Taking a close look at what you see and hear on a “Real Life. Drama.” TV series.

How it works, and why it behaved erratically.

A note about the quote: the audio for Sergey’s quote was most likely made from two separate recordings, and pieced together in post-production. I say this because there is a clear delineation in the sound of the sentences. An additional recording of Sergey’s voice could have added a more detailed description of the Ovilus.

Apparently, if you change even one of the environmental parameters enough, that will result in a different number, and the Ovilus will produce the word associated with that number. It is highly unlikely that a ghost / spirit / demon / other entity, read the instruction manual to know what combination of EMF, ELF and “temperatures” would be needed to pick a number for one of 512 words that someone else assigned to the unit.

By systematically controlling the change of environmental readings, one could work through all 512 words, one at a time. And, by recording each of the words, at a later time, such as in post-production, the audio for a particular word could be laid down for any video segment. For example, did you notice the Ovilus said “music” when a video of Eilfie (Music) was shown? It is likely the Ovilus was not pointed at Eilfie Music when a spirit picked the right EMF, ELF, and “temperatures” (and read the instructions) to get the word “music.” The word was probably recorded separately, and just edited along with Eilfie video. Nothing paranormal about that.

Also, you don’t need to ask the Ovilus any questions, it will select a word from the “Dictionary” on it’s own.

FALSE IMPRESSION WHEN UNIT BEHAVED ERRATICALLY
Ryan turned the Ovilus off after it was portrayed as behaving erratically after saying “demon” a couple times. Due to the quick editing and flashing of scenes, and word choice from the Ovilus, and when Ryan exclaimed “No,” one might get the impression that a demon made the Ovilus cut in and out. But, don’t be fooled. A weak 9-volt battery causes the Ovilus to behave erratically. Do you think Sergey or Ryan read page three of the Instruction Manual?

MAGIC 8-BALL COMPARISON
There is a fortune-telling toy (for entertainment purposes, also) that’s been around a long time. It is currently made by Mattel, and will give you one of it’s twenty “answers” on it’s icosahedral die. Just turn it over (gently), ask a question, and turn it back to read the response. I consider this to be an “analog” style-device, but operating on the same principle as the Ovilus: the Magic 8-Ball has fixed “answers,” similar to the 512-word dictionary of the Ovilus.

Also, there are Websites out there operating a computerized-version of the Magic 8-Ball. Here’s one where I entered a question, and the answer I got back.
