Wait, with adobe acrobat you can decompile PDF's?

Let me look into that.

EDIT: Well, wasn't able to retrieve the original layers (dont have adobe acrobat), but I did find some info on the document, using Adobe Bridge

Looking at the Spanish, obviously the person who wrote it doesnt know how to speak it...

First sentence "Mi nombre es..." is wrong. It should be "Me llamo"

and the final sentence says "good things will come to those who wait"

I speak Spanish, so this should be a huge help. And looking over the video, what Juan is saying, is indeed what the subtitles tell us.

Sorry for the triple post, but a big find! Searching in youtube for "Good things come for those who wait", I come up with a few videos:
first is an old Guinness ad with the slogan "good things come to those who wait"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=D1PBHMeX7ko

second is "a short film called hands"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IQDjynOzgCk

which leads you to
www.guinnesshands.com

Well, the site allows you to make a short film, in the same style as the Hands ad.
Its made by using your keyboard, with 5 different hand movements. each letter on your keyboard is a different movement.

After you make your sequence, you add music. Well, one of the songs on there called "Cante Flamenco" is the same song being played in the Juan Ramon movie!

My theory is that we have to find the right sequence of letters and send it to guiness, with "Cante Flamenco" playing, and we might get the next hint.

Also, Cante Flamenco may be important as well.

EDIT: Some people are wondering what the numbers 119500 mean, well I just found out that it takes 119.5 sec to pour "the perfect Guinness pint" that is why the tagline is "good things come to those who wait"

CaptKing, I think you may be right about the pouring time and the number. And the frame by frame might be a clue to get us to use that site you mentioned. Definite things to try - they said it wasn't going to be easy.

New Clue

[RedHatty]

Didn't see it mentioned, but on the fingers in the make your own hands video, there are letters written on the fingertips.

I see H, I, T, W (or M), C AND Q, O, G, S, E

Here's a screencap cropped to just the fingers

[notgordian]

Could this be what the numbers on the dominos are for? Matching finger order with the hands, or at least spelling something out to give us the hint?

[RedHatty]

maybe, but the W (or M) is sideways, the C and the S are reversed - don't know if that means anything but ...

I tried qogse but nothing different came up

I am thinking the dominos really play a big part in this. There is slight of hand with these hands in the movie, and there is slight of hand with the dominos. But have no idea what this clue can mean. Since this was the ad that was referring to frame by frame, maybe we should check out the swimming ad as well for a clue.

from the Guinness website - Welcome to Surfer:
Welcome to Surfer - one of the most celebrated ads of recent times. Part of the 'Good Things Come to Those who Wait' campaign,

Edited: here is the link - I don't see an obvious clue though:

Edited again: found a cache of a promo by the ad agency and it says that we have to piece together a new film:

"To be the first to see the new ad you must solve a series of clues, codes and puzzles and piece together the new film�but don't expect it to be easy."

There is 16 frames to a foot - I hope we don't have to find 16 pieces and piece them together into a foot (unless they are referring to the film edges Bruce already did).
