Aw, this brings back memories of my old graphic design dayjob laying out trade magazines.  Photoshopping crazy cover designs, laying everything out in InDes.  I miss Adobe InDesign. 

Such a crazy production, just for a simple object shot.  Overkill, all that equipment for such a simple shot that some college kid can produce with a desk lamp in their dorm, and then tweak in photoshop later.  LOL

I agree, what a lot of work for such a basic shot :)

Had to hold onto the arms of my chair it was going so fast!  Good video.

I don't think there is anything crazy in that production: a digital large format camera plus few head flash lights. That deep of field of that 3G iPhones cover shot simply cannot be obtained without tilt/shift movements.

Scheimpflug is dead but his principle is still alive!
