iMac G3, iMac G4, and Macintosh SE rentals for startups and other companies, for product launches, launch videos, announcements, and demos across San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Three icons from three eras. Pick the one that matches your story.
The classic compact all-in-one in beige. Ideal for retro, founder-garage, and “where it all began” stories.
The colorful all-in-one designed for the internet age. Perfect for bold, playful launches.
The flat-panel “desk lamp” iMac: a floating screen on a chrome arm above a white dome. Sleek and futuristic.

Two ways to showcase your product. Bay Area only, available anytime.
The display shows a plain chroma-key green on the iMacs, or a solid screen on the Macintosh SE. Shoot the machine as your prop, then composite your own UI, app, or video onto it in post.
Best for polished launch videosOn the iMacs, hand us a USB drive and your content plays on the real screen. On the Macintosh SE, we create a Microsoft Word document for you or boot a game that’s already installed.
Best for practical, in-camera shotsQuickTime movies, older MPEG-4 and MPEG-1 files, DVDs, JPEG, PNG, GIF, PDFs, and simple HTML pages work. Modern 1080p video is re-encoded to a lighter format, and modern apps and websites don’t run.
A Word document or an on-device game. The built-in screen is 512×342 in black and white. For now we can’t load custom files, images, video, or apps onto it.
Send your files or text a few days before your shoot so we can prepare and test everything.
Rent more than one machine for a single shoot, like two Macintosh SEs and an iMac G3 on one set.
