"Hidden" Code list/discussion

[Huck]

I have a feeling we might be seeing a new code soon. There was also someone talking about Vanity Fair magazine. Someone might check there.

That was me. I saw a Julie Benze tweet with a photo of the ad. I called a chick I knew and she said she had the magazine. She didn't see a code. But, I personally haven't seen the ad.

When Bandai put out .hack in the US, they had a ton of hidden gate codes in print ads. So, could be something similar with Defiance.

There are some twitter posts today with numbers that I have been trying to work out because they don't really make sense. I'll list them below along with what I find questionable about them.

Tweet 1
Did you know? During the Live Action Trailer 823 real bullets were fired during filming!

Reason I question it:
For film and production blanks are used instead of real bullets, both for safety reasons and they film better. Plus some of the gunfire in that video is at an upward angle which if real bullets were used would likely go over any backstop they were using and potentially come down in a populated area. I don't think that they would be that irresponsible.

Tweet 2
Did you know? During the Live Action trailer we had 24.5 beards on set?

Reason I question it:
What exactly is a half beard? :P Second off unless they are limiting this to cast only I have a hard time believing a number this low. I have done Tech Theater for both video and stage performances and believe me a lot of the crew sports facial hair. (you try shaving after being out late on the last shoot and having to get up at some ungodly hour the next morning... trust me the extra 5 mins of sleep trumps being clean shaven after a while).

Tweet 3
Did you know? 478 cups of coffee were drunk during the live action trailer filming!

Reason I question it:
I can't see them paying someone to count how many cups of coffee were drunk, they have better things to spend money on. I also can't imagine coffee being the only liquid on the set (they should have had water available at least) meaning they could not simply count the number of styrofoam cups used.

I suspect it has something to do with the numbers in each post but haven't come up with anything yet. I am hoping that by bringing it to the community here and getting more eyes on it something will jump out at someone.

This is a long shot but it's all I have right now, what if those numbers indicate specific frames of the trailer we should have another look at?

Nope, PST is 8 hours behind GMT.

ok GMT is Greenwich Mean Time, i was thinking it was General Moutain Time lol which is actually Moutain Standard Time MST. Either way it's 3:54AM CST and my brain isnt functioning lol
