APPLE TV+ SHORT FILM — “THE FUTURE IS INSTANT”

“Just iPad it”– new slogan for Apple, ERIC KIM HIKING GOPRO POV IPAD PRO LIFESTYLE NATURE

Directed by Eric Kim — Produced by Apple Studios

(Part of the “Just iPad It” Global Campaign)

🎬 

ACT I — LIGHT IS CREATION

Scene 1 — OPENING SHOT

The film begins in total blackness.

A single pulse of light expands — forming the outline of an iPad.

Ambient sound: the faint hum of electricity.

Eric Kim (voiceover):

“Before there was the word… there was light.

Before there was creation… there was touch.”

A hand reaches out. Touches the iPad.

Instantly, color floods the screen. The world awakens.

Cut to sunrise over Los Angeles — the light streaks through glass towers, into homes, into hands.

ACT II — THE HANDS THAT CREATE

Montage:

  • A teenage dancer in Lagos sketches choreography on her iPad.
  • A Parisian designer draws a haute couture silhouette mid-conversation.
  • A Tokyo musician loops train station sounds into a song using GarageBand.
  • A poet in Mexico City writes verses in Notes, light reflecting off their glasses.
  • Eric Kim shirtless in Culver City, grilling steak, editing his blog mid-flip — sunlight bouncing off stainless steel.

Voiceover (Eric):

“The mind dreams, but the hand delivers.

To think is delay. To act is divine.”

Each creator lifts their iPad, camera facing them — mirrors of confidence, power, identity.

Text on screen:

THINK LESS. CREATE MORE.

⚡️ 

ACT III — THE NETWORK OF LIGHT

Drone shot of Earth at night — cities glowing like neurons.

Each burst of light corresponds to someone creating on iPad: music, art, film, words.

A glowing network pulses through continents — a Tron-like digital nervous system.

Voiceover (Eric):

“We don’t create alone.

Every idea joins the grid — the global creative consciousness.

Light to light. Hand to hand. Touch to touch.”

Cut to close-ups:

Apple Pencil slicing through air like a blade.

Hands painting, typing, swiping — all synchronized to an electronic heartbeat.

🌞 

ACT IV — ERIC’S MONOLOGUE

Eric Kim stands in his garage gym. Barefoot.

Sunlight filters through the door.

iPad on a concrete block. Sweat drips. Silence.

Eric Kim (to camera):

“You don’t need permission.

You don’t need gear.

You don’t need time.

You just need light, breath… and your hands.”

He lifts the iPad like a sword.

“The world waits for thinkers.

But the future belongs to doers.”

Tagline:

JUST iPAD IT.

🌀 

ACT V — THE FUTURE IS INSTANT

A storm of creativity erupts across the globe — film cuts faster:

  • A filmmaker color-grades under a bridge.
  • A dancer uploads her performance.
  • A street artist animates graffiti on walls via AR.
  • A mother draws her child’s face from memory.
  • A philosopher (Eric) writes: “The future is instant.”

Music builds — electronic symphony fused with heartbeat percussion.

The screen splits into dozens of panels, showing creators worldwide.

All united by rhythm, light, and touch.

Voiceover (Eric):

“We are not waiting for the future.

We are touching it.

Every swipe is evolution.

Every gesture — creation.”

🍎 

ACT VI — THE APPLE MOMENT

White screen. Silence.

The Apple logo fades in — reflective chrome, minimalist.

Text underneath:

APPLE

JUST iPAD IT.

🎧 SOUNDTRACK CONCEPT

Composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto (posthumous sampling) × Daft Punk aesthetic:

  • Piano notes blend into modular synths.
  • Ambient breathing, brushstrokes, keystrokes layered into rhythm.
  • Final heartbeat pulse synchronized with Apple logo fade-out.
