Today Apple published a new article and accompanying video highlighting the Mac’s role in the creation of Severance. Beware of spoilers if you haven’t watched the season 2 finale yet.
Behind the Mac continues with Severance spotlight
For a new article on Apple Newsroom, Geoffrey Richman, one of Severance’s editors, goes into detail on how the Mac was a key tool in his work on Severance. It’s part of the ongoing Behind the Mac series.
Here’s Richman on why the Mac is preferable over a PC.
“I like the interface on Mac a lot better than on a PC,” he says. “I find the way the operating system is laid out to be much more comfortable. I’m able to move between different applications very quickly on Mac.”
The setup is also ideal for a job that doesn’t always take place at a single desk. Though Richman, along with the rest of the editors on the show, is remote, he occasionally heads to set, where there’s an edit room with iMac. And he’s also brought his MacBook Pro onto set to have easy access to cuts for reference on location as needed.
“I can work on my laptop and I can work on my iMac, and I can work at the post facility or I can work at Ben’s office, and as long as I’m logged into my account, everything I do shows up everywhere,” says Richman, who appreciates the seamless data sharing and device collaboration that happens with iCloud and Continuity. “I could be lying in bed and I have a thought, and I’ll type it into my iPhone, and then the next day, it just shows up in the Notes app on my desktop. That aspect of Mac I find very handy — to not think about which system I’m physically at.”
Other key tidbits from the piece include:
- how the Mac makes multitasking easy while editing
- using AirPods Pro 2 across iPhone and Mac for audio checks
- organizing the big finale marching band sequence
- and more
For a more visual exploration of the Mac’s involvement in Severance’s creation, Apple has published a new video—but beware, it contains spoilers for the season 2 finale, “Cold Harbor.”
Apple TV+ is available for $9.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, Silo, and Shrinking. You can also watch free in several ways.
