What Is It? No Really, That’s The Name Of The Video Scott Caldwell, September 11, 2010September 11, 2010 One of the coolest, and yet, at the same time, most annoying things, is looking at something for a long period of time, because you think something is there, or better yet, because you’re told something is there. That is exactly what is going on with what you are about to see. I scrutinized this thing over and over looking for what I thought was there. And in the end……….. I was wrong. Keep reading to see what you see, or hear. The following was sent to us as a website known as WhatIsIt, and although it was shown on repeat, the following clip will put you guessing at the same parts as I did. Or maybe not. Take a look and a listen. Ok, so now you have seen the video, and it’s time to put exactly what it is you SHOULD be seeing whilst watching the clip.The clip is part of a film entitled Windfall, which is airing at the Toronto International Film Festival, happening now. So what is this film all about, take a look at the trailer and the synopsis to see exactly what it was that you saw above. When a multi-national corporation offers to revitalize a rural farm town’s failing economy with a new industry, residents believe they have found the solution to their economic problems. But the townspeople grow increasingly alarmed as they discover that the company’s plans for their town are far from anything they could have ever predicted. Hauntingly filmed, WINDFALL delivers the message that sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel can be an oncoming train.Not what I thought it was, but keep an eye out for any info while our friends are at TIFF this year (/Film and FS), just to see if anything is reported while they visit. What did you think it was? Be honest. Viral Marketing Viral News Viral Videos What Is It
