Every now and again, Apple posts Mac related stories on their site... The most recent is an article about a 24 minute Documentary entited "No Dumb Questions" (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/articles/2002/02/nodumbquestions/).
This short film has won many awards as well as an honorable mention for Short Filmmaking at Sundance Film Festival (http://www.sundance.org/jsps/site.jsp?resource=pag_ff02_home&sk=su61pC7aOYBBe0iQ)
Of course, made on a Mac... but what's notable is that level of hardware/software that was used. Melissa Regan created the documentary with a PowerMac, single-chip CCD Sony, and iMovie. We're talking low-end here... I think it really emphasizes the ability of the hub-strategy and i-software. The best comment I've heard about apps such as iMovie and iDVD are that it's not that it allows video/film people to edit video easier (though it may do that) -- instead the point is it brings video editing to people that it would not have otherwise been an option -- the moms, dads and hobbyists.
