Russell and I spent a lot of time in the beginning of this movie developing 3 different looks.  One for the 60’s, one of the 70-80’s and last for modern day.  Allowing Russell to capture the 3 different stages leading up to Steve Job’s and Apple’s release of the iPod.  We also used 3 different stages of lenses from the time period all through Panavision which took some work to get going but Dan Sasaki was awesome help with that.  Great movie to work on with a great crew, also great to do a movie that was mostly in Los Angeles which seems to happen very rarely these days.  Worth taking a look
