A new intruiging ad from Apple, this time for the iPod Shuffle (Hi or Low quality). The simplicity and product placement, is all there is.

Similarities can be seen in the “hands” ad for HP earlier in 2006. Both ads have your eyes fixed on the hand and arm actions. However Apple’s exclusion of motiongraphics and other details is what makes this ad differ from HP’s “hands”.
(The actual advert release was two weeks ago, but stepheno.net did not exist two weeks ago.)
I was tipped off via a chat, that some nifty onion skinning features in iStopMotion, may be of use when getting the actors to line up for the next shot. http://help.istopmotion.com/stories/storyReader$18
