Severance’s lumon terminal pro computer now on apple

 

The Lumon Terminal Pro computer from the TV series Severance now appears on Apple’s web store. When users click on the company’s Mac series, the fictional device is the first on the list, right next to the most recent Macbook Air. Fans of Severance might think they can own the Lumon Terminal Pro. The link, however, leads to a short movie documenting how series editors work on the show on their iMac.Design-wise, the computer brings back the retro look of the previous computing devices with a hint of futurism. 

 

The blue mechanical keys are in two shades of blue, with the lighter one for the command buttons. There’s also a trackball on the right, replacing the mouse and trackpad. The screen revives the style of the tube TVs in the past. Then, instead of taking up the entire width, which most computers these days do, the Lumon Terminal Pro only has a medium-sized display mostly positioned on the left. The rest of the space has a background colored in deep blue Then, there’s also a teardrop emoji blocking the camera, which sits at the top of the boxy screen.

Documenting the making of the season two finale 

 

Another nostalgic design feature of the Lumon Terminal Pro computer from the Severance show is the modern pixel font and style of the texts on the screen. At the present time, the computer isn’t available as an actual device, but just as part of the stunt to pull viewers into watching the making of the season two finale. Fans, though, hope that the brand produces merchandise of the show, given that its fanbase has grown over the last few weeks. Away from the computer’s design, Apple’s stunt allows the fans to dive into the inner workings of the TV show.

 

Geoffrey Richman, one of the show’s real-life editors and a three-time Emmy Award nominee, is joined by Ben Stiller, the show’s executive producer, in documenting the making of the season two finale. In the video, which the brand uploads on its website, Geoffrey Richman says he collaborates closely with director Ben Stiller for individual scenes before assembling the full episodes. For the season two finale, the editor manages 70 camera angles and takes for the marching band sequence. So far, season two of Severance, where the Lumon Terminal Pro computer is also present, is now streaming. There’s a third season confirmed with no official release date yet.
