Some time ago we reported, showing a video about the madness that prevailed outside one store of Apple in anticipation of the iPhone 5S. The video named “The Dark Side of the iPhone 5S Lines, "Had been up on YouTube by Casey Neistat and presented from another angle crazy Apple fans.
It may be true that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but the Casey Neistat (director from New York) did not feel flattered at all when he learned that part of his film had been falsified to be used as a mobilization video for Apple employees. The modified version of the video was sent internally at Apple on September 30 to some customer service representatives to thank them for their hard work on the latest iPhone, according to an Apple employee who gave the video to New York Times. Of course NYT does not name the employee, but she has the video.
The video created by Apple plays in fast movement με πιασάρικη μουσική, ενώ πρωτοσέλιδα και τίτλοι από την κυκλοφορία του προϊόντος χορεύουν σε όλη την screen. Mr. Neistat's name, which was in the upper right corner of the original, has been removed, but the woman wrapped in a plastic bag remains.
Mr. Neistat, who has been a long-running Apple's longtime fan and was awaiting himself in the endless queue for the first iPhone six years ago, found his film reinterpretation ironic and insulting.
"They removed everything signalmine and they put their name on top” said o Uncertain. Η Apple declined to comment… what the reason anyway.
