Holy crap, I think my head asploded from the awesomeness of that video...
Anywho, I sent this email to TIMM:
Quote:
SUBJECT: HELP!!!
Body: I NEED HELP! G.o.D.S.E.E.D. IS ATTACKING! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!
Pretty basic, but I want to see if I get a live person, or an automated response like the youtube PM. I'll let you know what I get!

ARG could be connected to... Hoopeston http://alternativeapproaches.com/pnuke1/Article4791.html
"If we want the Midwest to recover, people need to hear Midwestern stories," said MTC President and CEO Larose Burton. "I saw Hoopeston at the New York Underground – and I had SYNYDYNE on the phone before the credits started rolling."
Hoopeston is about a Wicca school in a small town in Illinois.

http://www.nimprojects.com/ is also linked at the bottom of the TIMM website, and it contains a portfolio. In the portfolio, there is a poster for Hoopeston which contains the SynDyne logo.
I called the number, but got a chipper and irritating voicemail message pre-empted by something about mold and rat infestation. Instead of leaving a message, I sent an e-mail to the tourism board:
Quote:
Hello, I have recently watched the informative video on relocating to Milwaukee and am interested in obtaining more information. I attempted to call your help line, but merely got voicemail, and would like whatever information you could provide me with. Thanks for the help in advance!
Sincerely yours,
Michael Polowy

OMFG. That was AMAZING.
Calling and e-mailing now. I hope this continues to be as fun as that video was!

Seena Jon in the credits has his own website
he's the basketball player and cello player
he's listed in the credits as the Producer
http://www.seenajon.com/SeenaJon.com/Home.html
Also I think syndyne and nimprojects are legitimate companies.
Martin Pedrick appears to be a brit.

Yes, I figured Nimprojects was a legit business. But that calling card left behind is a pretty solid indicator that these two are somehow linked, or else there is simply an easter egg dropped into this one.
Either way, getting into Seena Jon and Nimprojects could be considered meta.

Syndyne and Nim Yeah giving credit to the actual video producers and the page designer... what's key is that the Blackstar logo does not link out.
It's fun that they give credit to some of the actors, perhaps all in the end with different attributions.
I think something in the credits or the captions leads to something.
I want to find a hidden Blackstar site or an MTC site.

ok what about this...
http://championdynasty.com
registration information is very, very similar, the only difference being Bluehost.com or hostmonster.com for hosting.
The lyrics right at the end are captioned different than the singer - the text is "Champion Dynasty"... so of course, tried the url and this came up...
but it seems so utterly unrelated...
ETA: also, slusho_zoom, there's a class L version of that poster later on... and it shows up very small elsewhere in places in the video too..

Is it me or did anyone else get the feeling the godseed like harvesting teens since the teens had their own section on the video and were specifically told to travel in groups and avoid certain areas. Also, the animation showed the group of teens have a shoot out with the godseed and then something massive descending upon (and apparently, to me anyways) capturing them.
Seems like a bad place to be a kid.

Oh man bruce, it looks like it HAS to lead to SOMETHING, it's too coincidental. Maybe this is just a really intricate trailhead. Heh.
Not much to find so far, but I did get an images directory:
http://www.thisismymilwaukee.com/images/
UPDATE: Called the number again, this time connecting to a representative. The call was choppy, but they are sending me several information packets which should arrive early next week to my e-mail account. One on Tourism, the other on Blackstar. I unfortunately was call dropped, I think I was talking to a cell phone because it lost service and was disconnected. Calling back in a few.
One interesting tidbit I've pulled is that Blackstar is heavily involved in 'advising' the government. The rep admits that Blackstar has 'made mistakes' but that it is a continuing force in improving Milwaukee.
2nd UPDATE:
Oh man. Jackpot. I called back, and he apologized for the disconnection. Confirmed my e-mail address. His name is Todd, by the way. He re-iterated some nice PR for Blackstar, but then added that "Mainlines are occasionally monitored by supervisors" and that he was "not at liberty to discuss Blackstar in any great detail." He then went on to say that all my answers could be found by 'looking closer' at the tourism website. We've got a lead.

Door In the video there is one part with a "Class C rupture radar" sign on a building and the door next to it has the word "J A G O D A". Any ideas of its significance, if any?

I also forgot to mention, when you call and get voicemail, there is a reference to matters concerning "Champion Dynasty". You are instructed to press "1" and leave a voicemail.

I noticed this during the "museum" part:
Hillary Duff as an American Television Hero? What has this Milwaukee come to?
