"Switch" spoof ads

salmonstk · July 21, 2002 3:34PM

A number of people have created spoof ads of the Switch commercials, including myself. I thought I would start a thread to post all of the spoof and elicit comment.

And my own at <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/salmonstk"; target="_blank">http://homepage.mac.com/salmonstk</a>;

Just find the blog with the switch button

That was funny. Those filming their own... a piece of advice. Find a whiter wall and crank of the contrast on the camera or use iMovie to do so.

I wasn't sure what the Switch ads with children would look like; obviously Apple used kids that are older than my 3 1/2 year old son.

(Hope you will forgive the low contrast salmonstk.)

salmonstk, your movie crashed my PC, as have many other .mov files. What format is it in?

The "games" one I've seen. It's *okay*. The guy complaining about .mac was pretty lame.

scalz, your movie worked! Very cute, funny. "What's that other mouse button for?" Very clever.

Brad, your movie worked on my PC, too! The out takes were probably a lot funnier to you than to me.

Fran... What are you posting? It did not work. Just a big blank space.

I make my movies in iMovie and "Export to Web movie, small". It's a default setting, so I don't even know if Sorenson is used. What softwareare you using? Wht do you use Sorenson?

Thanks for watching!

What do you mean more white when you have your cursor over a person on the apple site the background is grey!! and that's when it displays the quote.
