\"\"<\/a>After the passing Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, a biopic starring Ashton Kutcher \u00a0– jOBS <\/a><\/strong>(Universal) – showed up rather fast in cinemas, and although it not an awful film nor a cheap cash-in, it’s also not very good – except in the production department (or more specifically, props and production design).<\/p>\n

As a tie-in to the film, I’ve added a review of a doc on the company’s founding and early gear which may have fallen far below the radar. Robert Baca and Josh Rizzo\u2019s\u00a0Welcome to Macintosh<\/a><\/strong> (Baca Productions) is filled with details, facts, attitude, and reverence for All Things Apple.<\/p>\n

As a more peculiar tie-in, I’ve created a set of videos, although neither have anything to do with Apple, Macs, or Steve Jobs & Co.<\/p>\n

A trio of vintage cameras used as props in jOBS <\/strong>showed up on Ebay, and I grabbed the most interesting because, well, it was big, blue, and cheap. About a third into the film, you’ll see Jobs (Kutcher) launching the Apple II at a conference. Within that big crowd of extras are assorted media types – photographers, ENG cameramen – and the most obvious cameras are JVC’s very red KY-1900, and GBC’s very blue CTC-5X (the one I bought). You’ll see them in two shots – the wide angle and a reverse angle from Jobs’ stance. Yes, those are the moments of glory for the two pieces of dead tech.<\/p>\n

Over at Big Head Amusements, I’ve posted a short blog<\/a> with (YouTube + Vimeo links) on Camera Test #102<\/strong>, the short about the big blue video camera from 1976 with narration by moi, and Flesh Tones<\/strong>, the arty-farty short I made with the camera, featuring appropriately trippy sound design which shouldn’t cause Brain Melt.<\/p>\n

Shouldn’t.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
