The latter seems like a legitimate choice since there was a castle in the background.
Why didn’t the bunnies open the older days’ boxes? It seems bizarre that they would just leave them piling up, unless they know what they are looking for and consider other items frivolous…
I’m doing the same thing, FM. Luckily, I work in my college’s library and it’s the end of the semester, so it’s been very slow lately.
As for the art in the office background, I can make out “More M (something) Production” in front of the giant V.
The first thing I thought of when I saw it was “V” the television series, but that probably has no bearing on anything at all.

Was that the sound a dying rabbit makes? It sounds pretty creepy. I think that may be what it sounds like when they talk, because it’s only audible when the bunnies are on screen and looking at each other, or what I believe to be the taller rabbit chanting the spell. (I think the tall one is a girl. It looks like she has bunny boobs.)
And to clarify, I’m 90% sure that song is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach. It’s the scary song you usually hear in monster movies. (particularly Dracula related ones)
