Martin Scorsese appears in new advert

London: Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese appears in a new Apple iPad television advertisement.

An excerpt of the 72-year-old filmmaker's 2014 commencement speech at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts plays over the advert, which aired during the Oscars, reported Digital Spy.

The commercial follows students from the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, who are given the task to create a film using an iPad.

The young filmmakers are then shown writing, filming, editing and scoring their projects, while Scorsese's words are played over the footage.

"Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. So let the learning continue," Scorsese says in the clip.
