Since it was revived by geek blog UNEASYsilence a while back, new content has been trickling into MacTV’s podcast feed, and last week brought a gem: a 3-minute video giving a behind-the-scenes look at Apple’s legendary “1984” commercial.

You see it all: camera gear filming the hammer girl, men getting their head shaved and their faces whitened, and even big brother playing his part without all the special effects. It’s quite a cool piece of history. Enjoy.

This is pretty cool. It's funny to see all those guys getting their heads shaved for this.

Here's the song on iTunes. Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell.
