The man behind the iPod ad silhouettes

    Vfxsoup has posted an interesting interview with Alex Brodie, who produced the silhouettes for the iPod ads. The interview also has two before and after photos of the people that became silhouettes in the rock version of the iPod commercials.

    The man behind the iPod ad silhouettes
    “Alex: One of the most challenging projects recently was the Apple iPod silhouette campaign. Each different music genre had a different version, in different lengths and different markets. I think I started seeing disembodied white wires dancing around in my sleep. I’m somewhat of a control freak, and do all my own roto, so I had to move fast. When your job is to be a perfectionist, the biggest challenge is always deadlines! Adrenaline though is a better stimulant than caffeine.”

    Update: At the request of Apple, the site has removed all references to the iPod ads since our posting.
