How The Apple iPad Is Made

A look into the processing, people behind it, and the company itself. A very interesting watch, whether you like or even have an iPad. 

Every day, 100’s of applicants file to work in the factory. The factory is supposed to be one of the best, which draws people from all over to work. 

BTS: Powder Photography

We’ve seen those images where there’s an explosion of powder, paint or some type of makeup in a beauty shoot that looks timed so perfectly. Here’s a behind the scenes on how some of them are done with stills below.

Behind The Scenes: Island Of Morel - Aaron Nace

This shot left me speechless. Aaron Nace did a wonderful job on the execution of it. It looks like a modern painting and it’s epic.

BTS: HOW of WHY - Nikon D4 Promo Video Behind The Scenes

Travel, photography, labor, and exotic locations. 

These are some of the aspect included in this behind the scenes video, “HOW of WHY”. 

“WHY” is the Nikon D4 promo video. This is the behind the scenes to how it was made. 

Not only was this fun to watch, it shows exactly what goes on behind a huge production. 

So much packing, and re-packing! Not to mention the exhausting travel. 

Do not miss this video! The helicopter scene was rather epic as well. 

Thanks to Alex for the find!
