Behind The Scenes of Apple’s “1984” Commercial

Speaking of 1984, Forbes’ Allen St. John published a look behind the scenes of Apple’s iconic Super Bowl commercial. If you can bear with the paginated format and initial ad, there are some interesting details.

On the 30th anniversary of the ad that changed the world, I talked to Steve Hayden, the Chiat/Day advertising VP who wrote that spot. He talked about how Apple founder Steve Jobs commissioned the ad, Blade Runner auteur Ridley Scott brought it to life, and how that 60 second spot which ran just once in January of 1984, changed his life.
