Mac User-Created Movie Explores Colored Flat-Panel iMacs
Mac User-Created Movie Explores Colored Flat-Panel iMacs

Who is George Masters? Aside from being one of the newest members of the TMO forums, he's someone who makes animated movies. Mr. Masters pointed us to a new "iMac commercial" he has made to explore the idea of colored flat-panel iMacs, and we think it's very cool. From his Web site:
Ever wonder if flat panel iMacs will come in colors like the original gumdrop? Ever wonder what a commercial for colored flat-panel iMacs would look like? No? Well I spend way too much time thinking about such things. Inspired by the many talented designers at Apple and the music of Living Color, here then is my answer to a question that has nagged me since January 2002, when the machine was originally released. Maybe now I can free up some brain space for more important questions such as why Little Orphan Orange's parents abandoned her.
The spot is reminiscent of Apple's original gumdrop G3 iMac commercials, but Mr. Masters's has taken the idea of color to extremes with his virtual iMacs, as you can see from the screen shots below.
The commercial itself is definitely worth checking out. Note, too, that there are two other movies being hosted on Mr. Masters' Web site.
The Mac Observer Spin:
We love the Mac community. Does anyone remember seeing any Dell fan-created movies made to celebrate an Inspiron or Latitude? Perhaps there are some Windows lovers out there doing interesting creative works with Microsoft's logo? Seriously, if you know of something like that, drop a note in the comments below.In the meanwhile, we salute Mr. Masters' efforts. He has put together some very nice animation, and we hope he enjoys his well-deserved publicity.
