i personally dislike these ads... they're flat... it feels like they were made by AT&T who were trying to capture the "apple ad aesthetic" but clearly failed...
Hey Apple, great job making that ad page work on Firefox for Mac. NOT. 
I had to use Safari to view 'em.
Apple web developers should know better.

Works fine for me on firefox mac version.
I was going to ask, is that realistically how they might shoot someone against a pure black (or white) backdrop. I presume you'd have the same backdrop setup, but in a more professionally controlled lighting environment?
You mean the Powerbook ads with Yao Ming and that midget from Seinfeld?
Isn't it funny how we're no longer told by advertisements how we should look? Instead, now we're told what we look like!
LMAO
Really?? Weird, I can see their other embedded QuickTime ads for the Mac. But not the iPhone ones.
I'm using BonEcho 2.0.0.7, never had issues before.
Nice
I liked the commercials. They're subtle and not in-your-face ads. I don't think this will be a long term campaign though as they don't really grab your attention. I assume this is just to show that iPhones appeal to these "average guy" types.

Uh I viewed the ad pages on Firefox and they worked fine....its on your end I guess....
I caught the "Doug" ad during a college football game on ESPN earlier. It made me chuckle.
Now having seen them all "Doug" is definitely my favorite, but I like all three.
Go Apple.

blooper with Elliott
I believe the phone is in his hand....CUT....the phone is no longer in his hand...CUT....the phone is magically back in his hand.
And someone mentioned the guy in commercial 3 had no keys......
It was pretty sloppy work if that's the finished product set.

I also had a problem viewing it in Safari, but I disabled PithHelmet, restarted Safari, and it worked.
The reason that they don't look as professional as the other Apple commercials is the lighting. In the other commercials (I'm a Mac, I'm a PC), the lighting is very smooth and controlled. In these commercials, the actors are harshly lit from over their right shoulder (conceivably from the sun). This gives them a bad look, and don't make them look like Apple commercials.

I hate to be the one, but these are advertisements. You know people getting paid for acting.

I hate to be the one, but he was being sarcastic. You know, that thing when you say something, but really don't mean it.

Well fart I think it was an attempted joke.
Ellen Feiss iPhone Commercial
Done...here is my crappy Ellen Feiss photoshop, I tried to make it like she had sunlight on her side like the people in the vids and a black background. I just threw this together real quick because I thought it would be kinda funny. Enjoy it for what it's worth, lol, which isn't much...
