Apple Shooting 3G iPhone Commercial in 5th Avenue Store?

You basically answered your own question. But there's some elaboration possible, so here I go.
It takes relatively little time to do most commercials. Many of ours are done within the week. Of course, that's minus the planning time. The major limiting factor is the client. If they're an easy client they finish quickly. We've shot longer form stuff that's absolutely beautiful and it's gone out in a week. We've shot beautiful commercials that end up taking forever to get approval on. I'd think that Apple is a client that's expecting a lot of quality, but they probably assign someone to sit in on the edit who can get quick approval from whoever needs to approve it. They probably also don't have their own politics to get in the way. There's probably only one or two people that need to see it before it's done.
Basically, it can be done in anywhere from a few days to months.
Midnight is too late!
gotta get in there now!
why is apple filming in the 5th Ave store? makes no sense. They could recreate the store on a soundstage in LA - or use their Pixar friends....
It would be far more controlled, secure, and perhaps cheaper than this brouhaha.
This has to be some internal thing, or a movie shoot.......
Even though this is the 3G topic...I am actually more excited for the Apps than 3G. Especially since my phone isn't even a year old yet, and it's not even up to the possibilities of what it's capable of...Oh the joy if 3G was somehow already in our existing phones, just like what they did when they released the Macbook Pro's that had the 802.11n in there, and all you needed was an enabler...
Its really a tourist jungle around apple store today like everyday
, it's been a loong day, I don't think I can handle a mass of people until I chill for couple of hours.BTW
there is also something going on inside Tiffany&Co.(one block away) like a celebrity sight, since there is a ton of tourist trying to get pictures of inside. It can be a movie setting too.
I couldn't spend much time to take pictures, you know trying to get home from work
My guess is that they'll try to sneak in the majority of the actual shooting closer to the late night/early morning hours when there will be a lot less people floating about poking around. I'm assuming that the majority of the time starting from 3pm was setting up for the filming. While the actual filming doesn't take nearly as long. I could be wrong, what do I know about shooting a commercial?
They do have the store closed until 9am

No worries. I was just letting you know that midnight may offer nothing.
... and then again ... who knows. Take a good camera with a big lens.
No no no...they are going to assemble him. The stuff in the '4+3' cases is the RDF device.
You, my friend, are a trooper! Make sure your iPhone is fully charged
If only Sidney had a replaceable battery in his iPhone :-/
Midnight! This could all be over by midnight! The 4G might be out by midnight. Aliens could descend onto the cube with a payload of nextgen iPhones and be gone by midnight!
What the hell are you doing between now and midnight that is so important???
don't forget to add "in iMax 3D lol" maybe they will make a trilogy... it could out sell Star Wars and Jurassic Park lol

I believe he said he was resting. Not in the mood to fight the crowds and security.

EXACTLY!!! Get your priorities straight man!
Stinger.
Even if you had a scanner, you'd have to know all sorts of lingo just to understand.
The movie and its sequels.
iPhone ... the movie.
IPhone 2 ... the 3G experience!
iPhone 3 ... Who uses these for calls anymore?
Maybe the Apple Store shoot is all a decoy, and they are really filming at Tiffany@Co.

I doubt its for the 3G iPhone. Why would they use the Apple Store as a backdrop for a phone? I think the key feature of the iPhone is its a moble computer in your hand wherever you go. Seems to me like an ad in an Apple Store doesn't relate.
I could see it relating to the Apps Store. Something like "all of this, in your phone".
Or even the tablet mac? Maybe the actor takes the cinema display off the table and starts using multi-touch on it?
Just guesses here, but an iPhone commercial in a Apple Store doesn't add up to me.

Nahh, Disney bought Pixar from Apple in 2006. That made Steve Jobs on the board of directors on Disney, he is the biggest shareholder of Disney...7% i believe...

Maybe there is a Quicktime trailer that we have thus far overlooked....
oh well, I didn't see anyone else bring all that up lol. That was a while back but it doesn't really feel like it was that long ago to me.
