Hello,

I am new to this forum and need some help.
I know this may seem juvenile, but I need help deciphering what someone is saying in a video and this is the only way I could think of where I could get some help...

First of all I would like to clarify that I can hear, and although I DO know how to sign (basic) because of some classes I took when I was in highschool. I do NOT know how to lip read.

To get to the point, I have one question to ask (thus my name): I listen to a rock group called AFI who have just released a new video called "Love Like Winter". Well to give a little bit of background on this group, they love their fans and have created a little 'mystery' that their fans have to solve over little steps. Each step has a prize, last prize was special concerts for those who got the answer correct in five cities across the world. Anyway, the new step is in progress and in the video the main singer, Davey, falls underwater in the video and says something which many of those who follow the mystery believe can lead to the prize. We have asked everyone on the AFI forums if they know how to lip read, but as of yet, no one knows how. So I was wondering if anyone in this forum DOES know how to lip read, and if so, could you please help us figure out what Davey says underwater in this video. I am posting it in three different formats, windows media, real and quicktime. Please help. Thank you. JMD

Hey! I'm glad to help. I'm on the fly right now, but I'll come back and get this checked tomorrow. That okay? What time in the video does the part you want lipread play?
 
Wow, that is harder than normal. The lighting and the angle make it funky. The fact that they're singing instead of talking skews it too.

I'm getting something with "sho" at the end. something like "Sa pra sho?" The stuff before it is like "ma pa tay".

Maybe someone can take these clues a few steps further and figure this out? I'll let it settle for a bit and see if an answer comes before I check it out again alter.
 
i need the section from 2:24 to 2:27...

edit: and thank you so much for trying. we are all in a tizzy over what it could mean for the mystery. Especially because they are so happy with the fans for helping them to get the moon man at the mtv vma's again this year for their single 'miss murder'
 
Call that deaf lady who acts for the FBI Eye show and ask for her lipreading help. :thumb:

we already tried this... it is not in the song. this is why we think it is part of the charlotte mystery...
 
It doesn't strike as being 'fuck up bitch'.


In slow motion, it seems to match up with the song lyrics. But i'm no expert, by any means.
