have you seen recently this Apple commercial?




Haven't found any hard facts yet - so, go v/fx-lers, go!
Did she perform this stunt herself?

I dare to say "yes" - but with some movie-magic:
00:46:04 - :05 her right arms moves way too quick down...
00:46:00 - :02 her right shank never joints her right knee…

It's a composite .... imho.

=> done in TWO takes:
take1 falling down, landing soft (out of frame)
take2 laying on mill, engine starts, catapulting her to the ground ...

...or, nowadays face-replacement to some body-double....

... or, she just really felt ... :lol:
(ok, minimizes production costs, explodes insurance fees ...)

stunt double, very simple comp. Personally I can't stand Ms. Swift, but this ad is pretty funny.

don't know your standards of 'simple', but camera moves, subject moves, 'real' scenery, tons of blur, 'one take' ... plus where is the switch btw the, in your opinion, two girls?

I'm still convinced by my "it's a two takes comp" ... :P
maybe they publish a making-of ....

I like the timing ... reeeeeally slow, then Bang!

Do you know how stunt doubles are spliced/composited into scenes? I've done it lots. It is very old hat, nothing new. But effective.
