Paul McCartney Apple Ad

Posted: January 24th, 2008 | Filed under: Blog Stuff, Cool, Music, Silly, TV/Movies, Videos |

I found this cool plugin called QuickTime Embed and I’m testing it out. It basically makes it easier to embed QuickTime movies. No more messy codes and I can now have the video come with a “poster.” It’s a clickable movie image that starts off the movie. Really cool.

This commercial was made last summer when Apple Co. and Apple Inc. sort of stopped fighting, finally allowing solo Beatles material available on the iTunes Store. It was also the same time Paul McCartney released his latest album, Memory Almost Full. The song used in the ad was the first song released from that album. It’s really great and I love the mandolin that he’s playing. I remember just feeling happy every time it came on TV. The colors, the music, and Paul skipping. Beautiful.

    Apple should make more ipod /apple ads like that. There’s one for Mary J on YouTube. Nicely done as well!
