The key component in the whole prank is, of course, the TV. The video begins with a series of shots showing workers tucking tiny cameras in spots around the office and installing the big-screen unit into the wall where it will double as a window by showing a realistic video of the cityscape outside.
As the applicants filter into the office and the interviews get underway, the room begins to shake and then a giant fireball appears on the screen that the unwitting subjects to the prank still believe to be a window. The quality of the screen is apparently that excellent.
The video then cuts to clips of some seriously freaked out people. Expletives are uttered (in Spanish), a couple people scream and all victims run towards the exits. Staged or not, the ad hits all the right buttons a viral campaign should.
