    Amazing....Sigur Ros is hard to create visuals to because the music is so powerful the visuals have to live up to that too. You nailed it!

    That was fantastic. Nice work. (I feel like this is the kind of thing/emotional roller coaster/artsy Levis commercial/ style the makers of Cloverfield were going for. But you did it way better)
