> You would just think that with a brand so intrinsically wrapped around the concept of technology working for and with the people that use it, you'd want to show the people who made it if you're going to show the apple campus at all.

I would think that a brand that is at least trying to put some emphasis on privacy in their products would also extend the same principle to their workforce. I don’t work for Apple, but I doubt that most of their employees would be thrilled about just being filmed at work for a public promo video.



There are legal issues with it too, or at least they think there are. They take down developer presentations after a few years partly so they won't have videos of random (ex-)employees up forever.


What legal issues could arise from a recording of an employee publicly representing the company?


Privacy and likeness rights, that kind of thing. And licenses expiring on stock photos or whatever's in the background.
