I can confirm from a source working on the Ad being shot there, that it was infact a commercial for the new iphone, shot by non other than David Fincher. This shoot at the apple store was only part of the shoot, they a shot a ton of other stuff earlier in the week, at other locations. The spot breaks on the 9th, same day as the phone release.

Just because it’s a panavision truck doesn’t mean it’s not a commercial. I work on film crews and the norm is at least 2 trucks that size for commercials just for lighting and grips. The Panavision truck would have brought the Technocrane seen in one of the photos. It also takes at a week to process the film, grade, edit and sound mix so the possibility of anything coming out tomorrow is very slim.

I almost guarantee that…

Anonymous refers to the production company working on the project and

5+4 is the high-end iPhone which has 5+4 duties (a la Phone, Browser, Email, iPod, Camera + GPS, etc., etc.)

4+3 is the low-end iPhone or iPod Touch which has 4+3 duties (i.e. – Browser, Email, iPod, Camera + ???, etc. etc)

The Panavision truck suggests a high-level film production, and not a commercial or promotional video.

i doubt it, and plus everybody has been anticipating it. But i am a dj and yes production crews do that sometimes. But who knows, why would they put cardboard around the iphone table?

Guys,

“Anonymous” is the name of the production company ‘Anonymous Content’.

As quoted on Appleinsider.com;

“Murmurs from the underground sent to AppleInsider suggest that famed director and regular Final Cut Studio user David Fincher has been involved in shooting a commercial for Apple in Los Angeles.”

David Fincher is represented by Anonymous Content. I work in Commercial Production, and those boxes probably contain nothing more than Walkie Talkies.

I have heard from a reliable source I trust that the new product is an Apple branded personal hovercraft which will compete with the hugely successful Segway line of products.

I bet they are filming one of those “How To” videos like they did for the first iphone, like how to use GPS and other stuff.

no way they’re releasing it tomorrow.

june 9th, wwdc, they wouldn’t have any incentive to quietly release it early. (much as i would love to get the new iphone a week early!)

anyone find any other liveblogs of this? no updates makes me a sad panda….
