    fantastic work! So many great narratives in this short clip. And I love the split second where you see the homeless guy with chocolate all over his face. classic :)

  • What I initially expected was an extended version of the impressive visual composition work from the Blackberry ad. What I saw was far more impressive, dramatic, and meaningful. Thank you for such a moving piece.

    Great look! I love the colors, the subtle camera moves, and especially the "barely there" overlays that highlight certain portions and help with the framing. I didn't even notice many of those overlays the first time I watched the video, which is a testament to how deftly you guys used them.

    Well I don't like U2, but I looooove the video.
    I really appreciate someone using the mathemathical 3D instead of vanishing-point 3D perspective.

    Love the cat-mouse animation even more 'cuz of its very suitable sound design :)

    Respect!

    David: I love you, I love your work - but I can't believe you went with U2! The music fits your video like my foot fits in a glove...

    Very nice! Was this something you did on your own to a U2 song, or did they actually commission you to do this one?
