Is it viruses or viri?

I need to get this right so I don't sound like a dumbass when I say that on camera.

hahaha

So are they pretending that graphics pros use Windows?

:idea:
use graphic designer lingo to say that your being forced into it, possibly using outright lies like before.

Take the M$ money, buy more Macs. USE THEM!

Is there any way to flash a subliminal message across the screen (via vista or xbox) and have it say "macs rule pc's drool" or something like that?  May at least convert the film crew

There's one for mac, so there should be one for windows.

set one of the computers in the background to loop an apple commercials.

tell the director it would be nice to have some movement in the background. you just conveniently forget to inform then of what exactly will be playing.

Set a screenshot of an apple desktop as the background image on one of the windows machines.

Or a sticker that's half-hidden.

Man, they brought soooo much stuff to our little studio today!

First, they brought an army of tow trucks to move all the cars parked on the street so that they can park all their production trucks and buses outside. Then while they were unloading all their gear, they quickly filled out my studio with their stuff and totally took over the hallway with the extra stuff. There must have been about 40+ people at this shoot and the only Windows computers running were the ones that they HAD to bring for the shoot.

That was funny on its own. The computers had to be running vista if it were to be on camera, and then all the camera gear that they were allowed to use in the shoots, were not plug and play compatible with any of the vista laptops and desktops that they planted on my desk(s). They were pretty frustrated with that.

Then, when they were filming the gaming part, they brought over an XBox 360, but no one brought any games for it. Ha! So they sent someone home who lived close by and took some games from their pad and all they had was Halo 2 and Fight Night 3. Regardless, the shoot went pretty well. They ended up using a lot of the studio space for many more shots than they though they'd be using. Even the entry way foyer area and made a make shift back wall office thing and had a guy and a girl game on that.

I am meeting with them again this thursday to act out some scenes at a different location. Seems pretty cool so far, the crew is pretty anti MS themselves, so all worked out.  If you want to see some production pictures, Here they are in my Aperture, .Mac Gallery

No one pointed out that Halo 2 isn't even a 360 game but an XBox 1 game that runs on 360s in backwards compat? They'll need to shoot that over, I think. You'd think a pro crew would remember to bring some games for the gaming segment.

I was thinking the same thing.

I love how fake this commercial will be. After gutting the studio and replacing everything, the only 2 things that remain original are the couch and screen. Maybe the little tv stand too.
